[00:07:58] And to the people who live here, I want to tell them that this center was built
[00:08:02] for your convenience and it has started working from today itself.
[00:08:06] The Foreign Office has said
[00:08:14] the implementation of the framework will move forward
[00:08:18] and technical level talks will be able to resume. Briefing in Islamabad,
[00:08:22] Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said that Oman has played a
[00:08:25] positive and commendable role in the matter. He said that
[00:08:29] the statements of the Indian Ministry of External Affairs on the elections of Azad Jammu and Kashmir
[00:08:33] are rejected as India has no legal or moral justification
[00:08:37] to comment on this process. India is spreading misinformation
[00:08:40] regarding deaths in this matter.
[00:09:42] and is taking all possible steps
[00:10:01] exhibition has started at the Expo Center in Lahore, the purpose of which is
[00:10:05] to promote construction activities in the country.
[00:10:09] Rana Iftikhar Ahmed will give details.
[00:10:13] It is playing its full role in promoting investment and business
[00:10:16] activities in the country. In this regard, for the first time in Punjab,
[00:10:19] the 20th Build Asia three-day exhibition was organized at the Expo Center in Lahore,
[00:10:23] in which construction machinery, building materials, steel,
[00:10:27] marble, chemicals, electrical and
[00:10:30] mechanicals, fiber, bricks,
[00:10:33] sanitary and other construction sector companies, more than 100 local
[00:10:36] and international companies have set up their stalls. There is a shortage of
[00:10:40] 12 million houses in Pakistan and every year the shortage of
[00:10:44] 700,000 houses is increasing here. So there is a lot of demand for
[00:10:47] housing and when this industry grows, it is such an industry that in the construction
[00:10:51] industry, 72
[00:11:02] This indicates that the work of development and high-rise construction is increasing
[00:11:06] in Punjab. Builders, contractors, engineers
[00:11:09] and citizens coming to the exhibition say that
[00:11:12] products of construction and other related sectors are being seen
[00:11:16] under one roof, which is also providing awareness
[00:11:20] about the innovations and new trends coming in the construction sector.
[00:11:24] ہے۔
[00:11:55] We will know which products are being manufactured in our country. Now I have come here
[00:11:58] as a civil engineer and I am visiting, so there were many
[00:12:02] things that I didn't know. Now I am seeing them. The three-day 20th Build
[00:12:06] Asia exhibition will continue till August 8. The development of the construction sector
[00:12:10] not only promotes business activities in the country but also creates
[00:12:14] new employment opportunities. Rana Iftikhar Ahmed, Pakistan Tele

[00:15:40] That's all for PTV News for now. For more news and updates, stay with us.
[00:17:21] In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Assalam-o-Alaikum, I am Muhammad Imran and you are watching Pakistan Tele
[00:17:25] Vision News program 'Jaeza'. In today's program, Prime Minister Mian Muhammad
[00:17:29] Shahbaz Sharif has departed for his visit to Saudi Arabia. A short while ago, he left
[00:17:33] for his visit to Saudi Arabia. On the invitation of the Saudi Crown Prince, Prime Minister
[00:17:36] Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif has gone to Saudi Arabia. It is a very important visit. Foreign
[00:17:40] Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar, Field Marshal Hafiz Syed Asim Munir and federal
[00:17:44] ministers are also accompanying the Prime Minister. Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif
[00:17:47] will meet Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman. Meanwhile,
[00:17:51] today Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif also met with the Chinese ambassador. In the meeting,
[00:17:55] the commitment to further strengthen strategic cooperation and long-standing
[00:17:59] partnership was reiterated. And today our third story will be
[00:18:02] about the current situation between America and Iran and Pakistan's diplomatic
[00:18:06] role. For discussion on these topics, let me introduce you to the guests
[00:18:09] present in the studio. Senior journalist and analyst Salman Ghani Sahib is with us.
[00:18:13] Thank you very much, Salman Sahib, for giving your time. Senior journalist and analyst
[00:18:17] Jabbar Sahib is with us. Thank you very much, Jabbar Sahib, for giving your time.
[00:18:21] Senior journalist and analyst Ulfat Mughal Sahib is with us.
[00:18:24] Thank you very much, Ulfat Sahib. Sir,
[00:18:27] in the current scenario, it is a very important visit of Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif
[00:18:31] Sahib, and on the invitation of the Saudi Crown Prince, he has gone to Saudi Arabia.
[00:18:35] Field Marshal Sahib is also with him.
[00:18:54] He will not meet them, he went there on their request. This visit
[00:18:58] is happening at their request because
[00:19:01] I have never seen this before that the Saudi cabinet
[00:19:04] made a decision yesterday and they declared
[00:19:08] negotiations indispensable on the ongoing
[00:19:11] war between America and Iran. This means that Saudi
[00:19:15] Arabia is also interested, and Pakistan is playing the main role in this.
[00:19:19] What is the situation? At this moment, both America and Iran
[00:19:22] are avoiding confrontation. They have given signals.
[00:19:26] President Trump, as usual,
[00:19:30] is seen making threats, but his matter is bad
[00:19:33] because his long-range missiles
[00:19:44] The process of ceasefire between America and Iran,
[00:19:48] in which Pakistan played a major role, was the reconciliation draft
[00:19:52] that was agreed upon. The reconciliation process
[00:19:56] is important for its restoration, and Saudi Arabia's role in this is very
[00:19:59] important. You may recall that two days ago, when America gave
[00:20:03] the final threat to Iran,
[00:20:07] the war was stopped by Mohammed bin Salman.
[00:20:10] He
[00:20:12] told America
[00:20:15] it is very important, and what I see in it is that
[00:20:19] the reconciliation process is being restored, and
[00:20:22] the agreement that was reached, the things that were decided
[00:20:26] in Islamabad, if they move forward in that direction, then certainly
[00:20:30] Pakistan will have a major role and there will be a political solution
[00:20:33] to the matters between America and Iran.
[00:20:50] have not been taken into confidence, and that is why Pakistan
[00:20:53] has always, I always say that
[00:20:57] where there is extreme mistrust between America and Iran,
[00:21:00] there both sides express confidence in Pakistan.
[00:21:04] So Pakistan has established contacts. Pakistani Prime
[00:21:08] Minister and Field Marshal Asim Munir Sahib had bilateral contacts.
[00:21:11] Now, in the meeting with Muhammad bin Salman Sahib,
[00:21:15] Pakistan has to inform about its contacts
[00:21:18] and the Gulf.
[00:21:58] If there is a clash and tension, the biggest
[00:22:01] loss is to Iran, and Iran wants to keep
[00:22:05] Hormuz open because its economic interests
[00:22:09] are with the Gulf. I believe that this visit
[00:22:12] is important for the restoration of the reconciliation process, and in the context of Pakistan,
[00:22:16] let me tell you one more thing: Saudi Arabia
[00:22:24] is going to give you a big relief in petroleum
[00:22:28] because if Saudi Arabia gives relief to Pakistan
[00:22:31] in the existing petroleum crisis, it will be a very big
[00:22:35] relief. In fact, let me tell you that when Pakistan conducted
[00:22:38] atomic tests, when the whole
[00:22:41] world abandoned Pakistan, King Abdullah continued the supply
[00:22:45] of petroleum to Pakistan. Exactly. That's a very important point.
[00:22:49] Because today, earlier, the meeting of Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shahbaz
[00:22:52] Sharif Sahib with the Chinese ambassador was also very important. The commitment to further strengthen
[00:22:56] strategic cooperation and long-standing partnership was reiterated. And now
[00:23:00] that Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif Sahib
[00:23:04] is visiting Saudi Arabia, it is very important, and he rightly said that
[00:23:08] in the tense situation between Iran and America,
[00:23:10] Pakistan has a very important role and Pakistan has achieved great
[00:23:14] achievements diplomatically. Jabbar Chaudhry Sahib, how do you see
[00:23:20] Salman Sahib has explained it in great detail that this is a way to advance
[00:23:23] the peace process or to do more. I would like to discuss
[00:23:27] it from another dimension. Look, the recent conflict
[00:23:31] has changed the order of defense
[00:23:36] You can see that there are holes in the defense
[00:23:39] umbrella of the GCC countries. Now, this visit
[00:23:43] is important because nothing remains static. If the Strait
[00:23:47] of Hormuz issue remains unresolved,
[00:23:50] and in the middle, the Red Sea issue
[00:23:54] of Bab-el-Mandeb is also not good.
[00:23:57] So if all this remains, then every country
[00:24:01] looks at things from a security perspective for its energy
[00:24:04] security, for business, for sea routes,
[00:24:08] and alternative things come up because nothing
[00:24:12] stays in one place.
[00:24:15] اور متبادل چیزیں جاتی ہیں کیونکہ کوئی چیز جو ہے وہ ایک جگہ پہ
[00:24:50] countries are looking towards Pakistan for their security
[00:24:53] and defense, and they are changing
[00:24:57] their security narrative. Yes, the second, more important event
[00:25:00] is the maritime alliance formed
[00:25:03] under the leadership of Saudi Arabia, in which Pakistan is also included,
[00:25:07] and whose purpose is to protect
[00:25:11] and its security. This visit,
[00:25:14] I think, will further strengthen
[00:25:18] Pakistan's lead, Pakistan's sovereignty
[00:25:22] in all the security and defense matters of the GCC.
[00:25:25] Look, this matter of Iran and America,
[00:25:29] whether it is resolved today or not, or if it goes on,
[00:25:32] but along with that, the whole Gulf cannot remain bound by it.
[00:25:36] That's a straight talk. So their economy is suffering
[00:25:40] greatly. Now we have various
[00:25:43] alternatives. What is the alternative to the state of affairs?
[00:25:47] How things are going to be.
[00:26:02] I think if we look at this visit from this perspective
[00:26:05] that we are moving towards a new security protocol
[00:26:09] for the entire GCC, which Pakistan will lead, and
[00:26:13] since Pakistan has been tested, and the GCC countries have also tested
[00:26:16] it. Their previous defense
[00:26:20] matters did not prove to be very strong. We have seen
[00:26:24] holes with our own eyes, but Pakistan's trial
[00:26:28] in the battle of truth has been seen by the whole world that Pakistan
[00:26:33] has passed its trial. Now if anyone is to provide security
[00:26:37] or guarantee in the future, it is Pakistan.
[00:26:41] Now, one benefit of this for Pakistan, Omar Sahib, is that wherever
[00:26:45] American bases go from here, and GCC countries change
[00:26:48] their defense narrative and bring in Pakistan, then it will also be acceptable to Iran,
[00:26:52] and a longer peace will be established in this region,
[00:26:55] and Iran will also be a part of it. This is a very important point
[00:26:59] you are making, but Salman Ghani Sahib, I want to say that what he said,
[00:27:03] look, the thing is that when we talk about the battle of truth, the entire
[00:27:06] scenario in the world has changed. Before this, there used to be talk of aggression,
[00:27:10] talk of imposing wars. From there, look, the incident
[00:27:13] of May 10, 2025, has made Pakistan invincible
[00:27:17] in the eyes of the whole world, but the process of dialogue is moving forward, and I believe that
[00:27:21] Pakistan's diplomatic and mediating role has made it clear to the world
[00:27:25] that this century is not a century of war and conflict. Whatever matters
[00:27:28] have to be settled, they will be settled through dialogue. But we are still with Ulfat Mughal Sahib.
[00:28:03] And Alhamdulillah, as a Pakistani, I should be proud of this
[00:28:06] that Pakistan has the position at this time that all the Gulf
[00:28:10] countries are looking to Pakistan for their security issues
[00:28:13] and for their negotiations. And so far, if any of our allies,
[00:28:17] who are going to be our allies, have faced any problem, then things
[00:28:20] have been settled on just one statement from us. So it's a very big deal that
[00:28:24] at this time, almost 80 to 90% of the security matters
[00:28:27] of the Middle East are going to come to Pakistan
[00:28:31] or Pakistan
[00:28:57] The foreign ministers of Iran and Saudi Arabia have been in continuous contact,
[00:29:01] so this is a good thing. If these things settle down
[00:29:04] and the Muslim Ummah comes together on one platform,
[00:29:08] then certainly if the Middle East settles down, then the entire region
[00:29:14] will achieve stability economically. And if, God forbid, we have seen that if
[00:29:17] the Strait of Hormuz is disturbed, then the whole world is disturbed,
[00:29:21] and if this matter is settled between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia,
[00:29:25] and Iran, or if Pakistan, Iran, and America
[00:29:28] succeed to a great extent in resolving the matters, and so far,
[00:29:32] all the ongoing discussions have moved forward
[00:29:35] from the basic first negotiation that took place in Islamabad,
[00:29:39] and even now, the debate is ongoing on that. A very big
[00:29:43] positive development is about to happen between Oman and Iran,
[00:29:46] and very good news is also coming regarding that. So Pakistan
[00:29:50] has always played a key role,
[00:29:53] and from the beginning of this war until now, Pakistan has played
[00:29:57] a relevant role everywhere. Pakistan has not been disappointed anywhere.
[00:30:00] Pakistan's leadership has not tired or lost anywhere, but has always
[00:30:04] lit a new lamp of hope, peace,
[00:30:08] and that, Inshallah, there will be peace in the Middle East,
[00:30:11] and Pakistan will play the most important role in it. Salman Ghani Sahib,
[00:30:15] let's talk about this because this is a very important visit in terms of the current situation,
[00:30:19] and as you said, the timing is very important. And if we look
[00:30:23] at this visit, we have decades-long fraternal relations,
[00:30:26] and the meeting of Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif Sahib with the Saudi Crown Prince
[00:30:30] will be very important. Look, Muhammad, where Ulfat
[00:30:34] Sahib ended his point, if you look at this entire region,
[00:30:38] before this, we should accept this that India
[00:30:42] had created a situation on the international front
[00:30:45] against Pakistan. Pakistan was being bracketed
[00:30:49] with terrorism. So the incident
[00:30:52] that happened on April 22 in Pahalgam,
[00:30:56] good has come out of that evil for Pakistan.
