According to Radio Pakistan, Minister for Environment and Climate Change Dr. Musaddaq Malik and Minister for Water Resources Mian Muhammad Moeen Wattoo participated in the meeting. Ahsan Iqbal emphasized the need to restructure the civil service in a way that enables officers to distinguish themselves through performance rather than by initial service allocation.
