Vice-Chairman of the National Consensus Commission, Professor Dr. Ali Riaz, has stated that nearly 20 critical issues remain unresolved and require in-depth discussion. Speaking at a session held at the Foreign Service Academy on Thursday, he said that while preliminary discussions were held on many topics, further dialogue was paused to allow political parties to deliberate independently. He emphasized the importance of using past challenges as motivation and urged all stakeholders not to squander this opportunity for constructive consensus.
