    Pakistan - Turkey (PAC-TAI) Collaboration for NGFA-TFX 5th Gen Aircraft l Updates, News & Discussion

    Some of you are jumping the gun but in reverse due to that SavunmaSanayiST tweet which said the MERGER of the MMU & AZM NGAF is not true. However, the TAI CEO said they're collaborating on a "Turkish-Pakistani" fighter. Furthermore, if you watch the video the Pakistani AVM/VP NSTP CONFIRMED it...

    TRADE WITH INDIA NEED OF THE HOUR, SAYS ADVISER TO THE PRIME MINISTER ON COMMERCE RAZAK DAWOOD

    Where did he say this or is this just your belief? Either way that's not going to happen. When has India offered to export raw materials to us? They haven't. You know why? B/c they're not dumb enough to help our industry. Nor do we have anything to offer them in return for making it an...

    Pakistani Learns the Hard Way that Ummah Doesn't Exist

    Some of you don't seem to understand that "ummah" means a community or nation. A community/nation can be severely divided on issues. That doesn't mean it's no longer one entity. Some will work to bridge the divide & others will continue to breed hatred against the opposing side. Others will...

    TRADE WITH INDIA NEED OF THE HOUR, SAYS ADVISER TO THE PRIME MINISTER ON COMMERCE RAZAK DAWOOD

    Why do we need trade from india? What little trade there is has so far been heavily one-sided in favour of India. How does that benefit us? Indians have already shown they don't want more trade with us with the massive tariffs on our goods that the Indians place. Oh and let's not forget the fact...

    Lahore needs new Master Plan like Dubai & Other International Mega Cities (High Rise Buildings Plan)

    It's b/c of the jahil mindset that many pakistanis have that if it's flashy it's good & therefore should be mindlessly copied. I've been to dubai & sure buildings are nice i guess but it's not exactly a model that we should be following. I mean its wealth is due to oil, port & money laundering...

    Lahore needs new Master Plan like Dubai & Other International Mega Cities (High Rise Buildings Plan)

    Our cities are hundreds to thousands of yrs old with historical & cultural buildings & areas. Instead of nonsense like looking towards dubai, Pakistan needs to look towards europe & study how they've managed to modernize their cities WITHOUT losing their historical & cultural heritage. You're...

    China’s Ticking Time Bomb of Debt

    Domestic debt doesn't really matter. It's external that countries have to worry about but even there China is doing fine right now. China has around $2.5 trillion USD external debt. However, it owns around $1 trillion of US gov debt plus additional $3+ trillion USD in reserves. They have more...

    Has Imran Khan Successfully Destroyed the Institution of Army too?

    OP's accusation doesn't make any sense. If IK is to blame for extension of incompetent Bajwa, then why did other CCs not put any pressure to stop it? You actually think he would've asked for extension in the first place if the CCs weren't behind him? Fact of the matter is there was no resistance...

    Ideas to improve R&D in Pakistan

    I agree with you. However, for now I'm operating under the assumption that business environment will improve. Otherwise, for me, there's no point in engaging in these hypotheticals & brainstorming ideas. :D

    Ideas to improve R&D in Pakistan

    To clarify, I'm comparing Israel of 80s-90s to Pak today. Maybe there would still be a big difference but like I said, we can start small. Also, remember you're inviting PRIVATE capital as well so the burden is not solely on the gov. The pie will get bigger as you expand. It wouldn't cost us...

    Ideas to improve R&D in Pakistan

    Although in terms of percentage the education/HDI level is not high, but surely in absolute terms the number of our ppl that are educated balances it out. These things inevitably improve alongside industrial & economic development. Business reform may not happen initially but start small & get...

    Ideas to improve R&D in Pakistan

    The YOZMA program was for exactly that: a program for funding & incubating startups thereby kickstarting industry. It wasn't for R&D. You might be thinking of TALPIOT which was more R&D focused

    Ideas to improve R&D in Pakistan

    Perhaps follow Israel's YOZMA program? Invite investors (both local & foreign) to set up fund(s). Gov provides a percentage of the fund (as much as it can afford). Each investor owns a stake according to the amount the invested including the gov. Shares of the fund can be bought and sold as...
