HEC has revamped the Degree Attestation System (DAS) by introducing a fully online and paperless attestation mechanism to facilitate students and graduates across Pakistan.

Under the new system, applicants will no longer be required to physically visit HEC offices or submit original documents. Applications for online attestation can now be submitted 24/7 through the HEC e-Services Portal.

The new e-Attestation Certificate system is designed to provide a secure, efficient, and user-friendly process, with online verification available for attested documents and certificates.

The upgraded online Degree Attestation System will be launched and become effective from 11 May 2026.

STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP:

[Shehbaz Sharif @CMShehbaz]

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.

The situation as it stands at 1930 PST

1. Formal response from Iranian side about confirmation of delegation to attend Islamabad Peace Talks is still awaited.

2. ⁠Pakistan as the mediator is in constant touch with Iranians and pursuing the path of diplomacy and dialogue.

3. Ceasefire ends at 4:50 am PST, 22 April. Decision from Iran to attend the talks before the end of two weeks ceasefire is critical.

4. ⁠Pakistan has made sincere efforts to convince the Iranian leadership to participate in the second round of talks and these efforts continue.

[Syed Talat Hussain @TalatHussain12]

Imagine US V president and his team of mediators on hold, waiting for the Iranians to green signal the second round. What Trump has inflicted a thousand cuts on an already dwarfing power of the US. And he thinks he is doing so fine!!!!

[Kamran Yousaf @Kamran_Yousaf]

So, the US delegation led by JD Vance is set to depart for Islamabad from Washington 6pm Pakistan time today. Iranian delegation, meanwhile, will leave in few hours later after getting the nod from their leadership.

Stage is set. Islamabad to remain in the global spotlight.

Pakistan, a nuclear-armed power that doesn’t recognize Israel, is hosting talks to end the Iran war despite not always getting along with President Trump.

میری کل امریکا واپسی تھی۔ آج صدر ٹرمپ سے گفتگو میں، جب میں نے پوچھا کہ کیا واپس آ جاؤں، تو ابتدا میں انہوں نے کہا کہ آ جاؤ۔ مگر صرف 37 منٹ بعد انہوں نے دوبارہ فون کر کے کہا: “اگر میں تمہاری جگہ ہوتا تو اسلام آباد ہی رکتا، یہاں چیزیں ہو رہی ہیں اور اگلے 48 گھنٹوں میں خبر آ سکتی ہے۔” اسی لیے میں نے اسلام آباد میں مزید رکنے کا فیصلہ کیا۔
