Bilawal Bhutto Zardari (Urdu: بلاول بھٹو زرداری; Sindhi: بلاول ڀٽو زرداري; born 21 September 1988) is a Pakistani politician who served as the 37th Minister of Foreign Affairs, in office from 27 April 2022 to 10 August 2023. He became the chairman of Pakistan People's Party in 2007, following his mother's assassination. Bilawal is one of Pakistan's worst examples of dynastic politics, as he belongs to the Bhutto family, a prominent political family of Pakistan and is the son of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and former President Asif Ali Zardari, and the grandson of former President Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. When questioned about nepotism and dynastic politics in Pakistan in an interview with CNN, Bilawal famously stated "I didn't chose this life, it chose me".[1][2][3] Bilawal had been a member of the National Assembly of Pakistan from 13 August 2018 till 10 August 2023.[4]
