of pakistan and the united states. when the foreign minister was in washington in september, he said it was the test and challenge for us to see where we take the u.s. and pakistan relationship going forward. the atlantic consult salvation center is taken an integral role in taking this relationship forward. we recently hosted a conference to draw attention to these topics. corporate pakistan has a key role in strengthening this relationship. we hope more businesses play a positive role. this event will continue the conversation as we hear about the future of the u.s.-pakistan relationship and how the relationship can be expanded. this past april, foreign minister bilawal bhutto zardari became the youngest foreign minister pakistan. he has the second largest coalition of the pakistan people's party. he has been a devout advocate for democracy and freedom of expression as well as an ardent supporter of women. we look forward to hearing his thoughts on this -- on these topics. i would also like to thank js global limited

while pakistan has done all of this, pakistan has concurrently been tarred and feathered as being too soft on the tele-band being incapable. what i alluded to earlier -- anchor: there have been reports that the government in islamabad directly supported the afghan tele-band in their insurgency in afghanistan, directly supported them in ousting the government and international forces. guest: those are accusations that only hold water to the extent the pakistani since day one have argued the only way issues in afghanistan would be resolved would be around the table. that was the pakistan position in 2001 and was the consistent incision across military dictator, an elected government of coalition partners, a government of only one party and a government of direct adversaries. no matter who has been in power, pakistan has done the same thing . you have to have a conversation with the taliban to resolve these issues. unfortunately, that advice was not heated but that does not add salt -- does not absolve pakistan from protecting pakistani civilians and lives. there are those that seek to t

i wonder how pakistan is reacting to this. so and ask a couple of days after speaking to some political commentators in the country of speaking to common people in the country. and i have never seen in such pessimism before that is, it seems like there is not just under government and, and it is a consensus among people that oil politicians are looking for it if their own political gain and they do not get for didn't want country and they believe that the economic or political crisis of the country has the worse and economic crisis last year when em ran, hans government was ousted to annoy confidence war. he has been out on the streets, protesting against the government, demanding an early election. and the guiding government was also not able to take a deficient, not able to make choices, that stabilized for economy. and when you look at the people that are people who can't afford rent any more, people are forced to, ah, take out the children from expensive school and found them to cheaper schools. they are unable to export t

pakistan. there are two major crossings -- one that connects kandahar and the other peschel are with an city. this is one of the busiest routes into afghanistan. both countries enjoy considerable trade and both countries are facing economic hardships. the afghan site has accused pakistan of not adhering to the agreement. unconfirmed reports saying an afghan patient was turned back from the border. many afghans come to pakistan to seek medical attention. the afghans are not happy with the way the pakistanis have behaved. the pakistani side once the border to be reopened. diplomatic efforts are underway but, on monday, there was an exchange of automatic fire which lead to fear among some of the people living close to the border areas to move from their homes temporarily. according to custom officials, 300 trucks are stranded on the -- stranded on the pakistani side, many carrying perishable items. that translates into huge losses were traders on both sides and people will be hoping this issue is

and pakistan. we also recently hosted a conference to draw tension to these topics, with and grove corporation ceo joining us for the conference to talk about investment in trade opportunities in pakistan. corporate pakistan has a key role in strengthening this relationship, and we hope that more businesses play a positive role in this relationship moving forward. this event today will continue that conversation as we hear about the future of the u.s. pakistan relationship. pakistan's evolving foreign policy priorities and how the relationship can be expanded. this past april, foreign minister bilawal bhutto zardari became the youngest foreign minister of pakistan. he heads the second largest coalition party, the people's party, in the current government. he's been a divide advocate for democracy and freedom of expression as well as an ardent supporter of women empowerment and inclusive development. we look for the hearing and thoughts of these topics and on how the bilateral relationship stands, i

because pakistan, i remember this is an atomic republic of pakistan that has already defeated the g. p. r between 20142016 pakistan and the bike sonny military and the intelligence services worked a hand in glove with civilian law enforcement and all of society kind of counter terrorism. and so a counter insurgency, bob pushed back against the ttp, that essentially ended the ttp. the fact that the oven balaban took over in gobble in 2021 is at least partly to blame for this resurgence, but principally that distracted the distraction of the pakistani military and the intelligent services away from securing the lives in livelihood. this rat taught with what sharon, what are they distracted by, by domestic politics, by trying to manage the discourse by trying to make sure that only what they approve is sang and sanctioned is what finds a space in the newspapers and on television by determining who the prime minister is in 2018, the military decided that they wanted a prime minister that they could work with. they got one, and then they got sick of him and then they got rid of him in ear

actually was sent an exception of pakistan. pakistan never support a couple based government. they never supported a government which is looking after i've done as a united and sovereign country. the extent has all the time factor. if we see even better, no follow by could not satisfy pakistan. a wish to have a neighbor on the side which could be assisted in many ways to acknowledge political and social taliban wants to return to power to deal with believing that pakistan will stay as a close friend as a close ally and as a close supporter. but as soon as the taliban are back empowered, they have been demi, nice to have been scrutinized by pakistani government and military for the 1st time in the history of gunderson. most especially in the recent history pakistan here, the power of sunday court inside afghanistan was it was considered a severe and a estate act by tyler, by name carbon, and it created a mistress between both the governments. secondly, pakistan it, 10 for domestic and he is facing too many attentions, political, economic, and social, the pakistani, democratic l

pakistan as an unstable to debtor stricken country. and this is, i would say being extended it driven man, i'm saying good proxy terrorism. this is being externally driven and i had, and i hope, oh, well i would a name, but there are, there is no method to this madness that we see in this country. these couple of a few 1000 people cannot really even imagine to capture the state of pakistan, the where the i been claiming they have been issuing denials in many cases, but these denials steadily or water. and i think this is a pretty unusual conflict that pakistan finds yourself and regardless whether the army, the military mix, a blame, also having broken their box. but i don't think we have broken their backs. this is a continuous fight that we shall have to fight until we have is all the number of issues that are connected on china that are connected. china, us rivalry as well as american india. i relationship and bug hassan's relations with india, so called lobby sal, which are, are they external factors at play here? you think as in t

and these families are from ruler ears of pakistan. an before flights, at least they were self sufficient. they had did on agriculture land, they had their own might houses. so they were able to sustain themselves. but now their land agriculture land is under water. their homes have been banished, and the un says a park is an already house, more than 30 percent people who live below poverty line. and now you and says that unless rehabilitation efforts are not made, recovery efforts are not made. an additional $9000000.00 arcus anees could be pushed into poverty. so yes, definitely floods impacted by the current economic crisis, and has worse than the situation for port of the country. so the poor could become porter, the price of onions is gone up. it is on affordable for poor families, in particular is a shortage of wheat, again, impacting poor families and the price of fuel has also gone up. i mean, it just sounds like doom and gloom, or i wonder how pakistan is reacting to this. so and ask a couple of days, i've thickened to some po

pakistan or t t p r. he was a later into the house but, but at the same time and he was supporting the us water and did it, isn't he? we plagiarism. he was also accused of secretly supporting the afghan taliban in afghanistan. and in later years of his presidency in his efforts to strong arm, they do your duty. he imposed emergency in the country and in 2007 when park is on former prime minister. i've been asked to put all i was assassinated. he was also accused of being involved in that assassination, although he denied that acquisition. so the domain of eddie controversial figuring packers and it leaves a very complicated legacy many shades to his image. that is bernisha joe javert. many, many thanks. the united states has shut down the chinese balloon that has been flying high over the u. s. for the last several days, creating a diplomatic and political storm. the pentagon says it was a platform for espionage. china now warns there may be repercussions over the downing of what it inches was nothing mor

it's also very expensive in pakistan. the military on serial breakfast cereal, factories and fertilizer factories. but the military's economic footprint in pakistan is not as expensive as it is egypt. of course, they have been criticisms for or on the miller trees business connections or being bake. and for the fact that they allegedly pay less tax. so the situation is somewhat similar between egypt and pakistan in terms of the military or the state footprint when it comes to the economy. similarity also in the way that both countries pull billions of dollars into making projects. it does that kind of investment work? i think that's more true in the case of egypt where you know, this passive amount of money on billions of dollars have been paid, have been bored into various vanity projects in the last 10 years. so any where from a new administrative capital to cities in the desert, what this has done is that this has not brought actual foreign direct investment, which would have created jobs. and would have been a more su

all powerful military in pakistan? it's complicated. one of the things that my shark actually did was sort of come bring together and hire a group of a key sort of political opinion in pakistan, among especially urbanites in urban, the urban middle class oriented against corruption and towards development. and of course, a lot of those voters have been supporting him on hand. so this is a very powerful sort of force in puck, same politics that was muted before my sheriff came on the scene. at the same time, there was a lot of controversy over his rule and in fact, he was pushed out of power in 2007 by a massive coalition of democratic parties and civil society or organizations after he acted against the independence of the, of the judiciary, so in part i think the mature, even though he was an a on democratic actor, has actually forced pakistan pakistan's relationship to the military in a completely new phase in which i think it's more likely than not that the military will net, will not get involved in a straightforwa

the former president of pakistan, pervez musharraf, has died at the age of 79. general musharraf took power in a coup in 1999, and served as president for seven years from 2001. the united states is trying to find the wreckage of a chinese surveillance balloon, which it shot down over the atlantic. the pentagon believes it had been spying on sensitive sites. beijing has accused the us of an over—reaction. liz truss blames what she calls a "powerful economic establishment" for her downfall. the shortest serving prime minister in uk history says she was never given a "realistic chance" to implement her tax—cutting agenda. police investigating the disappearance of nicola bulley in lancashire say they've spoken to a woman they'd described as a key witness. ms bulley was last seen nine days ago. nursing leaders in england have made a direct appeal to rishi sunak,

next, they can amik crisis in egypt and pakistan has many similarities. first of all, both crises came about in the immediate aftermath of the cities between russia and ukraine. and you might remember that this crisis led to a commodities supersize because in the case of egypt, there was a massive capital flight of about $20000000000.00. and then egypt was importing very expensive because it's one of the, it's actually the biggest cedar imported in the ward. and those prices went up in the immediate aftermath of the russia, you can conflict in the case of pakistan, elevated oil prices lead to a classic balance of payments crisis. and initially, pakistan tried to deal with it by freezing imports, but very soon both countries are forced to turn back to the i m f for assistance so that the i m f could assist them in stabilizing the condoms. so the efforts that both countries have now made to try and minimize the risk. well, they work well. yes. and no. the efforts that were made by egypt pragmatically, by turning to friends the out of countries that ford in

and many in pakistan, note that the, the surgeon terrorist attacks in pakistan increased after mis shara had reached that new alliance with the u. s. and one reason for that is that the pack, if any taliban, which is the main terror group in pakistan, staging attacks from a period of 2007 last thing really to the present day. one of the major incentives or motivations of that group for it's a sauce in pakistan was to blame. the fact is money state and was sharp specifically for backing the us in the war. and i understand when you think back at his time in power, what in particular stands out for you and what can be learned from that time period? well, i mean, i think it's, it's very notable that his then came after a period of pro democracy protest in pakistan and pakistan as a country that in recent years has seen a major backlash back sliding with democracy. even though you've had an honor interrupted period of civilian rule, going back to the moment that moose, our 1st step down in 2008. but i think it is important to remember that, you know, michelle was a military dictator and he wa
