[00:01:21] the matter of blocking

[00:01:28] from stability to economic development.
[00:01:48] has also officially stated
[00:02:33] Foreign exchange reserves have reached a historic high.
[00:02:37] Unfortunately, everyone is affected by the situation in the Middle East.
[00:02:41] Enemy forces are behind the terrorism in the country. In the current situation,
[00:02:46] to use its influence marches, strikes, and sit-ins hinder the path of economic development. The stagnation of economic activities
[00:02:50] has caused billions of rupees in losses. Federal Finance Minister

[00:03:24] PTI's Junaid Akbar's inflammatory statements.
[00:03:27] The plan to make the September 27 protest violent has been exposed.
[00:03:31] A wave of concern has spread among the public. Junaid Akbar's politics
[00:03:35] of corpses and statements of violent protest and threats to destroy the federal capital.
[00:03:38] The government and law enforcement agencies
[00:03:42] are already monitoring the situation in view of the potential for violent situations.
[00:03:46] PTI's aim is to spread chaos
[00:03:48] and destruction in the country.
[00:03:51] Junaid Akbar's statement reveals his intention to spread chaos and destruction.
[00:03:55] They do not believe in peaceful protest. There is a fear of violence
[00:03:59] and bloodshed under the guise of protest. The protection of people's lives, property,
[00:04:03] and livelihoods is the responsibility of the government. We will not allow roads to be blocked
[00:04:06] and public life to be affected. Information Minister
[00:04:10] Ataullah Tarar's reaction to Junaid Akbar's violent statement.
[00:04:14] Pakistan has sheltered Afghans
[00:04:15] for five decades
[00:04:20] and shared its limited resources with them. 70 to 80 percent of the terrorists
[00:04:24] who attack our mosques, schools, markets, and army are Afghans.
[00:04:28] It was reiterated that Pakistan's unwavering
[00:05:00] commitment to the principles of peace and justice,
[00:05:03] and the elimination of poverty, injustice,
[00:05:06] To talk about this whole situation, and intolerance are essential for lasting peace. The dream of global peace
[00:05:09] remains incomplete without the right to self-determination for Palestinians and Kashmiris.
[00:06:42] At this time, all Saudi cities and infrastructure
[00:06:46] are their targets, and in this regard,
[00:06:49] there is a lot of opinion that
[00:06:53] there are high chances of escalation. At
[00:06:56] the same time, if we look, Turkey
[00:07:00] that it is ready to provide all possible military support
[00:07:04] and fulfill the requirements of Saudi Arabia. Because a recent trilateral
[00:07:08] defense agreement has been seen.
[00:07:11] But at the same time, Pakistan's role
[00:07:42] of mediation and arbitration
[00:07:46] is also ongoing, and Pakistan wants these issues
[00:07:50] to be resolved through diplomacy. And obviously, this also involves talks with Iran,
[00:07:54] and some other countries as well, like Saudi Arabia has directly asked China
[00:07:59] over Iran, because Iran has influence
[00:08:03] over the Houthis. And the interesting
[00:08:06] thing is that Iran has also offered to mediate
[00:08:10] talks between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi militia,
[00:08:14] saying that they are ready
[00:08:18] if both parties show seriousness
[00:08:22] Along with that, another news
[00:08:25] that is obviously related to this, or let's say,
[00:08:29] the current tense situation in the region, is that Iran
[00:08:33] has perhaps given
[00:08:36] a good indication, in which they have said that they are also considering withdrawing from the nuclear agreement,
[00:08:40] but they have a few conditions. The conditions that have been reported
[00:08:44] at this time include, first of all, that all fronts
[00:08:48] where fighting is taking place, where there is confrontation,
[00:08:51] should be ended. From the US side,
[00:08:55] their frozen assets should be restored,
[00:08:59] and the maritime blockade, the naval blockade
[00:09:03] that is being seen from the US side, should be ended. There is another interesting
[00:09:06] aspect that if you talk about both sides, the US says
[00:09:10] that in the State of Hormuz,
[00:10:12] Earlier, he went in 2015, and at that time, the President
[00:10:16] there was Barack Obama.
[00:10:19] Ambassador Javed Malik.
[00:10:22] Thank you very much, Ambassador. It is a center for all Muslims.
[00:10:55] It is our spiritual center. The blessed shrine of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
[00:10:58] is there. The Kaaba is there. We call it the sacred land.
[00:11:02] We cannot tolerate even a hateful glance towards this sacred land.
[00:11:06] Here, attacks are happening. Very, very tragic,
[00:11:09] unfortunate. And the most regrettable thing
[00:11:12] is that those who are doing it
[00:11:16] So, the history of this conflict
[00:11:19] is quite complicated. I was seeing some people.
[00:11:22] They targeted civilian infrastructure,
[00:11:55] not a military base, not an American base, which Iran used to claim
[00:11:58] they were attacking, military bases. Here, there is no military
[00:12:02] base. There are airports, civilian infrastructure, their oil and
[00:12:06] gas installations, their refineries, their pipelines,
[00:12:10] which are challenging their economic
[00:12:13] sovereignty. And the second is Bab al-Mandab.
[00:12:16] If you look at Bab al-Mandab, Saadia Sahiba,
[00:12:20] if we analyze it dispassionately and
[00:12:22] objectively, then
[00:15:37] But the other thing is that there is also a lot of distrust between Saudi Arabia and
[00:15:41] Iran. There is still a need for confidence-building measures.
[00:15:45] If Iran is sincere in its offer, then I believe
[00:15:48] it is definitely
[00:15:50] a good step. But we also have the report by Reuters,
[00:15:54] in which GD Vince was also quoted saying that their negotiations with the Houthis
[00:15:58] have taken place, and the Houthis have assured them that they will not
[00:16:01] target US targets and Israeli targets. I think it is a very surprising
[00:16:05] thing that
[00:16:38] and the Foreign Minister of Iran, during their meeting
[00:16:41] with the Chinese Foreign Minister, it is absolutely
[00:16:45] true that they asked him to use his influence.
[00:16:49] I think the wise leadership within Iran,
[00:16:52] such as their President,
[00:16:56] Mr. Masoud Pezeshkian, statements have come from him,
[00:17:00] and a diplomatic element has been seen in them. You must have
[00:17:04] heard his statement when he said that
[00:17:38] obviously, a slightly different narrative keeps coming from there as well,
[00:17:41] and many people are hawks there.
[00:17:45] They probably don't want the situation to improve quickly.
[00:17:49] Please tell me, if we talk about the confrontation between the Houthis and
[00:17:52] Saudi Arabia, then if you also look at Yemen at large,
[00:17:56] the situation there is not good either. Their internal war
[00:17:59] is going on, displacement has started. Just yesterday, a report came
[00:18:03] that one lakh, and in one place, about 1.25 lakh people, the United Nations said that
[00:18:37] General Assembly. So we know that in terms of international law,
[00:18:41] the governments of the countries, the legitimate governments,
[00:18:44] that is what we call nation states that are members of the UN.
[00:18:47] So the actual legitimate government of Yemen
[00:18:51] is in its place, but there are two, or according to some, four
[00:18:55] such proxies or non-state actors
[00:18:59] that exist there, who have taken up arms and believe
[00:19:02] that they do not accept the writ of this legitimate government.
[00:19:06] Let's talk further.
[00:20:37] On one hand, we see that Iran's delegation
[00:20:41] is going to the UNGA. They have been issued visas. That's good.
[00:20:45] Maybe we will see an avenue for diplomacy opening up there. But
[00:20:48] everyone knows China.
[00:21:20] with whom we want to work together, which was previously seen
[00:21:23] as a rival in the old security policy. Now they are not looking at it that way.
[00:21:27] But at the same time, do you think China will talk
[00:21:31] about all these things or are there any chances
[00:21:35] during this visit? Yes, Saalia Sahab, again I will agree with
[00:21:37] you because your analysis in the question
[00:21:41] is absolutely correct. I also belong to the same school of thought.
[00:21:44] Some people, we see, say that China is
[00:21:48] a
[00:22:50] C, and they are never confronting America, nor are they engaged
[00:22:54] in any theater of war. Their diplomacy is very
[00:22:57] wise, and they want to move forward with their relationship
[00:23:01] with America in parallel. Therefore, the increase in Pakistan's global
[00:23:05] influence, Saadia Sahiba, in my opinion, is also largely due to the fact
[00:23:08] that Pakistan has finally managed its foreign policy
[00:23:12] wisely, and we have restored the diplomatic equilibrium
[00:23:16] that should have always been there. We should not have said that
[00:25:50] many of their points are not being
[00:25:53] disclosed. The reality, Saadia, is this, that the
[00:25:57] American blockade has been successfully able to
[00:26:01] open the Strait of
[00:27:02] to, I think, one would hope, perhaps, let's hope that they are not
[00:27:05] in part of the truth, right? Ambassador Javed Malik, thank you
[00:28:41] He took it into his surroundings, and there, Netanyahu, along with those settlers and his army,
[00:28:44] entered the precincts of the Wailing Wall.
[00:28:48] Now, Hamas has said that Netanyahu's tunnels beneath
[00:28:52] Al-Aqsa Mosque, the excavation works, wherever those things
[00:28:55] are, especially his visit to
[00:28:59] and this is our identity, and ours. It is an open
[00:29:03] attack on it. And they also say that Al-Aqsa Mosque,
[00:29:06] along with its courtyards, the prayer areas, the walls,
[00:29:10] and the gates, will remain completely a mosque,
[00:29:14] and we will not allow it to be changed in any way. On one hand,
[00:29:18] this is the matter. On the other hand, you know, you also see
[00:29:21] a period of peace, a ceasefire, but despite that,
[00:29:25] attacks are continuing. This is the situation in Palestine, and you also
[00:29:28] see the same situation in Lebanon, the recent attacks.
