[00:01:32] to play the role of mediator geographically and
[00:01:35] culturally and uh

[00:19:00] far.
[00:21:05] Pakistan has done human work, it's been
[00:21:08] absolutely remarkable what Pakistan, what
[00:21:12] Islamabad has been able to bring about? Well, I think the
[00:21:15] countries that are mediating have to keep plugging away and trying to find a...
[00:21:20] is a solution, i think the first thing that has to happen is there has
[00:21:24] to be agreement on the straight of horm, buse that was the
[00:21:28] cause of this latest war. most important part is
[00:21:32] going to be dialogue, and i think the Pakistan back door
[00:21:35] diplomacy, qatar also is essential.
[00:21:39] india is not only destabilizing the region, india has, i think
[00:21:43] it's look at this ambition, it it was involved in terrorist acts in
[00:21:47] Canada, the persecution of minorities in India has... been very,
[00:21:50] very long problem, very
[00:21:54] systemic problem, systematic persecution the muslims, the
[00:21:58] are not only the muslims but also the Christians, on
[00:22:01] forces are police and devies and scouts
[00:22:05] rangers, they are doing the very
[00:22:07] best.
[00:22:24] Afghanistan remains a central hub in the global truck
[00:22:27] trade. According to the UNODC 2025 report,
[00:22:31] it produced 433 tons of opium in
[00:22:34] 2024, nearly 20% the global
[00:22:38] supply. Despite a temporary drop after the
[00:22:41] 2022 ban, cultivation rose again by
[00:22:45] 19% in 2024. Trafficking networks stayed
[00:22:49] active. Average opium prices of
[00:22:52] $750 per kilogram reflect the continued
[00:22:56] demand and functioning smuggling routes. According to the world
[00:22:59] drug report 2025, total global opium
[00:23:03] production in 2024 reached
[00:23:05] 2,140 tons. Myanmar led with
[00:23:09] 995 tons which is 46% followed
[00:23:13] by Afghanistan at 433 tons which is
[00:23:16] 20%. While Mexico and Colombia produce. smaller
[00:23:20] shares. These figures highlight that despite bads and
[00:23:24] crackdowns, the global opium trade remains deeply
[00:23:28] entrenched with regional networks adapting and
[00:23:31] expanding. Moreover, an cartels are shifting from
[00:23:35] plast based drugs to synthetics like crystal meth, which
[00:23:39] are cheaper to produce and easier to hide, and harder to
[00:23:43] detect, showing that the threat is moving from fields to
[00:23:47] laboratories spreading globally, but Pakistan is
[00:23:50] actively countering this threat under the national
[00:23:54] anti-narcotics policy 2019 and backed by the laws like
[00:23:58] the control of narcotics substances at
[00:24:00] 1997, pakistan's anti-narcotics
[00:24:04] force ANF conduct extensive operations in
[00:24:07] Baluchistan, KP and Sym, using drones,
[00:24:11] satellite imagery and modern agricultural methods.
[00:24:14] Pakistan eradicates poppy crops even in remote
[00:24:18] areas. In 2024. 25 alone Pakistan cleared
[00:24:21] hundreds of hectares of puppy fields, dismantled
[00:24:25] 419 illegal waterboards, destroyed
[00:24:28] 64 solar systems and repatriated
[00:24:32] 110 foreign trafficers. National seizures
[00:24:35] exceeded a 361 metric tons of narcotics
[00:24:39] worth billions, cutting off major supply lines, with
[00:24:43] technology driven surveillance, corridor intelligence
[00:24:47] and the interagency coordination, Pakistan maintains
[00:24:51] its puppy free status since 2001. The
[00:24:54] country is not just protecting its borders, it's safegarding the
[00:24:58] region and the world. Afghanistan may be the source, but
[00:25:02] Pakistan is the shield. Leading the fight against narcotics
[00:25:06] and ensuring safer, drug free
[00:25:08] future.
[00:25:13] From the heart of South Asia to the cross roads of central Asia, from the turbulent middle
[00:25:17] east and North Africa to the power corridors of the west what
[00:25:21] India is doing is not bringing
[00:25:23] just IWT or Indus water treaty into
[00:25:27] question, in terms of setting a precedent, it's
[00:25:31] bringing all treaties the world into into question. If
[00:25:35] India wants to deny water from the Indus river to the
[00:25:39] hundreds of millions of people in Pakistan, in my best
[00:25:42] judgement, it will be a world crime and it will be a crime against
[00:25:45] humanity. Pakistan is so well suited to play the role of mediator.
[00:25:50] geographically and culturally and uh
[00:25:53] diplomatically, they understand both players, and the United States and Iran have
[00:25:57] not had diplomatic relations for
[00:25:59] decades, global bankrupcy
[00:26:03] report warning about what is happening around the world and like you more and
[00:26:07] more basins around the world, river basins,
[00:26:09] occrifers, are exhausting the the water
[00:26:13] resources beyond the natural
[00:26:15] replenishment.
[00:26:35] "I think Trump once he had like to go to
[00:26:37] war,
[00:26:43] only Congress can actually undo the sanctions, so
[00:26:46] whatever Trump says, it has to go through Congress. One the
[00:26:50] key weapons that Iran is using the
[00:26:52] straight for moves for is leverage against the US. Having a US presence on
[00:26:56] your territory has made you more likely to be attacked.
[00:26:59] Realignments taking place to counter the..." and that
[00:27:03] includes your country, pakistan, along with Saudi
[00:27:06] Arabia and Egypt and
[00:27:08] Turkey.
[00:27:39] of Punjab played a role in resolving a longstanding
[00:27:42] issue which was impacting the export of Pakistani
[00:27:46] potatoes. Pakistan, first of all, I'm very
[00:27:49] happy that the government is now leading on this issue. I
[00:27:53] would like to say to all my fellows in Pakistan,
[00:27:56] politicians, ministers, whoever, please don't look at
[00:28:00] the numbers. Okay, numbers. is not the issue many, many famous
[00:28:04] companies coming here and everybody is so you know
[00:28:08] feel so promising of doing the local production
[00:28:11] and you know to get to build the uh confidence you
[00:28:15] know for the long-term partnership. this is much more to
[00:28:18] do with the really deep lack of trust between the
[00:28:22] United States and Iran, obviously that's something that goes back nearly
[00:28:38] 8.6 million children are in situations of child
[00:28:41] labor, and that of course is very high number. those incredible efforts
[00:28:45] made by Pakistan and in particular by his excellency Prime Minister
[00:28:49] Shakbar Sharif and his excellency field marshall are incredible
[00:28:53] and commendable in the entire
[00:30:47] Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif arrives in Saudi Arabia a three-day visit to meet
[00:30:51] Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on bilateral ties and regional issues,
[00:30:55] field marshall sayir in high level delegation accompanied the Prime
[00:30:58] Minister.
