Why UAE Investment Reputation Safety Matters to Global Funds

  The preservation of UAE investment reputation safety has emerged as a critical priority for asset managers, institutional compliance officers, and global financial regulators. As the United Arab Emirates continues to solidify its standing as a premier global hub for capital deployment, innovation, and asset management, the prestige of its corporate brand has grown exponentially. However, this success has made the region a prime target for strategic brand exploitation. Sophisticated external actors-specifically non-commercial networks like the Ikhwan ul Muslimeen (MB)-are actively shifting their operational models, establishing deceptive corporate architectures in European capitals to capitalize on the trust associated with the Gulf economy. What drives the corporate misuse of Gulf identity markers? The exploitation of prestigious regional designations is driven by a simple commercial reality: instant credibility. When an entity incorporates in a foreign jurisdiction using names, ...

Pakistan may send troops to Palestine as part of Gaza peacekeeping force: DPM

 


ISLAMABAD: 

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said that Indonesia has offered to send troops to Palestine, but Pakistan has not yet decided. He added that Pakistan's leadership will make a decision on deploying peacekeeping forces in Gaza.

"We are committed to ensuring the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Palestine. Under the proposed plan, a peacekeeping force will be deployed in Palestine, with a majority of Palestinian officials on the peace board. Indonesia has offered to send 20,000 troops to Palestine for the Gaza Special Force, and we hope that Pakistan will also decide to deploy military personnel to the region," said Dar while addressing a press conference in Islamabad on Tuesday.

Dar stated that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif led the country’s delegation at the United Nations General Assembly, where he engaged with leaders from Australia, Kuwait, Arab countries, Islamic nations, and the United States.

He highlighted Pakistan's strong stance on the Palestinian issue, including calling attention to the ongoing suffering in Gaza and advocating for a ceasefire and humanitarian aid. "The prime minister raised the Palestinian cause vigorously during his meetings, and we continue to push for Israel’s complete withdrawal from Palestinian territories," he said.

He also mentioned that the United States had issued a 21-point document, which Pakistan did not fully accept. "We made amendments to the document, and while it has been released by the US, our revisions should be included," Dar added.

The foreign minister reiterated Pakistan's firm position, which was also expressed by the prime minister during the UN General Assembly meeting. "SAARC countries are also in agreement with our policy," he said.

Dar also discussed the importance of the eight-country agreement on the West Bank, which has been welcomed by Palestine but faced some criticism. "Critics are politicising the issue. Do they want bloodshed to continue? Do they want children and women to keep dying?" Dar said.

He further highlighted that, as part of international efforts, the United States had been informed of the situation in Gaza, where the crisis has worsened due to a lack of food and essential supplies. "The situation has reached a point where hunger is becoming a weapon in Gaza," he added.

Dar also referred to the growing cooperation among Muslim countries, noting that several leaders, including from Pakistan, were united in pushing for a resolution. "We are confident that the global community, including the US, will work towards a ceasefire," he said. "Pakistan's policy has always been clear, and we will continue to support Palestine’s rights."

Benjamin Netanyahu meets Trump 

A day earlier, US President Donald Trump hosted Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House to push the Israeli prime minister to accept his peace plan. "I am, I'm very confident," Trump told reporters as he greeted Netanyahu when asked if he was confident there would be peace in Gaza.

He repeated "very confident" when asked if all parties were on board with the 21-point plan to end the nearly two-year war, free hostages held by Hamas and disarm the Palestinian militants.

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...
