Pakistan Navy conducts first successful live weapon firing; long-range ship-launched cruise missile fired.

Pakistan’s growth challenge
Pakistan does not lack potential. What it has lacked is the consistency and institutional discipline required to turn potential into prosperity. The transition from stability to sustained growth will therefore require more than ambitious targets. It will …
The Promising Trajectory
The narrative of Pakistan's IT sector is one of burgeoning potential. The country boasts a massive, tech-savvy youth population, with over 60% of its people under the age of 30. This demographic dividend provides a vast, fertile talent pool that is increa…
A Contested Coronation
The PTI has succeeded in achieving its goals. It has, at least for the time being, been successful in getting its candidate appointed to the position of KP province chief executive. Many cautions had been sent once Sohail Afridi was nominated. Almost imme…

Growing calls for Statehood
The magnitude of what an occupied population has had to go through is still beyond the scope of these figures, which are cautious by all measures. What has been done to and taken from the Palestinians over the past two years—a people who, even at the begi…
A Vital Shield
Pakistan’s launch of the “Modernization of Hydromet Services of Pakistan” (MHSP) project marks a critical, long-overdue investment in survival. In a nation where the 2022 floods displaced over 33 million people and where torrential rains continue to wreak…
Breaking the Compromise
