WORLD WORLDWIDE ASIA PAKISTAN - news journal UPDATE - (en) IWA-AIT: IWA Events in Pakistan (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

In early September there was a visit from a member of the IWA Secretariat to Pakistan. A member of ZSP also attended. Meetings were held with members of Workers' Solidarity Federation from Karachi, Hyderabad and Peshawar, including several public meetings, visits to other activist centers and a few internal meetings and discussions. The public meetings were reported widely in the local press.

Workers' Solidarity Federation is growing in different cities in Pakistan and is the first IWA affiliate in the region. It became a Friend of the IWA several years ago and a full Section at the last IWA Congress in 2025. As part of the IWA's committment to promote the spread of our ideas and practices in new areas of the world, it was decided that the next Plenary and Extraordinary Congress would be held in Pakistan in 2027. Discussions about the planning and logistics of the event where held during internal meetings.

We also discussed the challenges for anarcho-syndicalist organizing in the region and possible areas for campaign.

We'd like to thank the members of WSF for their hospitality during this visit and look forward to continued cooperation and hearing more about their future success!
