🇨🇳China names 2🇵🇰🧑🚀Pakistani astronauts, Muhammad Zeeshan Ali and Khurram Daud, for China's space mission training.

On my personal behalf and on behalf of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, I sincerely thank President Trump for graciously accepting our request to extend the ceasefire to allow ongoing diplomatic efforts to take their course.
With the trust and confidence reposed in, Pakistan shall continue its earnest efforts for negotiated settlement of conflict.
I sincerely hope that both sides will continue to observe the ceasefire and be able to conclude a comprehensive ‘Peace Deal’ during the second round of talks scheduled at Islamabad for a permanent end to the conflict.

You cannot build a new life
on old patterns.
Growth is not always about adding more.
Sometimes, it is about letting go.
Let go of the thoughts that hold you back.
The habits that no longer serve you.
The version of you that you have outgrown.
You do not need to become more.
You need to release what is no longer you.
That is where real growth begins.
