The overall message from the Two-State Solution Conference is that the world doesn’t believe in Israeli lies and propaganda. The brutal Israeli actions and genocidal policies have led to erosion of support for it in Western democracies.

It was a great pleasure and honour to meet my very dear brother, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in the historic city of Istanbul today.

Our discussions covered the full spectrum of the Pakistan–Türkiye Strategic Partnership, with particular focus on trade, investment, defence cooperation, energy, connectivity, technology, regional peace, and people-to-people exchanges.

We reaffirmed our shared belief that dialogue, diplomacy, and mutual respect remain the only sustainable path to resolving disputes and preserving international peace and security.

I thanked President Erdoğan for his warm hospitality. We also agreed to fully leverage the immense potential of our partnership to achieve our mutually agreed target of USD 5 billion in bilateral trade and to take the enduring bonds of brotherhood between Pakistan and Türkiye to even greater heights.

Earlier today, I attended the Pakistan–Türkiye Business Conference, where I met distinguished representatives of Türkiye’s vibrant business community. Their optimism, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit reinforced my conviction that the economic partnership between Pakistan and Türkiye is entering a new and exciting chapter under President Erdoğan’s visionary leadership. @RTErdogan

I am grateful to President Donald Trump for his courageous leadership and timely announcement regarding the pause in Project Freedom in the Strait of Hormuz.

President Trump's gracious response to the request made by Pakistan and other brotherly countries, particularly the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and my dear brother Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia H.R.H Prince Mohammed bin Salman, will go a long way towards advancing regional peace, stability and reconciliation during this sensitive period.

Pakistan remains firmly committed to supporting all efforts that promote restraint and a peaceful resolution of conflicts through dialogue and diplomacy. We are very hopeful that the current momentum will lead to a lasting agreement that secures durable peace and stability for the region and beyond.

@RabiaZahra14 I have fallen in love with Pakistan!

The same species capable of extraordinary scientific triumphs often falters in upholding peace, justice, and the sanctity of human life.

The way innocent people are being massacred in the ongoing conflicts speaks to the magnitude of moral crisis humanity is facing.

[Amanat Ali Chaudhry @Amanat222]

Yet, this remarkable achievement is dwarfed by the contradictions that continue to define our world. Even as humanity reaches for the stars, it remains burdened by conflict, division, and the tragic persistence of violence.

[Amanat Ali Chaudhry @Amanat222]

The historic completion of the Atriums II Mission marks a defining milestone in humanity’s ongoing quest to explore the universe beyond Earth. It reflects the limitless potential of human ingenuity, cooperation & enduring passion to push the frontiers of knowledge and discovery.

How Pakistan made the world over 3 trillion dollars richer

On April 7, the world edged toward Trump's 8pm ultimatum that "a whole civilization will die tonight." By mid-afternoon, Polymarket gave less than a 5% chance for a ceasefire. But then in a flurry of last-minute diplomacy led by Pakistan's PM Shehbaz Sharif, ceasefire odds shifted from near-impossibility to 100%, as both U.S. and Iranian leadership publicly acknowledged the important role played by Pakistan.

The sharp shift in probability of ceasefire from near-zero to certainty, allows us to estimate cleanly the market value of Pakistan's successful diplomacy. There was a sharp jump of 2.9% in S&P500 around the ceasefire announcement. The reaction was similar the world over.

Global markets represent about $125T, so a 2.9% jump represents a gain of 3.6 trillion dollars for the world. Pakistan helped create TEN times its own GDP for the world!

For me, the best part is not the trillions of dollar, but seeing Pakistan on the world stage as a peace maker.

I hope Pakistan runs with this new identity by promoting peace not only abroad, but also at home. That means moving away from politics of division and exclusion, and treating every citizen as its own.

If humanity is to understand what indoctrination looks like, this speech serves as a pertinent example. The deeper concern, however, is that such a mindset appears to permeate Israeli society, with these views often widely held and accepted without question.

Israeli MK Yitzik Kroizer on the killing of a Palestinian family by the Israeli army in Jenin: "There are no innocent civilians in Jenin, there are no innocent children in Jenin. I support the IDF soldiers in every situation, even if the incidental cost is children or women."

An event in one part of the world can trigger cascading effects across the global ecosystem, impacting economies and societies far beyond its immediate geography. In this context, international cooperation remains the only viable path to effectively navigate & resolve such crises

[Amanat Ali Chaudhry @Amanat222]

While the rise of right-wing, nationalistic politics across the Western world is often framed as a rejection of globalization, the recent energy crisis stemming from the war with Iran has once again underscored how deeply interconnected global supply chains remain (1/3).
