[00:00:16] Let's talk about it, because this is a very important visit in the current situation, and as you said, the [00:00:20] timing is very important and significant, and if we look at this visit, [00:00:23] we have decades of strong [00:00:27] as well as a number of brotherly relations, and the meeting of Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif with the Saudi Crown Prince will be very important. Look, [00:00:31] Muhammad, where Mr. Ulfat just [00:00:34] finished his point. If you look at this entire region, [00:00:38] we must admit that [00:00:42] delivered a message to the Prime Minister from India had created a situation on the global front [00:00:45] against Pakistan. Pakistan was being bracketed with [00:00:48] terrorism. So, this [00:00:52] No amount of praise is enough incident that happened on April 22nd in Pahalgam, [00:00:56] out of this evil, good has emerged for Pakistan. [00:01:28] the people there thank How much will they stand with us [00:01:32] and where? You mentioned Saudi Arabia, and we have a history [00:01:36] of relations with Saudi Arabia. We don't have [00:01:39] a new defense agreement; we already have a defense agreement in place, and [00:01:43] the 26 crore people of Pakistan have a strong emotional [00:01:46] attachment to that land. We go there and bow our heads, [00:01:50] and we receive a lot, and even now, when Muhammad bin Salman [00:01:54] साहब, look, I told you, you will get good news regarding petroleum because [00:01:57] they have stood with Pakistan in every difficult time, [00:02:01] and I gave you the example of King Abdullah. I know personally that [00:02:05] at that time, when Pakistan's then-Prime Minister, [00:02:08] he deserves great credit, how much pressure he was under, [00:02:12] and I know what offers Clinton was making, offering five billion [00:02:16] dollars, but he solved a problem by bringing Pakistan to the point [00:02:20] of self-sufficiency in defense. Pakistan became a [00:02:23] nuclear power, and [00:02:26] I will definitely say, the बात is very bitter, even then, King Abdullah, despite America's warnings to Pakistan, [00:03:30] that when he was going for a visit to Saudi Arabia, this meeting took place before that. [00:03:33] That letter is in its place, but as I said about Saudi Arabia, [00:03:37] look, when Pakistan faced a difficult time, which three countries stood with it? China [00:03:41] stood with it. I always say, look, in terms of foreign policy, [00:03:45] they don't issue detailed statements. I remember even [00:03:48] then, on the night of May 9th, when there was a difficult situation, [00:03:52] a one-line statement came from the Chinese spokesperson [00:03:55] that we are with Pakistan's safety and security. [00:04:26] respected [00:04:30] Absolutely, it is very important, especially when the Prime Minister of Pakistan [00:04:33] and Field Marshal are visiting Saudi Arabia. Meeting at this time [00:04:37] is very significant, because you know that this peace [00:04:41] process that started was also during the meeting [00:04:45] between Pakistan and China. When Ishaq Dar Sahib went, a five-point agenda was issued [00:04:49] from there, you must remember, which laid the foundation for this whole [00:04:52] Islamabad agreement at that time, in which it was said [00:04:56] that this issue should be resolved, and China, as [00:04:59] you know, has always supported our mediation [00:05:03] process and negotiations. In this, China has always [00:05:07] taken Pakistan into confidence, whether we have to go there [00:05:10] and talk ourselves or through the ambassador. So, this is our continuous [00:05:14] trust in them. What is happening, all the details have been in their [00:05:18] knowledge. Right now, the matter, which is obviously [00:05:21] a different kind of canvas, you could say, [00:05:25] is appearing before our security at this moment, [00:05:28] and then to resolve this conflict, for that, as Salman Sahib also said, China [00:05:32] has a very big stake, because China has trade [00:05:36] relations with Iran. Their oil transactions are involved, so [00:05:40] China's biggest wish is that [00:05:42] this matter should be resolved, that this situation should [00:05:46] normalize here, the whole matter should have a ceasefire. So, China [00:05:50] is making its efforts through diplomacy, through messages, [00:05:53] and through all of Pakistan's [00:05:56] actions, it has the full support of China, [00:06:00] and we also keep them informed about the matter all the time, [00:06:03] and at this important moment, the meeting, [00:06:07] the Chinese President's letter is also a formal [00:06:10] matter, but the real thing [00:09:12] is that at that time, when Shahbaz Sharif Sahib, it was the era of the founder of PTI, but even then, [00:09:16] because when it was the era of the founder of PTI, he [00:09:20] spoiled relations with friendly countries. I remember we were together in reporting, [00:09:23] so even then, Shahbaz Sharif Sahib valued friendship with China, [00:09:27] he didn't talk about spoiling relations. He used to go to China's consulate general [00:09:31] and meet, and I even received a letter, meaning [00:09:35] that China has always [00:09:38] Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif, and Shahbaz Sharif Sahib [00:09:42] has always prioritized Pakistan over his own politics. [00:09:46] There is no doubt that the foundation of Pak-China friendship [00:09:50] was laid by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. But Mian Muhammad Nawaz [00:09:53] Sharif and Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif have taken this friendship [00:09:57] to a level where today we proudly stand [00:10:00] together in good times and difficult times, and [00:10:04] China is the only country in the world, or it is counted [00:10:08] among those countries, that prioritizes trade [00:10:12] and its [00:10:55] that those paths will open that we probably can't even [00:10:58] imagine yet. And secondly, I think at this time, [00:11:02] the entire Gulf, all the countries of the world, [00:11:05] their heads of state, those who have even [00:11:08] slight economic interests, whether it's a trader, whether it's a shopkeeper, or anyone, [00:11:12] they are currently looking towards Pakistan, and they are looking towards the Prime Minister [00:11:16] of Pakistan, Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif, and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir. So, these are two personalities [00:11:20] who are working for the nations of the world, who are working for their peace. So, Nobel [00:11:24] Prize Muhammad, [00:11:46] he says that people all over the world, whether they are in Germany, whether they are [00:11:50] in America, in Europe, [00:11:53] Pakistan [00:12:25] play a role, and here we have such a leadership [00:12:28] that told the IMF to stop Pakistan's loan. They told overseas [00:12:32] Pakistanis that [00:12:35] but you can see the patriotism of those overseas Pakistanis [00:12:39] that the one who appealed to them not to send any dollars to Pakistan, [00:12:42] more dollars came. So, it means that the overseas [00:12:46] Pakistanis, their hearts beat with Pakistan, and one thing [00:12:51] that when we talk about the global stage, [00:12:55] our drum is beating. We need to put our house in order. If [00:12:58] we put our house in order, then Pakistan is rich in natural resources. [00:13:02] Pakistan is not a nation, it is a very sensible nation. And the most important thing is that [00:13:05] 60% of Pakistan's youth is very intelligent. They [00:13:09] have a passion. In terms of Pakistan, we can bring [00:13:13] this spirit of Pakistanism to fruition and make Pakistan [00:13:17] the Pakistan of Allama Iqbal and Quaid-e-Azam, and [00:13:21] that Pakistan was to be strong economically, socially, politically. [00:13:25] I think the things that are visible and the visit you are talking about, [00:13:28] Pakistan has played a big role, a small country in this region, [00:13:32] but it has played a big role and given this message to the world that now [00:13:36] matters will not proceed through war and conflict. If there is [00:13:40] energy in your case, look, I always give one example that [00:13:43] any Prime Minister of Pakistan, in his first speech, says that we will maintain [00:13:47] good relations with neighboring countries, we want to talk to India. Why [00:13:51] doesn't India talk? Because their leadership is extremist. [00:14:25] This dream will never become a reality again. Right now, in the Iran-America [00:14:28] situation, we are seeing Pakistan's excellent diplomatic [00:14:32] role. President Donald Trump has said that negotiations with Iran are ongoing, and I will prioritize [00:14:36] an agreement. Even now, I pity Mr. Trump. [00:14:40] The world's biggest superpower, and now where have they come? [00:14:44] When he was talking about this, we used to see when we were young [00:14:47] that two wrestlers fight, and there comes a time when they get tired. [00:14:51] They are tired, and America, I believe, [00:14:55] by imposing war on Iran at Israel's behest, has brought America to [00:14:58] a defensive front. Sir, your [00:15:01] comment, look, this is a good thing that at least now [00:15:05] both have realized that there should be an agreement and they should move forward. [00:15:09] The negotiations are encouraging. Pakistan has once again brought both countries to the negotiating [00:15:13] table, and as I said before, first of all, they should solve [00:15:16] this matter of honor. Towards that, things are improving and moving forward. [00:15:20] Now Oman and Iran are both finding a solution [00:15:24] that both countries agree on. Those negotiations are happening. [00:15:28] Once this state of honor matter is settled, the matter [00:15:31] will end here, and oil flow will start. Oil prices will come down, and the world will breathe [00:15:35] a sigh of relief. After that, the nuclear negotiations will continue, [00:15:39] but the solution will only be negotiations. This war, even [00:15:43] recently, attacks have been carried out for 10 days, nothing [00:15:46] will come out of it. For America too, they will have to sit down [00:15:50] and make an agreement at the table, [00:15:54] and a lasting agreement is needed so that these matters [00:15:58] do not start again, and a permanent [00:16:01] solution emerges, and for the future too, there is a guarantee that everyone [00:16:05] stays in their homes, brother, instead of coming here and disturbing the world, don't [00:16:09] make unnecessary attacks. If this Iran issue is resolved, and [00:16:13] if there is good news from Hamas, and if all that is settled, then this [00:16:17] whole thing will be better. Sir, in this, if we talk about the center of world attention, [00:16:21] it is Islamabad, Pakistan. The efforts of Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif [00:16:24] and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir are commendable. [00:16:29] for the hard work they have done day and night. The reason for this is that [00:16:33] there is sincerity and good intention for Pakistan. [00:17:07] where war is being fought against Pakistan, the trust of the entire Gulf region in Pakistan, [00:17:11] where this war is affecting it in the form of oil, [00:17:15] the trust of all these countries is there. To this day, [00:17:18] no country has said that they disagree with Pakistan. So, [00:17:22] this is such a big... Leave that, sir, I told you, [00:17:26] I told you that India's condition at this time is that [00:17:29] when we discard something old that is not needed at home, we [00:17:33] throw it in the corner. [00:17:36] Because [00:18:10] Omar Bhai, Donald Trump himself is under a lot of pressure because mid-term elections are going to be held in November, and there is considerable public pressure [00:18:14] on him. He wants to get out of this war [00:18:18] at all costs, and then he himself for his own people, his [00:18:21] statements will become a joke, and his people also [00:18:25] get entertained by it. Sometimes Donald Trump Sahib says that I will destroy [00:18:29] Iran, sometimes he says no, I have destroyed its economy, there will be a lot of inflation, [00:18:33] so I think Donald Trump Sahib has understood, and he himself [00:18:36] his [00:19:07] Thank you very much. Viewers, indeed, [00:19:11] he said it very correctly that Pakistan is playing an active and important [00:19:15] role in establishing peace in the world, which is commendable, [00:19:19] and people all over the world are expressing their gratitude [00:19:22] to Pakistan, and this is a moment of pride for all of us. We feel proud [00:19:26] when someone speaks highly of Pakistan [00:19:29] and praises Pakistan, and the credit for this undoubtedly goes to Field [00:19:32] Marshal Hafiz Syed Asim Munir Sahib and Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif [00:19:36] Sahib. [00:20:47] Peace be upon you and God's mercy. Welcome [00:20:50] viewers, Hamza Tariq greets you from PTV News [00:20:53] Arabia. Here is a summary of the most important [00:20:56] news. Pakistani Prime Minister [00:20:59] Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif affirmed his government's commitment [00:21:03] to continue strengthening its strategy with the Chinese Republic [00:21:06] during his reception of the Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan, [00:21:10] Jiang Aitong. The meeting discussed ways [00:21:14] to enhance bilateral cooperation, regional [00:21:17] issues. [00:21:20] Both sides emphasized the importance of intensifying the exchange of political [00:21:23] and parliamentary delegations, which contributes to strengthening relations between [00:21:27] the two countries. During the meeting, the Chinese Ambassador [00:21:32] Chinese President Xi Jinping, in which he expressed [00:21:35] his appreciation for the congratulatory message sent by Shahbaz Sharif [00:21:38] on the occasion of the 105th anniversary of the founding of [00:21:42] the Communist [00:21:42] Party of China. [00:21:49] The Pakistani Prime Minister, Muhammad [00:21:52] Shahbaz Sharif, begins today an official visit to the Kingdom [00:21:55] of Saudi Arabia, which will last three days, [00:21:59] within the framework of strengthening historical relations and strategic [00:22:01] partnership between the two brotherly countries. [00:22:05] The Prime Minister is scheduled to meet with the Saudi Crown Prince, [00:22:09] Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdul [00:22:12] Aziz, to discuss ways to enhance bilateral cooperation, [00:22:15] as well as discuss the most prominent regional and international developments, [00:22:20] and issues of common concern. The Prime Minister is [00:22:23] accompanied by a high-level delegation on a visit that confirms the strength [00:22:27] of Pakistani-Saudi relations and reflects [00:22:30] the keenness of both sides to continue coordination and cooperation in [00:22:34] various [00:22:34] fields. [00:22:41] The Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, [00:22:44] received a high-level Somali delegation at the General Headquarters [00:22:47] in Rawalpindi, led by Defense Minister Ahmed Moallim [00:22:51] Fiqi. Both sides discussed ways to enhance defense [00:22:54] and security cooperation between the two countries, as well as exchanging views [00:22:58] on issues of common concern and security [00:23:02] developments at the regional and international levels. [00:23:05] Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir affirmed during the meeting [00:23:09] Pakistan's commitment to continue supporting Somalia's efforts to enhance [00:23:12] its security capabilities, which contributes to consolidating security and stability [00:23:16] and achieving peace in the [00:23:20] region. [00:23:25] The Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed today that Prime [00:23:29] Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif will begin an official visit [00:23:33] to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which will last until [00:23:36] August 8, where he will meet with Crown [00:23:39] Prince Mohammed bin Salman to discuss bilateral relations, [00:23:43] issues of common concern, and ways to enhance [00:23:46] cooperation between the two countries. The spokesperson [00:23:50] for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tahir Hussain [00:23:53] Andrabi, stated during a press conference that Deputy [00:23:57] Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar had a phone [00:24:00] call with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi during [00:24:04] his official visit to Jordan as part of ongoing diplomatic [00:24:07] consultations with countries in the region. Regarding [00:24:10] regional affairs, the spokesperson rejected the statements of the Indian [00:24:14] Ministry of External Affairs regarding the Kashmir elections, affirming that the electoral [00:24:18] process is conducted with full transparency, and that India has no [00:24:22] moral justification to question it, adding that the dissemination [00:24:25] of misinformation will not conceal the violations committed in [00:24:29] occupied Kashmir. Regarding [00:24:32] Bangladesh, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that [00:24:35] the issue of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina [00:24:39] Wajid is an internal matter concerning Bangladesh, [00:24:42] affirming that Pakistan is committed to non-interference in the internal [00:24:46] affairs of other countries.

Analysts attribute this rise to the wave of optimism [00:25:09] that swept Asian markets following reports of [00:25:12] progress in negotiations between the United States and Iran [00:25:16] and the possibility of reaching an agreement in the coming [00:25:20] days. US President Donald Trump [00:25:24] had stated that talks with Iran are still ongoing, expressing [00:25:27] optimism about the possibility of reaching [00:25:31] an agreement by Friday. Investors in [00:25:34] the Pakistani market believe that these developments could contribute [00:25:38] to enhancing economic stability, which [00:25:41] was reflected in an increase in demand for stocks and pushed [00:25:44] the index to record strong [00:25:47] gains.

Blame, accusations, fake [00:27:52] news and propaganda. How long? If truth needs no proof, [00:27:56] then what's the dispute? Truth will not remain silent, [00:27:59] it will speak loudly, clearly, with the power [00:28:03] of facts, we will break the web of lies. [00:28:27] For a brighter tomorrow, wake up today, every day, a [00:28:31] new day, a new. [00:29:37] The destiny of nations is in the hands [00:29:39] of individuals.
