I would like to say to all my fellows [00:29:10] in Pakistan, politicians, ministers, whoever, [00:29:14] please don't look at the numbers. Okay, numbers is not the issue [00:29:17] many, many famous companies coming here, and everybody [00:29:21] is so you so promising of doing the local [00:29:25] production and to get to build [00:29:28] the uh confidence, for the long-term partnership. This [00:29:32] is... more to do with the really deep lack of [00:29:36] trust between the United States and Iran, obviously that's something that goes [00:29:39] back nearly five [00:29:53] million children are in situations of child labor, and that of [00:29:57] course is very high number. those incredible efforts made by [00:30:01] Pakistan and in particular by his excellency prime minister [00:30:04] and his excellency field marshal Assim are incredible and [00:30:33] is doing is not bringing just [00:30:36] IWT or Indus water treaty into [00:30:39] question, in terms of setting a president, it's [00:30:43] bringing all treaties the world into into question, if [00:30:47] India wants to deny water from the Indus river to the [00:30:50] hundreds of millions of people in Pakistan, in my best [00:30:54] judgement it will be a war crime and it will be a crime against [00:30:57] humanity. Pakistan is so well.
