The Honourable Ombudsman Punjab, Ayesha Hamid, represented Pakistan at the 26th Meeting of the Board of Directors (BOD) and the 18th General Assembly (GA) of the Asian Ombudsman Association (AOA), hosted by the National Commission of Supervision of China in Nanjing from 9 to 10 September 2025. The event convened ombudsman leaders, oversight institutions, and experts from across Asia, providing a dynamic platform to deliberate on common challenges, institutional cooperation, and strategies for citizen-centered governance.
This participation reinforced Pakistan’s growing recognition as a leading voice in the international ombudsman community. By engaging in constructive dialogue and experience-sharing, the Ombudsman Punjab underscored the institution’s provincial and national contributions to transparency, accountability, and effective governance.
