[00:01:30] It is also a manifestation of the will to further strengthen collective security, secure and prosperous future, and to expand cooperation
[00:01:34] for promoting peace and security at the global level,
[00:01:37] including in the region. The process of further expanding cooperation will continue.
[00:01:40] In Al-Safa Palace, Mecca, Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz
[00:01:44] Sharif, Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Prince Muhammad bin Salman bin
[00:01:48] Abdulaziz, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed
[00:01:51] the historic Mecca Joint Defense Agreement. This agreement, reached
[00:01:55] in the holy city of Mecca, not only benefits the people of all three
[00:01:58] countries, but the entire nation.
[00:02:39] Law enforcement agencies and the entire nation are confronting the challenge
[00:02:42] of terrorism. After decisively defeating its enemy in the battle of truth,
[00:02:46] Pakistan has further strengthened its position on the diplomatic
[00:02:50] and defense fronts, but the current situation in the Gulf has increased
[00:02:54] our economic difficulties. In the Iran-US war, Pakistan emerged
[00:02:57] as a standard-bearer of peace as a mediator
[00:03:01] through its balanced and effective diplomacy. A joint defense agreement with important countries
[00:03:05] like Saudi Arabia and Turkey is an important and golden chapter
[00:06:50] One slogan, one glory, one
[00:06:54] prostration, one life, what comes to you, comes to
[00:06:57] me, this is our firm
[00:07:00] faith, one Allah, one
[00:07:04] Messenger, one Quran,
[00:07:07] one Kalima, one Qibla, one
[00:07:10] identity.
[00:09:22] One slogan, one glory, one prostration,
[00:09:26] one life, what comes to you, comes to me,
[00:09:30] this is our firm
[00:09:32] faith, one Allah, one
[00:09:36] Messenger, one Quran,
[00:09:40] one Kalima, one Qibla!
[00:14:25] is considered an important step towards the unity and mutual cooperation
[00:14:28] of the Muslim world. A report
[00:14:30] by Jeeshan Ahmed Khan.
[00:14:33] One Messenger, one Quran.
[00:14:37] One Kalima, one Qibla, one
[00:14:40] identity. The people of Sindh say that the Mecca Mutual
[00:14:43] Defense Agreement will prove to be a milestone for the protection,
[00:14:47] security, and stability of the Muslim Ummah. The public
[00:14:50] has praised the efforts of Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif and Field Marshal
[00:14:54] Syed Asim Munir,
[00:15:19] and in this matter, the entire nation stands with them. All political
[00:15:22] parties of Pakistan stand with them, and I feel that
[00:15:37] it will become a part of Pakistan's defense cooperation. In terms of Pakistan's
[00:15:41] foreign relations, this Mecca
[00:15:44] agreement will be a challenging path for Pakistan, Saudi Arabia,
[00:15:48] and Turkey. The unity of the three friendly countries is
[00:15:52] not only important from a defense perspective, but it will also
[00:15:56] have broader diplomatic and regional implications. This agreement is not
[00:15:59] just for war, but also to prevent war. This agreement is not just
[00:16:03] for defense, but for enhancing the defense capabilities of all three countries.
[00:16:08] This agreement will complement the defense capabilities and strength
[00:16:12] of all three countries, as well as the efforts for the unity
[00:16:15] of the Ummah. The Pakistani people have welcomed this important development,
[00:16:19] stating that in changing global and regional circumstances, defense
[00:16:23] cooperation among Muslim countries
[00:16:34] the importance of the historic Mecca Mutual Defense Agreement.

[00:19:54] Jeddah summit.
[00:19:58] August 7. The power of three
[00:20:01] states. An eternal
[00:20:04] bond. One Ummah, one force.
[00:20:08] An unbreakable promise of peace
[00:20:11] will last forever more.
[00:21:20] The Saudis, in their analytical report, acknowledged Pakistan's
[00:21:24] mediating role in de-escalating tensions between the US and Iran. According
[00:21:27] to the report, Pakistan brought a global power and an important
[00:21:31] regional power to the negotiating table when the situation was
[00:21:34] at a very dangerous turning point. Due to Pakistan's efforts, high-ranking
[00:21:38] officials from both countries held direct talks in Islamabad after 47 years.
[00:21:42] The report stated that Pakistan's geographical position and its
[00:21:45] ties with both the US and Iran provided it with a unique position
[00:21:49] for effective mediation.
[00:23:24] August 14, 1947, when a new
[00:23:26] name emerged on the world map: Pakistan. The freedom,
[00:23:30] a dream of millions of Muslims of the subcontinent, but the migrations
[00:23:34] that resulted were very frightening. Let's watch
[00:23:37] Warda Saleem's report.
[00:23:41] From the earth and the sky,
[00:23:44] from every tongue, "La ilaha"
[00:23:48] emerged. From the earth
[00:23:51] and the sky, "La ilaha"
[00:23:55] emerged. This freedom was not free;
[00:23:59] its price was paid with blood. The fire of hatred against
[00:24:02] an independent Islamic country, riots, looting, martyrdoms, and destruction
[00:24:05] - what all didn't happen? Children were snatched from mothers,
[00:24:09] honor was ruined, and human dignity was trampled. On one side
[00:24:13] were slogans of "Pakistan Zindabad," and on the other, there were corpses.
[00:24:16] This first night of freedom became Karbala for the refugees.
[00:24:20] In this great journey of freedom, migration meant millions of caravans
[00:24:23] walking, on train roofs, on bullock carts, leaving
[00:24:27] everything behind - their homes, their land, the graves of their ancestors
[00:24:31] - with only a cloth bag in hand and a certainty
[00:24:34] in their hearts: Pakistan is there. On the way, there
[00:24:37] was thirst, hunger, death. Trains stained with blood reached
[00:24:41] Pakistan. They say the soil at the border was not soil,
[00:24:45] but the blood of martyrs. We should always remember
[00:24:48] their sacrifices, that this nation demands
[00:24:52] that for which they made so many sacrifices, we must continue
[00:24:55] to play our part for its progress and stability. An old man
[00:24:59] used to say, "Son, I left my home, but not my faith."
[00:25:02] A mother took out only the Quran from her burning house and said,
[00:25:06] "This is my everything." And then came the day when tired caravans
[00:25:10] crossed the border. When they saw Pakistan's board, they fell
[00:25:13] in prostration. Yes, there was pain, the wound of migration, but also
[00:25:17] the sweetness of freedom. They had their own flag, their own Azaan,
[00:25:21] their own breath. These refugees, with empty hands, built this country,
[00:25:24] established factories, opened schools, started businesses, and began
[00:25:28] nurturing their new homeland. Today, 79 years later, we are breathing
[00:25:31] in free air. Our generations probably don't realize how expensive
[00:25:35] the price of this freedom was. Is Pakistan a celebration and
[00:25:39] migration a lament? On one side are the sacrifices of martyrs,
[00:25:42] on the other, the cries of mothers that were lost at the borders.
[00:25:46] So, on Independence Day, when you see the flag of Pakistan,
[00:25:50] please also remember those workers of the Pakistan Movement who sacrificed
[00:25:54] their present so that our future could be bright. Freedom is a blessing,
[00:25:58] but we must play our important role for the progress of the country
[00:26:02] and nation, remembering the sacrifices
