    Unfair 20 years retired generals chairmans of SUPARCO

    Pakistani governments have no interest in pursuing a space program nor is there any incentive to do so. This mainly has to do with the absence of a scientific establishment that could nudge them to do so but otherwise, no chance.

    The Ugly Truth About Pak Economy: A Brief History

    The PML-N artificially controlled the exchange rate and kept the rupee overvalued at 100-110 PKR to 1 USD. This might bring short-term boons but is horrible for long term development. IK and his team realise this well.

    The Ugly Truth About Pak Economy: A Brief History

    We've already cut down imports to 45 bn dollars and we've been in a surplus for the past 5 months as well. Pakistan's imports mostly constitute edible oil, machinery and petroleum anyway so we really can't afford additional taxes on anything else unless it's luxury items. Instead of singularly...

    Worst part is, most Indians still believe they can win a war with China

    Doesn't matter whose military is more powerful. War is in neither country's interests. It's obvious that the Indian establishment is getting egged on by America to provoke China and elicit an aggressive response from them. They could use to it to brand China as an expansionist state and get the...

    India’s step is dangerous and wrong: New York Times

    What do the Indians have on us? The only feasible way they could cause a serious internal struggle inside Pakistan is putting everything behind the Baluchistan Liberation Army which has recently been designated as a terrorist organisation by the US. So, not a whole lot. The fact that India...

    India’s step is dangerous and wrong: New York Times

    India shouldn't misinterpret it's recent endeavours in Kashmir as another West Bank scenario. Pakistan won't stay quiet. Back in the 60's they attempted to incorporate J&K in their territory as well and got a swift rebuttal by the UN and had to go back. I hope Pakistan will be able to dissuade...

    CPEC is dead. Somebody tell Beijing.

    Even more disappointingly, we're barely involved in anything related to CPEC. A prime example of this is the agricultural sector. According to the LTP drawn up by the CDB and NRDC of China, Pakistan is expected to lease 6, 500 acres of agricultural lands to Chinese enterprises for 'demonstrative...

    COAS General Qamar Javed Bajwa visited Pentagon - was presented Guard of Honour with 21 Gun Salute

    Say what you want but the visit was a major win-win for both Pakistan and IK. Not only did the US snub India by offering to mediate in the Kashmir dispute, but Trump even cited a conversation where Modi HIMSELF requested for the US' intervention on the matter. Needless to say, that sparked a lot...

    Turkey, India are 'natural' allies: AKP deputy

    There are no true friends in international politics. Just business and self-interest.

    China's capital orders Arabic, Muslim symbols taken down

    This is why a relationship with China should remain totally business oriented. All this cringeworthy crap about Sino-Pak relations being 'Sweeter than honey, higher than the Himalayas...' needs to stop.

    “Developing Relations With Saudi Arabia Top Priority”, PM Tells Saudi Crown Prince

    It would of been impressive if such superficial ties actually bore fruit. Petrol costs are the same, visa costs for KSA are higher than ever before and the entire Saudi-Irani tension has perched us in an even more capricious position.

    CPEC is dead. Somebody tell Beijing.

    If the US was so interested in ensuring 'mutual benefits' for its allies, why are we in the shits then? Surely, we've sacrificed enough to get a share of this 'benevolence' but it hasn't really been showing, has it?

    British Airways to Start Flights to Pakistan Next Week

    It's not my fault if you're too thick to acknowledge genuine contributions by other politicians.
