[00:00:00] everyone that of course
[00:00:02] you know financing institutions and lenders don't really look favorably
[00:00:05] upon and targeted subsidies that actually address the most
[00:00:09] vulnerable, including the ones that I mentioned to you,
[00:00:12] and the duration as well, so
[00:00:14] of it's not long-term, it always needs to be short term,
[00:00:17] and I think that's the critical issue
[00:00:19] here, the what what the government is able to
[00:00:23] inject in terms of subsidy of social protection
[00:00:26] immediate, like for fuel for example that happened in the last few
[00:00:30] months, I think that's fine, but the question is what happens
[00:00:33] after the next after few
[00:00:38] a months, you can see for example that overall around the
[00:00:42] world over the last couple of
[00:00:43] of years, there are nearly one billion, one billion
[00:00:47] people in the entire world population that are most
[00:00:51] vulnerable and becoming even poorer as we speak, the majority
[00:00:55] of which because
[00:00:56] of these multiple crises are in...
[00:01:01] uh South Asia, East Asia and Sub Saharan
[00:01:04] Africa. countries in these particular areas are
[00:01:08] most vulnerable to these shocks, so for one or
[00:01:12] two or three months you're able to make sure that 130 million
[00:01:15] people do not fall deeper into
[00:01:17] of poverty, but what's at stake is much bigger, what's at stake
[00:01:21] is this one billion people that
[00:01:24] actually are are really
[00:01:27] in a difficult place. secondly, uh, how do you
[00:01:31] actually protect current investments and
[00:01:34] that I think is the biggest challenge? I think one
[00:01:37] of the issues that Pakistan has a particularly rightful
[00:01:40] grievance around
[00:01:42] is the climate change
[00:01:43] and the climate finance issue, where do you actually get
[00:01:47] support when a crisis like a flood happens
[00:01:51] or a flood happens every two or three years?
[00:01:55] financing recovery from
[00:01:58] borrowing uh I think has become
[00:02:02] problematic for countries like Pakistan and many others.
[00:02:06] That's why I think in the in the discussions that are taking place probably
[00:02:09] these days in Bangkok, there will likely be
[00:02:12] a discussion around what is an optimum combination of supporting countries
[00:02:16] that are impacted by crises and shocks, whether they are the
[00:02:20] straight of hormos or whether they are climate change or covid a
[00:02:24] couple of years ago, and how do you
[00:02:26] do it? countries like Pakistan, it's clear.
[00:02:30] that they are
[00:02:30] in the middle lower middle income countries and
[00:02:34] therefore there is grant support that will still come from vertical
[00:02:38] funds etc. but there are also one or two other
[00:02:41] combinations that are important. lending is sovereign decision, think
[00:02:45] it is important and critical but needs to be combined with other
[00:02:48] things and other instruments so that the price of lending
[00:02:52] a
[00:02:53] of isn't what ends up eating all of your revenue, so
[00:02:57] private sector investment, we just concluded
[00:03:01] of of last week. "a national sustainable development goal investment fair, where there's a link
[00:03:05] between what the
[00:03:06] a public sector needs in terms of good investments for
[00:03:10] transport, for
[00:03:11] of tourism, etc.,
[00:03:13] of and what the private sector is able to finance, and all of that
[00:03:16] aligned to the development ambitions of this
[00:03:20] particular country, and maybe I just close with one idea, Omar, which is
[00:03:24] insurance. If all
[00:03:26] of these shocks are happening, the question of insurance, whether it's risk and..."
[00:03:30] insurance, climate insurance, disaster risk insurance is really
[00:03:35] of in quite of important
[00:03:37] a in a country this big but has only one% of GDP penetration of insurance, it really is
[00:03:41] a difficult prospect for lot of very
[00:03:44] vulnerable communities who are basically on the
[00:03:48] brink of making it or breaking. all right, I'll go through
[00:03:52] my next questions very quickly and and if you could just give a
[00:03:55] of short answer so that we can kind of cover the
[00:03:59] conversation. during these few minutes that are left, the world met
[00:04:03] meteorological organization expects the elnino to peak
[00:04:06] of around december persist through february of 2027, potentially becoming one
[00:04:09] of in of the strongest since 1950. crops and livelihoods are at risk, what should
[00:04:13] countries like Pakistan do now to prepare farmers, protect food supplies and strengthen
[00:04:17] warnings for extreme weather?
[00:04:21] well, the first thing is warning, early warning, I think Us andDP
[00:04:25] plus many other national entities here and
[00:04:28] of many others uh have been offering better and better tools and
[00:04:32] instruments to be able to offer early warning
[00:04:34] support. you know, in in cases of
[00:04:38] around
[00:04:39] of March, of April, May, June
[00:04:41] of and around the summer, when it gets really warm, and this will
[00:04:45] become more and more the case in the future. early warning for floods that
[00:04:48] maybe originate in the in the north because of glacial
[00:04:51] lake outburst
[00:04:53] of floods, of I think that's important. secondly, monsoon, early
[00:04:57] warning, and especially when, like I
[00:05:01] said, agricultural seasons are delayed, etc., so the
[00:05:05] early warning part I think is really quite important, and the
[00:05:09] agricultural sector, I think is particularly critical. there as
[00:05:13] well, the reason we talk about agriculture is for food
[00:05:16] security for the most part, and I think being able to
[00:05:20] support vulnerable household with food security is really quite
[00:05:23] important, programs like Bisp are already doing great, in fact of
[00:05:27] all the development funding that appears to
[00:05:30] be downsizing in the federal
[00:05:33] budgets, social protection instrument like bis are
[00:05:37] actually growing, and I think that's important and there always needs
[00:05:41] to be fiscal space. for that as
[00:05:43] well uh and I think like I said the early warning part
[00:05:47] is really quite important, all I would say about early warning is
[00:05:51] how quickly one can actually move from warning warning
[00:05:54] to analysis to response, and I think
[00:05:58] these days there is technology that actually enables countries like
[00:06:02] Pakistan to do so. All right, my next question concerns the
[00:06:06] borrowing rates, now the UNDP puts borrowing rates for
[00:06:10] countries with weaker credit ratings at. around 9%. debt
[00:06:14] justice reports that average cuts of 8% in education and 2% in overall
[00:06:18] public spending in countries facing serious debt trouble. how can
[00:06:21] governments protect schools, the healthcare system, household support while meeting the debt
[00:06:25] payments? the debt justice also wants burden some debts cancelled
[00:06:29] including those that are to banks, hedge funds and oil traders and
[00:06:33] changes to the G20's debt reconstructuring system a
[00:06:36] restructuring system. now UNDP wants that negotiations could take
[00:06:40] months, should lenders offer immediate. was in repayments as during
[00:06:44] COVID, alongside cheaper emergency finance, while longer term relief is
[00:06:47] negotiated, your take,
[00:06:51] so so I know I've been saunding like lot of bad news and doom and gloom
[00:06:55] scenarios, but there in there is one positive thing that has happened over the
[00:06:58] last couple of years, which is macroeconomic stabilization that has
[00:07:02] actually moved Pakistan up in the credit ratings, which means Pakistan can
[00:07:06] borrow at better rates, Pakistan can issue
[00:07:10] bonds that are acceptable in global market. and that
[00:07:13] means that you know the first big step towards towards
[00:07:17] increasing the the pi which is growth
[00:07:21] is really taking place and hopefully that reaches the next
[00:07:25] step which is supporting human development and
[00:07:29] human development indicators as well, so that's the first
[00:07:33] positive thing, the second positive thing is that Pakistan has an
[00:07:36] experience of of death swaps, for
[00:07:40] example, that is just one instrument many different instruments
[00:07:44] that are likely being discussed. deb swaps have worked here debt for
[00:07:47] development projects, debt for climate over the last one or
[00:07:51] two decades with Germany, with Canada and many others, and I think that's
[00:07:55] important, an important avenue that
[00:07:59] is made more positive by the
[00:08:02] macroeconomic stabilization that many lenders can actually see and
[00:08:06] say, okay, our debt, we can actually swap for
[00:08:09] development indicators, so of all the doom. gloom, I think these
[00:08:13] are two things that are important to note as well, maybe just
[00:08:17] lastly, last year, the big finance for development
[00:08:20] conference
[00:08:21] in in Sevilla and Spain, the fourth conference, all these,
[00:08:25] all these discussions actually took place around what is the optimum
[00:08:29] balance between in development
[00:08:32] finance, between what can be grant money, what can
[00:08:36] be private sector and private investment money, what is a
[00:08:40] good pipeline that can act be put forward that
[00:08:43] investors can now see because the confidence a country and
[00:08:47] therefore can attract local and international investors, and
[00:08:51] then of course how can you move up in credit ratings like Pakistan
[00:08:55] has done for the last couple of years because of macroeconomic
[00:08:58] stabilization? all right, but very quickly, very quickly,
[00:09:02] can burden some debts be cancelled, can there be immediate
[00:09:06] pause in repayments, can there be cheaper emergency finance, yes or
[00:09:10] no? Yeah, so there are, there is
[00:09:14] precedent for that, obviously, there was some relief around COVID time, but you
[00:09:18] know all the discussions around that are really in the
[00:09:20] hands, are a sovereign decision, so to
[00:09:24] speak. I think what we are saying in in UNDP is that there's
[00:09:28] no particular issue with with debt as long as you can repay,
[00:09:32] and as long as it is actually blended well with other
[00:09:36] instruments, and as long as it doesn't become burdensome on
[00:09:40] countries that already have ' fiscal
[00:09:43] issues, I think that is the summation of what we see in the discussions
[00:09:47] that probably UNDP administrator and IMF heads and
[00:09:51] others will actually do uh this week and hopefully those yield
[00:09:54] positive benefits for Pakistan. All right, speaking of that very, very
[00:09:58] quick answer, UNDP administrator, your boss
[00:10:02] Alexander de Crew supports the IMF Chief Crystallina Jojieva's
[00:10:06] call for spending restraint in richer countries, but also wants
[00:10:09] coordinated help for developing nations. What must Bangkok meetings
[00:10:13] now deliver and how can Pakistan build lasting resilience if I could
[00:10:17] have very short answer to that. Very short
[00:10:21] answer is the Bangkok, I would say the Bangkok meetings need to deliver.
[00:10:26] "first of all, a way for immediate relief to all
[00:10:29] countries, Pakistan included, that are heavily
[00:10:33] impacted by the crisis in the Middle East, and
[00:10:37] I think one of those will be energy, one of those will have to be, or another
[00:10:41] one will have to be about food security, and I really hope
[00:10:45] that we start to see a perspective
[00:10:49] on the need to
[00:10:51] stop the the the origin." the
[00:10:55] crisis, which is the political crisis, to actually start
[00:10:58] normalizing everything else in the economic and development
[00:11:02] space. I think if there
[00:11:03] is enough political pressure from the economists to
[00:11:07] actually stop the cause the war that is actually overburdening
[00:11:10] everyone, the most vulnerable included, that will be the best
[00:11:14] relief that's possible for for Pakistan and everyone
[00:11:18] else. Thank you very much Dr. Samuel Risk, president representative of
[00:11:22] UNDP, Pakistan, to have joined us and to have given us.
[00:11:25] exclusive attet in order to further understand
[00:11:28] what all of this means for development programs and of course how important is the meeting that
[00:11:32] is happening is bangkok and we speak. thank you very much Samuel to have joined
[00:11:35] us. let's now take you to south
[00:11:38] asia.
[00:11:43] pakistan's patience must never be mistaken for weakness. our soldiers, our
[00:11:47] police, our citizens have paid a terrible price for terrorism. as security forces
[00:11:51] strike terrorist networks, Islamabad is deminding action against their afghans.
[00:11:55] sanctuaries, Pakistan wants peace, but protecting Pakistani lives
[00:11:58] is non-negotiable. Kabul must deliver action, not just
[00:12:02] promises. To discuss that in more detail, we have been joined by air
[00:12:06] commodo retired Khalid Chishti sab, who is of course a leading defense
[00:12:10] analyst. Khalid sab, thank you very much to have joined us. From Banu to North
[00:12:13] Waziristan, security forces are eliminating terrorist terrorists and dismantling
[00:12:17] hidouts under Azmir. After the deadly attacks in Kuhat and Dera
[00:12:21] Ismail Khan, how can these operations break entire networks include? their
[00:12:25] commanders, weapons, supplies and local facilitators our minister for
[00:12:29] information says Afghanistan hosts over
[00:12:33] 600 TTP terrorists with Afghan soil used for recruitment, training and
[00:12:36] attacks. What concrete action must kabul take to dismantle these
[00:12:40] sanctuaries rather than simply move terrorists deeper into
[00:12:43] Afghanistan? Thank you very much
[00:12:47] uh for the kind invitation, it's always a player to be part of
[00:12:51] your show, absolutely a concerning matter that you brought in.
[00:12:55] "this is a country which has fought terrorism for decades now
[00:12:59] and I think enemy still probably not
[00:13:03] checked our threshold, we have shown lot of patience and
[00:13:06] perseverance, but obviously as I keep saying that obviously so many
[00:13:10] casualities and so many sacrifices Pakistan has given, we run
[00:13:14] out options because we have to retaliate, but unfortunate part
[00:13:18] these kind of conflict says that they do not have clear cut
[00:13:21] dimensions, a confined borders, no time.
[00:13:25] no methodology the weapons used and of no timings of course which
[00:13:29] time do they carry out these attacks? a formal war or a conflict
[00:13:33] like what we had against India was obviously had some parameters,
[00:13:37] although Indians obviously attack past midnight as a surprise, but from
[00:13:41] then on obviously the response was brutal, timely and very
[00:13:44] effective, but when it came to the cease fire obviously we all went back
[00:13:48] to the airbases or these units and stations and the coast
[00:13:52] lines, but unfortunately these terrorism... do not have
[00:13:55] confined borders, you have to have continuous, not only
[00:13:58] vigilance, updation the data and ready
[00:14:02] response. most challenging has been
[00:14:06] the area that Pakistan has had such wonderful ties with, especially the
[00:14:10] people of Afghanistan, that has been probably the most hold bar
[00:14:14] for all of us that we do not want escalate to level where the
[00:14:18] common people are effective, but if we do not do that, the enemies
[00:14:22] misunderstand that we probably do not have the... or
[00:14:25] resolve or the capability, that has to be obviously checked right
[00:14:29] there and
[00:14:30] that if the believe that we do not have the capability, we definitely have the capability, but
[00:14:34] the mers have been very very calculated, and as I said such conflicts
[00:14:38] do not have cleared parameters, the enemy exploits and the
[00:14:41] people especially who fund these terrorists, they exploit
[00:14:45] this dynamic that the confined borders are not, their timings are not
[00:14:49] there, types of weapons are not there, so they use it to the offensive, they keep changing the
[00:14:53] places, they keep changing. and obviously the keep
[00:14:56] changing the obviously the timings as I said, so it is a
[00:15:00] continuous ongoing campaign which cannot have borders
[00:15:04] because the asymmetry nature the warfare. All right,
[00:15:08] reports also Khalid sah prepared by the Khair Pakhtunkhah police and intelligence
[00:15:12] agencies show a 195% rise in terrorist incidents with
[00:15:16] police and security personnel targeted in most these attacks. With
[00:15:20] terrorists increasingly using drones and roadside bombs, what urgent
[00:15:23] improvements do you feel are needed? in police training, in CDD equipment, in
[00:15:27] intelligence coordination, and who must answer for the gaps in
[00:15:30] preparedness? Absolutely, no nation can fight
[00:15:34] any war, what to talk of terrorism, and I said and you also pointed. doubt that
[00:15:38] we need to have the nation behind the armed forces, paramilitary forces, law
[00:15:41] enforcement agencies, definitely cannot, no armed force
[00:15:45] in the world can fight unless the people are behind them, number one, that's a must and
[00:15:49] that's a non-negotiable obviously option, that number two
[00:15:53] is, it's what you you observe it very rightly, now they've
[00:15:56] started to target police and paramilitary forces, that obviously
[00:16:00] supports my answer to the first question and i said they keep changing the tactics
[00:16:04] because when the armed forces particularly the army was very highly
[00:16:08] vigilant, they protect themselves, they go to the civilians, when we start to come down
[00:16:12] to protecting civilians, they start to attack the paramilitary and especially the
[00:16:15] police, so the police is not supposed to be so much
[00:16:19] protected or trained to fight against these asymmetric warfare
[00:16:23] gorillas and terrorists, so obviously they become relatively easy
[00:16:27] target, and the the challenging thing is that police centers
[00:16:31] are all the time located inside the civil proximity, they
[00:16:35] have to protect the civilian lives, so they do not have. stand alone units
[00:16:38] elsewhere where they can have a fortress or a compound which can
[00:16:42] be protected like armed forces or military and especially the army does. in
[00:16:46] police case they are located inside the cities so it's very difficult to
[00:16:49] filter out which obviously van or vehicle is the terrorist
[00:16:53] vehicle and which is a common innocent civilian coming in so it's more challenging
[00:16:57] so i think we have to train the police men and the women
[00:17:01] obviously accordingly that they have to be more vigilant and i think
[00:17:05] more of intelligence input. will be more effective and one more
[00:17:09] solution that I keep offering every time that I am coming on the television, I
[00:17:12] said we have to have neighborhood watch, there is no police in the
[00:17:16] world which can fight unless the people support, they have a lookout, they
[00:17:20] identify suspicious movements or people or the
[00:17:24] symptoms, they have to report and look out for the people who
[00:17:27] manipulate or conspire these things, if you leave everything
[00:17:31] to police or the army or the paramilitary forces, it's extremely
[00:17:35] challenging not only for Pakistan, but global, so I think we need to
[00:17:39] have that what I am calling neighborhood watch, that means I must look out
[00:17:43] for my neighbors, who is living there, who's sponsoring them, what is their way of
[00:17:47] earning, is this the family or some obviously a group of people
[00:17:50] living there, so I think it's mutual lookout which will
[00:17:54] enable and help arm forces to perform their duties much
[00:17:57] effectively. All right, Khalid saab,
[00:18:00] the apex committee meeting that was held today pledges stronger
[00:18:04] operations, better equipment and more personnel alongside education. health
[00:18:08] care and development, how can authorities turn these commitments into
[00:18:11] protecting people, into protection that people need to
[00:18:15] feel while ensuring that the patriotic communities of KP
[00:18:19] help shape the response? this is
[00:18:23] generally a long term process, you will agree with me that you cannot just
[00:18:27] switch it on and off that okay, they are trained, they are well equiped, they are well aware, that's
[00:18:31] number one, it's a long-term process, we need to build the capabilities
[00:18:35] because the enemy is changing the practice,
[00:18:37] like i said to the answer to the first question that they keep changing the tactics, sometimes they
[00:18:41] come after the civilian, the innocent people, sometime after the schools, sometime against the
[00:18:45] military units and sometime against the police, so they change the
[00:18:48] tactics, so I think we need to enable police not only to guard
[00:18:52] themselves, but have more sophisticated communication network where
[00:18:56] they can report matters, they can take actions and they are better
[00:18:59] equiped and trained to take on timely response obviously, that's that's the most
[00:19:03] important thing and obviously as I said the people have to be behind the forces. That's the
[00:19:07] most important thing, but as I said the apex committee can come out with
[00:19:11] the resolve or a directive, but it just doesn't happen next morning, you
[00:19:15] have to enable them, obviously over the period of time, they have been an element of
[00:19:19] mis governance, there have been the money has not filtered down
[00:19:23] to the real people or the people who really
[00:19:26] matter, so that has to be ensured, so I think it will take a
[00:19:29] while before we actually start to see the manifestation these
[00:19:33] decision, but as I said it's an ongoing thing, it's not not time.
[00:19:37] and it's not location b. i understand perfectly. our
[00:19:41] deputy prime minister and foreign ministerak demands concrete
[00:19:45] verificable and irreversible action against terrorist groups and has raised
[00:19:48] allegations of Indian sponsorship. now after repeated diplomatic
[00:19:52] engagement including the pakistan, china, afghanistan talks, what
[00:19:55] pressure and international cooperation can secure compliance,
[00:19:59] cut terrorist financing and expose any external
[00:20:02] backing? i think this is the most effective
[00:20:06] and that's the most. most prompt methodology that we can follow if the other
[00:20:10] countries choose to support us. Unfortunate part has been that many the
[00:20:14] countries which are relevant and they can play their role, either they
[00:20:18] look the other side or they look at their national interest first and
[00:20:22] look at the priority what Pakistan is contributing in the global peace
[00:20:26] that look they look
[00:20:27] it at later. Pakistan has been one the leading peace maker
[00:20:30] globally which has been established recognized by any saying
[00:20:33] mind. See what would contributed our military and political leader. ship has
[00:20:37] done for Iran and America award for last about eight
[00:20:41] months hactic efforts have gone into obviously
[00:20:45] bridge the gap between what American wants and what the Iranians want so we've earned the
[00:20:49] credibility. and obviously that suns, but doesn't go well
[00:20:52] with the enemies of Pakistan, so they want to create the trust deficit within the
[00:20:56] country and outside, so I think the more effective
[00:21:00] diplomatic campaign making these world power,
[00:21:03] especially China, Russia and America, they have their own speciality,
[00:21:07] we all know that China has the economic leverage over Afghan
[00:21:11] people, it's building road network, it had offered that we will,
[00:21:14] China is ready to build up a train network and connect Afghanistan, that
[00:21:18] obviously is a big respite. and breathing especially especially Pakistan
[00:21:22] border is closed these days so China can kind of
[00:21:25] get leverage at the cost of something as dividend can ask
[00:21:29] taliban to avoid terrorism especially against Pakistan number one number two
[00:21:33] Russia is the only country which has recognized Afghan government although they've done it for
[00:21:37] their national interest because they busy in Ukraine war so they do not want escalate
[00:21:41] any other border so it's in their national interest but it has lot of leverage
[00:21:44] because that's the only country which is recognizing them and US of course we all
[00:21:48] know that it had long negotiation doha agreement in
[00:21:52] which these Talibans promised that it will be new Afghanistan. when Americans
[00:21:56] leave, they left 7.2 billions of weapons and ammunitions obviously
[00:22:00] with the trust and the understanding. so if the Taliban
[00:22:03] are not responding respecting the binding and the obligation the
[00:22:07] agreement between the America
[00:22:09] and Taliban, who else could make sure that
[00:22:11] they abide by? so that's what I'm saying three countries, the super powers or the major
[00:22:15] powers globally and regionally, they have huge influence on
[00:22:19] Taliban so... think they can play a very comprehensive role in
[00:22:22] obviously helping us to get rid of this mass. all right, thank you so
[00:22:26] very much Khalid to have joined us and to have discussed this very important issue of
[00:22:30] terrorism that of course continues to rear its
[00:22:34] ugly head from the Afghan soil of course including Indian patronage as we
[00:22:37] all discussed so many times and let's hope solution comes
[00:22:41] solution that both short term and long term as well again
[00:22:45] a big thanks to you. this brings us to the end of today's beyond borders we have three
[00:22:49] more days to go. lots to discuss, there are so many issues that
