UAE's Largest Visa Center in Asia Opens in Karachi: A Boost for Pakistan-UAE Relations


 The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has always been a popular destination for travelers, businessmen, and tourists from all over the world. In recent years, Pakistan has emerged as one of the fastest-growing markets for the UAE, with a significant increase in trade, investment, and tourism. To facilitate this growing demand, the UAE has established its largest visa center in Asia in Karachi, Pakistan.

The new visa center is a major boost for Pakistan-UAE relations and is expected to further enhance the already-strong ties between the two countries. The UAE Consulate in Karachi has set up 11 counters at the visa center to cater to the needs of the public, making it easier and more convenient for applicants from Sindh to obtain visas.

Previously, citizens had to travel to Islamabad to apply for visas, which was not only time-consuming but also expensive. With the opening of the visa center in Karachi, applicants can now save time and money, and can apply for visas in a more comfortable and accessible environment.

The new visa center is also expected to create more job opportunities in the region, as it will require staff to handle the increased demand for visa services. This is a welcome development for the people of Karachi and Sindh, as it will help to boost the local economy and provide much-needed employment opportunities.

Moreover, the establishment of the visa center in Karachi reflects the UAE's commitment to strengthening its relations with Pakistan. It is a clear indication of the UAE's confidence in Pakistan's security and stability, and its recognition of Pakistan's potential as a major regional player.

In addition to facilitating travel and trade, the visa center is also expected to promote people-to-people contacts between Pakistan and the UAE. By making it easier for Pakistani citizens to visit the UAE, the visa center will help to foster greater cultural exchange and understanding between the two countries.

In conclusion, the opening of the UAE's largest visa center in Asia in Karachi is a positive development for both Pakistan and the UAE. It will help to boost trade, investment, and tourism, while also strengthening the already-strong bonds between the two countries. With this move, the UAE has demonstrated its commitment to Pakistan and its people, and we can expect to see further developments in the Pakistan-UAE relationship in the years to come.

More than 1 mln people evacuated from Pakistan's Punjab due to floods

  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. Any  flooding blamed on India stands to inflame relations between the archfoes, embroiled in a tense stand-off since a brief conflict in May that was their worst fighting in decades. The waters of the Chenab river in Pakistan's sprawling province of Punjab threatened to burst through a 3,300-foot (1,000-m) concrete barrage at Qadirabad that regulates flows, siphoning them into a canal irrigation network. "It is a crisis situation," said a technical expert at the National Disaster Management Authority ...

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...
