Secretary Senate Syed Hasnain Haider briefed the delegation on the role, functions, structure and working procedures of the Senate.

While outlining the core functions of the Senate, the Secretary noted that the House performs a crucial role in legislation, oversight, accountability and representation, offering a forum where provincial concerns are balanced with national priorities.
The delegation took keen interest in the detailed briefing and actively engaged in a question and answer session, during which the Secretary responded comprehensively to queries from the Pakistan Navy officers. The visit concluded with the delegation expressing appreciation for the Senate Secretariat’s role in strengthening democratic governance and fostering institutional transparency in Pakistan.
