The Human Resources Committee of the World Bank Board has elected Pakistan's Executive Director Shahid Ashraf Tarar as its chairman for a period of two years. This follows Tarar's recent election by the seven countries comprising Pakistan's constituency to represent them at the World Bank Board as their executive director, says a press release issued here on Saturday.
It is only the second time in Pakistan's long association with the World Bank Group that its executive director has been elected to chair the important Human Resources Committee of the World Bank Board. The election of Tarar as chairman of the Human Resources Committee is recognition of Pakistan's close collaboration with the World Bank.-PR
