Pakistan’s mediation of the Iran deal presents it with an opportunity to capitalize on its newfound global prominence and to expand its footprint in the world. But this will involve hard work, both abroad and at home.

"For decades, Pakistani historians who challenged the state’s narrative faced censorship, exile, isolation and financial ruin. Yet, the perspectives they championed are now quietly shaping the country’s evolving identity."

Had a most warm and cordial meeting with H.E. President Xi Jinping in Beijing today as Pakistan and China celebrate 75 glorious years of diplomatic relations. I was joined by DPM & FM Mohammad Ishaq Dar and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir.

I reaffirmed that the Pakistan-China All-Weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership remains the cornerstone of Pakistan’s foreign policy.

I thanked President Xi Jinping for China’s steadfast support for Pakistan’s sincere peace efforts and greatly appreciated his visionary four-point proposal for regional peace and stability.

We discussed further deepening strategic coordination, advancing high-quality CPEC development, and expanding cooperation in industry, agriculture, science and technology, clean energy, digital transformation, and space cooperation.

I also appreciated President Xi Jinping’s landmark global initiatives, which continue to promote peace, development, and shared prosperity across the world.

Pakistan-China friendship remains a powerful force for peace, stability, and shared prosperity in an evolving world.

Expecting dating apps to match us with better and better potential soulmates is destructive. It encourages us to keep rejecting candidates even for minor flaws, and discourages us from changing anything about ourselves.

This is my 5th consecutive year serving as a jury for the Reporters Without Borders, Press Freedom Award, & it remains one of the most humbling experiences. Reading the work of journalists from Gaza to Sudan, from Myanmar to India is extremely reassuring for the times we live in

West Bengal’s Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee has firmly rejected stepping down after her party’s defeat in assembly elections.

PM Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party swept West Bengal in elections Banerjee claims were directly interfered with.

Alhamdulillah, CHAMPIONS 🏆

So proud of my team, we stood together through everything. Hard work never goes unnoticed.

I was once a ball picker, standing on the sidelines, dreaming of moments like this. Now I wish, If even one ball picker today picks up a bat tomorrow believing they can become a cricketer, then THIS VICTORY MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME.

Grateful to my family, Zalmi management, and my friends for always being in my corner, no matter what 💛

سی آئی اے کے سابق ڈائریکٹر جان برینن کا کہنا ہے کہ صدر ٹرمپ مخبوُط الحواس ہو چکے ہیں اور ذہنی صلاحیت کھونے کی بنیاد پر انہیں امریکی آئین کے مطابق اُن کے منصب سے ہٹا دیا جانا چاہئیے۔

PEMRA has issued a show-cause notice to Geo News for airing content related to the legendary subcontinent singer Asha Bhosle.
It has always been customary to revisit and celebrate the work of iconic artists when reporting on them. In fact, for an artist of Asha Bhosle’s stature, we should have shared even more of her timeless and memorable songs than we did.
Yet, Pakistan’s electronic media regulator, Pemra, has chosen to restrict this.
Art, like knowledge, is a shared heritage of humanity and it should not be confined by borders. Asha Bhosle herself admired Pakistan’s legendary singer Noor Jahan, whom she fondly called her “elder sister.” She collaborated with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and brought to life the poetry of great Urdu poets like Nasir Kazmi.
In times of war and conflict, art and artists should not become casualties. Intellectuals, musicians, and creators are often the very voices that stand against hatred and division, and the ones who bring people closer together.

بھارتی میڈیا کو خطے میں امن سے زیادہ اس بات کی پریشانی کھائے جا رہی ہے کہ مذاکرات پاکستان میں کیوں ہو رہے ہیں! یہ نفرت اور حسد کا کوئی نیا ہی لیول ہے۔

[Michael Kugelman @MichaelKugelman]

Pakistan’s role has shifted from facilitator and go-between to direct mediator and peace negotiator (amid reports of 3-way talks taking place in Islamabad). For now at least, Pakistan’s in the driver’s seat in the difficult & delicate effort to guide the US & Iran to an off ramp.

[Hina Rabbani Khar @HinaRKhar]

Proud that in a world that is increasingly relying on fantastic military solutions to all issues, Pakistan’s consistent diplomatic posturing over many decades has borne fruit. All conflicts end on the diplomatic table &require empathy&intent to resolve. All eyes on Islamabad.
