Tashkent (TDI): Pakistan took part in the 4th International Legal Forum, Tashkent Law Spring, held in Uzbekistan. The global gathering brought together over 1,500 participants, including ministers of justice, senior judges, legal scholars, and international experts from across the globe.
The Pakistani delegation was led by the Federal Minister for Law, Senator Azam Nazeer Tarar. Barrister Syed Shahroz Bakhtiyar, Consultant at the Ministry of Law and Justice, was also part of the delegation.
This year’s forum, themed “The Digital Age: A Legal Look into the Future,” explored cutting-edge issues at the intersection of law and technology—from AI in arbitration to blockchain, digital governance, and legal tech transformation.
Senator Tarar addressed the plenary session, spotlighting Pakistan’s legal reforms in the digital sphere and reaffirming commitment to rights-based innovation and international legal cooperation.
On the sidelines, he had bilateral meetings with counterparts from Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and Türkiye, with discussions focused on judicial modernization, digital legal services, and regional collaboration.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was also signed between the Minister for Law and Justice of Pakistan and the Minister of Justice of Uzbekistan to formalize future cooperation and launch a joint working program between the two ministries.
The Tashkent Law Spring has rapidly emerged as a premier international platform shaping the global conversation on law in the digital age—and Pakistan’s presence underscored its growing role in that dialogue.
