Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz meet with Saudi Crown Prince to strengthen bilateral ties


 Former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif, and his daughter Maryam Nawaz recently met with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Bin Salman, to discuss the strengthening of bilateral relations between the two countries. The meeting took place in Riyadh and was aimed at finding solutions to the challenges that Pakistan is facing while also expressing good wishes for the Saudi leadership.

During the meeting, the leaders discussed various issues of mutual interest and explored ways to enhance cooperation in various fields, including trade, energy, and investment. They also highlighted the need to promote people-to-people contacts between the two countries.

Nawaz Sharif expressed his appreciation for the Saudi leadership's support and assistance to Pakistan during difficult times. He also praised the Kingdom's vision and initiatives aimed at promoting regional peace and stability.

The two countries also share strong cultural and religious bonds, with millions of Pakistanis performing Hajj and Umrah every year.

The meeting between Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz, and the Saudi Crown Prince is a positive development for both countries and demonstrates their commitment to further strengthening their bilateral relations. It also highlights the important role that Pakistan can play in the region as a bridge between Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries.

In conclusion, the meeting between Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz, and the Saudi Crown Prince is a step in the right direction towards enhancing cooperation and strengthening ties between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. It is hoped that this meeting will lead to concrete measures that will benefit both countries and promote regional peace and stability.

  Pakistan 's eastern towns of Chiniot and Hafizabad face a risk of catastrophic floods if an irrigation barrage crumbles on a major river upstream after heavy rains swelled it beyond capacity, officials warned on Thursday. Nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan are battling torrential monsoon rains that have unleashed flash floods , swelled rivers and filled dams, with 60 deaths this month in Indian Kashmir , and Pakistan's toll at 805 since late June.

No Ban On Airing Imran's Speeches, Pemra Tells LHC

 In a recent development, the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) clarified to the Lahore High Court that there is no longer a ban on broadcasting former Prime Minister Imran Khan's speeches. This revelation came during the hearing of a petition filed by Imran, who had challenged Pemra's decision to prohibit satellite TV channels from airing his speeches and press talks. The initial ban was imposed swiftly after Imran criticized former army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa, accusing him of shielding current rulers in alleged corruption cases. Imran argued that Pemra's ban was fueled by vengeance, leading to a legal battle that spanned eight hearings. During the recent court session, Justice Shams Mehmood Mirza stressed that Pemra should refrain from pressuring TV channels on the concerns raised by the petitioner. Surprisingly, Pemra's counsel, Haroon Duggal, stated unequivocally that there is no existing ban on broadcasting Imran Khan's speeches. This reso...
