Web Desk (May 10,2018): Forbes magazine has named Chief of Army Staff Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa among ‘The World’s Most Powerful People’.
The army chief has been ranked as the 68th most powerful person in the world on a list that includes 75 personalities publicized in the annual ranking of 2018.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has been named the world’s most powerful person for 2018, while Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump have been ranked second and third, respectively.
“Javed Bajwa joins the world’s most powerful at a time when the rift between India and Pakistan is improving, partly thanks to his efforts.”
Forbes, a New York-based bi-weekly magazine, observed that Gen Bajwa has a “difficult task” on his hands of maintaining peace in Pakistan, where militant groups are present, “while managing a complex relationship with India”.
“Two years into his tenure as the head of the world’s sixth largest army, Bajwa has established himself as a mediator and proponent of democracy,” the magazine wrote.
Forbes’ yearly ranking of The World’s Most Powerful People identifies one person out of every 100 million “whose actions mean the most”.
