[00:08:25] Pakistan Television News, and I am Roomesa Qureshi with you.
[00:08:29] You have seen the headlines. Stay with
[00:09:43] If this is built, why shouldn't we populate
[00:09:46] it? India does not need to be populated.
[00:09:49] India is already populated. It has lost
[00:09:53] nothing. We have lost it. We have lost
[00:09:56] it. And when
[00:10:00] they used to leave there, believe me, screams would
[00:10:04] erupt. Cries would be heard. It was
[00:10:07] very difficult. Was.
[00:10:11] In the name of Allah,
[00:12:39] the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Assalamu Alaikum. I
[00:12:43] am Shumaila Chaudhry with you on the program Siasat
[00:12:46] Tonight. Our agenda today includes the Makkah
[00:12:50] Defense Agreement, making new history. Security
[00:12:54] forces operations against
[00:13:26] terrorists continue in Gaza. The best thing about
[00:13:31] is that Pakistan, the first nuclear
[00:13:34] power of the Muslim world, has a very important
[00:13:38] role in it. What do you see for the future
[00:13:41] of this agreement
[00:13:48] Gracious, the Most Merciful. Ali Rasoolul Karim.
[00:13:51] Look, Shumaila, you mentioned Allama Iqbal.
[00:13:55] Indeed. There is no doubt that for the protection
[00:13:58] of the Haram and the Two Holy Mosques,
[00:14:01] and against the conspiracies
[00:14:05] it, in fact, if anyone is standing
[00:14:08] emotionally more than anyone
[00:14:12] else, or has stood, or whose faith demands
[00:14:16] it, then by the grace of Allah, it is the Pakistani
[00:14:19] nation and the soldiers of the Pakistani
[00:14:23] armed forces who come for this purpose,
[00:14:26] first saying that I want martyrdom,
[00:14:30] and we will either be victors or martyrs. But before
[00:14:34] Allama Iqbal, Allah Almighty said
[00:14:37] that He swore by the fig and
[00:14:40] the olive, and by Mount
[00:14:42] Sinai. He took
[00:14:52] oaths and swore by the city of peace,
[00:14:56] Makkah. And inside this city of peace,
[00:14:59] Makkah, today, after the Friday prayer,
[00:15:03] and within the boundaries of the Haram of Makkah,
[00:15:07] this agreement was made. Attaullah Tarar Sahib
[00:15:11] was also saying in his
[00:15:49] tweet and in his discussion, so the boundaries
[00:15:52] of the Haram of Makkah. A special prayer
[00:15:56] ceremony is being held on the occasion of the death
[00:15:59] anniversary of Major Tufail Muhammad Shaheed. Tribute
[00:16:03] is being paid to the great sacrifice and bravery of Major
[00:17:08] Tufail Muhammad Shaheed. His bravery and sacrifice
[00:17:11] for the homeland are being remembered. May Allah honor
[00:17:14] him with all the promises and glad tidings that the
[00:17:18] Messenger of Allah (PBUH) conveyed for the martyrs. O
[00:17:21] Lord of the Worlds, protect the pure land
[00:17:25] from all evil and mischief through
[00:17:28] the sacrifices of our martyrs.
[00:19:43] ceremony was held on the occasion of the death
[00:19:46] anniversary of Major Tufail Muhammad Shaheed. Tribute
[00:19:50] was paid to the great sacrifice and bravery of Major Tufail
[00:19:54] Muhammad Shaheed. His bravery and sacrifice for the
[00:19:57] homeland were remembered. Guest of Honor Major General
[00:20:01] Noman Manzoor Awan laid flowers in memory
[00:20:05] of Major Tufail Muhammad Shaheed and paid tribute
[00:20:53] to the martyr. And in both those holy
[00:20:57] places, how much reward is there for prayers?
[00:21:00] I will move on. Besides that, we have seen in the declaration
[00:21:04] that Pakistan, whose armed
[00:21:07] forces, whose strategy made India bite
[00:21:11] the dust, whose role as a mediator
[00:21:14] in the Iran-US war, and where
[00:21:17] Pakistan, thank you Pakistan.
[00:21:50] The declaration states that there is flexibility.
[00:21:53] Yes, we have no flexibility regarding India, regarding
[00:21:57] the Kashmir issue, regarding the Fitna-e-Hindostan,
[00:22:02] regarding Israel's fascism. But since Turkey
[00:22:06] is also part of Europe and has relations with other
[00:22:10] countries, we also said that there is no flexibility,
[00:22:14] we are not a bone that will break. We want
[00:22:17] to tell that after this agreement of three
[00:22:21] countries, we have also told the world that
[00:22:23] we have courage, we have resources,
[00:22:27] we have solutions to problems, we are united against
[00:22:30] terrorism, but we also believe
[00:22:34] in negotiations, and we also believe
[00:22:37] in dialogue. And this
[00:22:40] I told you, that on one hand,
[00:22:44] our firm, unwavering role
[00:22:47] has also come to light. Flexibility is also
[00:22:51] present in things where it should be, if there is talk
[00:22:55] of negotiations, if we have to show the path of peace
[00:22:58] to the world. Therefore, today's declaration,
[00:23:02] and then see, when our officials, and then
[00:23:06] the officials of Saudi Arabia and Turkey,
[00:23:09] posted on X, tweeted, I think the world
[00:23:13] should understand that we are inviting all
[00:23:16] nations, all countries, to come and talk together.
[00:23:20] And what is happening in Gaza, or when you go to the next
[00:23:24] topic, we will talk then. But a clear message
[00:23:27] has gone out. I believe that Allah Almighty
[00:23:31] has given such an opportunity that
[00:23:35] of the Two Holy Mosques along with the servants
[00:23:38] of the Two Holy Mosques, and we will protect
[00:23:42] them, Inshallah. And our matters, Pakistan,
[00:23:45] which became the first state in the name of Islam
[00:23:48] after the original
[00:23:50] state of Medina, then Saudi Arabia and Turkey will stand
[00:23:54] with it in its matters. In fact, you will soon
[00:23:57] see that many more countries are joining it. Absolutely
[00:24:00] right. Jawad Faizi Sahib, Khalid Qayyum Sahib,
[00:24:03] this Makkah Defense Agreement, we understand its defensive
[00:24:07] aspect, but if we talk about its economic
[00:24:11] aspect, what benefit is Pakistan going to get
[00:24:16] I believe that the biggest thing is that this
[00:24:19] Makkah Defense Agreement will promote peace
[00:24:23] in this region and in the Middle East.
[00:24:26] I believe that peace will be promoted
[00:24:30] by it, and
[00:24:33] the defense of the three
[00:24:36] countries will also
[00:24:39] its economic effects will also,
[00:24:43] I believe, be positive for Pakistan
[00:24:47] and Turkey, and when peace is established,
[00:24:50] its effects will be better in this region and in
[00:24:54] Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries. Here
[00:24:58] too, the economy
[00:25:01] you see, you asked what its economic
[00:25:05] effects will be on Pakistan. So you see,
[00:25:08] Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have always had
[00:25:12] long-standing relations.
[00:25:16] close relations with Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
[00:25:20] And you talked about Turkey. You see,
[00:25:25] openly stood with Pakistan, and Turkey
[00:25:29] has always openly supported Pakistan on the Kashmir
[00:25:33] issue, and in this battle of truth,
[00:25:37] Pakistan inflicted a humiliating defeat on India.
[00:25:41] In that defeat, India felt the most pain
[00:25:44] after Pakistan from Turkey and Azerbaijan.
[00:25:48] So if you look at it, Pakistan's
[00:25:52] economy is linked with Saudi Arabia.
[00:25:55] Pakistan's economic situation is linked with Saudi
[00:25:59] Arabia. Saudi Arabia has always supported
[00:26:02] Pakistan in difficult times. Saudi Arabia
[00:26:06] has cooperated with Pakistan in restoring its economy,
[00:26:10] in improving it,
[00:26:14] And let me tell you one thing,
[00:26:18] when the President of Muslim League
[00:26:20] N and former Prime Minister Nawaz
[00:26:24] Sharif conducted nuclear tests,
[00:26:27] at that time, when economic sanctions
[00:26:31] were imposed on Pakistan,
[00:26:33] Saudi Arabia was the first to openly stand
[00:26:36] with Pakistan and provided
[00:26:40] Pakistan with oil facility on credit
[00:26:43] and deferred payments in that difficult
[00:26:46] situation. And this oil facility, this
[00:26:50] credit oil facility, has continued to be
[00:26:55] in all subsequent periods, and even
[00:26:59] now, this credit facility is available
[00:27:03] to Pakistan from Saudi Arabia. Then you know that in our
[00:27:06] State Bank of Pakistan also, to improve
[00:27:10] our foreign exchange reserves.
[00:27:13] There too, the deposits from Saudi Arabia
[00:27:17] are present there, and along with that,
[00:27:21] you see. Our field marshals.
[00:27:24] Through their efforts and the efforts
[00:27:27] of our Prime Minister, foreign investment
[00:27:31] is coming into Pakistan.
[00:28:32] Its capacity will be to refine oil,
[00:28:36] and in other sectors too, investment from
[00:28:40] Saudi Arabia is coming. And along with that,
[00:28:43] most importantly, you know that the biggest
[00:28:47] role in Pakistan's economy and in improving Pakistan's
[00:28:50] foreign exchange reserves is that of overseas
[00:28:54] Pakistanis. Those foreign remittances.
[00:28:56] And by the end of this fiscal year,
[00:29:00] 42 billion have reached Pakistan's
[00:29:03] remittances, and among them, the largest
[00:29:07] number of overseas Pakistanis, close to one crore,
[00:29:11] more than 2.5 million Pakistanis are in Saudi
[00:29:15] Arabia, and today, the largest
[00:29:19] remittances coming to Pakistan
[00:29:21] are from Saudi Arabia, and from Saudi Arabia,
[00:29:25] resources are coming to Pakistan, due to
[00:29:29] which our balance of payments today
[00:29:32] remained in surplus by the end of the last
[00:29:36] fiscal year. And along with that, let
[00:29:39] me tell you, if we talk
[00:29:43] Pakistan's trade with Turkey is increasing.
[00:29:46] Our relations with them are increasing,
[00:29:50] and Turkey's investment in Pakistan is also
[00:29:53] increasing. Here, Turkey's investment is
[00:29:57] in the transport sector, here Turkey's investment
[00:30:03] sector, and especially in this regard, the trade
[00:30:06] between Pakistan and Turkey is likely
[00:30:10] to increase to 5 billion dollars soon. It is absolutely
[00:30:14] true that first there will be peace in the region,
[00:30:17] then there will be business, trade, investment will come,
[00:30:21] and the economy will improve. We are talking about
[00:30:24] Saudi Arabia. We have an emotional connection
[00:30:27] with Saudi Arabia, and now a defense
[00:30:31] agreement has also been signed. Our army, every child
[00:30:35] of our country is ready to sacrifice for our
[00:30:39] holy places. In a way, we are a blank
[00:30:42] check for Saudi Arabia. Ahmed
[00:30:47] in 2025, Pakistan first signed
[00:30:50] this historic defense agreement with Saudi Arabia.
