[00:06:10] बिजयबान '
[00:07:25] joined pakistan tv's program on fold to talk about the historic
[00:07:28] maka joint defense pact. let's hear what you have to
[00:07:31] say. of course we see this historic
[00:07:35] agreement which was signed yesterday between as you said Saudi
[00:07:38] Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey and one thing that they...
[00:07:42] are saying is this agreement is not an
[00:07:46] agreement targeted any other one country, so
[00:07:50] they making that very clear. this agreement right now, we don't
[00:07:54] have so many details about it, we know it was signed in Mecca, we
[00:07:57] obviously know almost a year ago um Saudi Arabia did
[00:08:01] sign another agreement with Pakistan, but bringing Turkey in
[00:08:05] is also quite a significant moment for this trilateral
[00:08:09] deal, because it it signals the timing... of things, it's a
[00:08:13] significant commitment between the three big Muslim
[00:08:17] power houses that we do see
[00:08:19] in the Middle East, and we must remember something, Turke is of
[00:08:23] course also part the Middle East, so it's split between Europe
[00:08:27] and the Middle East, so bringing Turkey and brings in also
[00:08:30] a lot of military commitment, and
[00:08:34] Turkey have been building drones, submarines,
[00:08:37] ships, they have the second largest military in the
[00:08:41] NATO alliance. and also Turkey and
[00:08:44] Pakistan border Iran, so is sending a
[00:08:47] signal clearly to Iran that now,
[00:08:51] attack on one the three countries in this agreement is
[00:08:55] attack on all countries, and we must remember it's
[00:08:58] significant because as you mentioned it too, things in the region have
[00:09:02] shifted over the last year and the last few months due
[00:09:06] to the Iran war, we obviously had the US
[00:09:10] who was the soul guarantee of... security in the middle east since
[00:09:14] the first gold war, the first gulf war,
[00:09:17] apologies, and now we do see that there are
[00:09:20] limitations to that security, and that has been highlighted over

[00:27:40] it and pay my respects and tribute to all the
[00:27:43] mountaineers not only of Nepal but also of
[00:27:47] Pakistan and all other international climbers that were part of
[00:27:50] this expedition
[00:27:52] team.
[00:28:40] I happened to be shazadsan khan and with me I'm really lucky I've been joined by my wonderful
[00:28:44] colleague happens to be Miss Isha Rehan. There are a couple of stories that
[00:28:48] I brought and then there are couple of stories which Isha brought ministry of
[00:28:51] agriculture, the government of Punjab played
[00:28:54] role in resolving a long standing issue which
[00:28:58] was impacting the export of Pakistani potatoes. Pakistan.
[00:29:03] um, first of all, I'm very happy that the government is now
[00:29:06] leading on this issue. 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.
