SEOUL, South Korea: Senator Mushahid Hussain Sayed has been unanimously elected as Vice Chairman of the International Conference of Asian Political Parties (ICAPP) which represents over 300 political parties from 52 Asian Countries.

The Standing Committee also held a minute of silence to honour the memory of Senator Mushahid’s father, Colonel Amjad Hussain Sayed who passed away recently.
The Chairman of ICAPP, former Speaker of the Philippines, Jose de Venecia, praised Colonel Amjad Hussain as a ‘great Asian’, since he served with distinction as Pakistan’s first Military Attache to Indonesia and also visited China on the invitation of the Communist Party of China.
