Speaking at Pakistan’s first Economic Summit, Naqvi said the country’s existing system failed to deliver for decades and argued that simply continuing with the same model would not solve Pakistan’s deep-rooted political and economic challenges. According to the interior minister, everyone responsible for Pakistan’s current state knows the problems, yet meaningful reforms have never been pursued. Naqvi was of view that democracy must continue but insisted there are multiple democratic governance models and Pakistan should not remain tied to a system that has failed to deliver. He argued that unless new units are established with greater responsibility and fresh leadership, Pakistan’s longstanding problems will persist. In one of the strongest remarks of his speech, Naqvi warned that ignoring the country’s youth could have serious consequences.
