ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) - The bilateral trade between Pakistan and Iran has reached historic high, exceeding $2 billion mark. "Iran is inaugurating numerous projects including an electricity transmission project, trial run border market and other projects that are to be completed in the near...

Common sense was to buy cheap oil and gas from energy rich, Iran!, our next door neighbour who we often forget exists. As much as Zardari, aka Mr. 10% was corrupt, he was the one who signed the deal with them to build a pipeline which it did end up happening on the Iranian side till our border...

A source in Moscow who is familiar with the negotiations told Reuters that the final deal was reached in recent days. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/pakistan-places-first-order-discounted-russian-crude-says-minister-2023-04-20/ Chinese Yuan, UAE Dhirim, or Saudi Riyal is assumed...

Youthias can't see anything from the perspective of national interest. Cheap Russian oil will help Pakistan which at the moment imports $13 billion worth of oil. As payment to Russians will be made in currency other than the dollar this is a massive relief to the economy.

False. Pakistan-Russia relations have been improving steadily since last decade or so. In 2014 arms embargo was removed https://thediplomat.com/2014/06/russia-ends-arms-embargo-against-pakistan/ In 2011 they supported Pakistan to join SCO as a permanent member which eventually happened in...

WTF!!?? LOOOL

Still the Islamic architecture in India is no where close or beautiful as Iran, Turkey, Spain, Morocco, Uzbekistan etc. Even most parts of Pakistan are touristy but our issue is we haven't preserved or marketed all that well.

Tajik. My great grandmother spoke Persian although I also have some relatives who didn't migrate to Pakistan and continued to live in Srinagar. They tell me the Kashmiri culture is similar to Persian in a lot of ways and the reason why it's like that is because the Sufis like Shah Hamdan had a...

I'm a Kashmiri and generally we are not that conservative. Yes we pray, fast and we don't drink alcohol, etc but aside from that we don't force our women to wear burqas or force them to sit at home and not go to school, work, or to eat street food or even force them into marriages without...

Oh some Levantine Christians I have come across are indeed very conservative. Despite French colonialism which always aimed to impose its own cultural hegemony, the Lebanese consider themselves as proud Arabs, although they are basically Phoenicians by blood and Arab nationalism is a relatively...

I was just about to say that women in Iran are in a better position, more educated and employed now than they were ever before. The secular Shah regime basically allowed western white men to rape and party as if Iranian women in Tehran were prostitutes.

Turkey geographically, historically and culturally need to be broken down to understand the situation. The Aegean coast has the most secular population but that's like 10% of the country's population and slowly and steadily the seculars are being diminished. Erdogan systematically made them...

That's too less. There are thousands who have come here fraudantly

1. Lies. National health insurance initiative was launched by Nawaz Sharif in December 2015. The scheme was designed for the poor families with free of cost access to secondary as well as priority diseases treatment. The annual cover of the scheme was up to Rs300,000 extendable to Rs600,000...

Pakistan is the first country in the Islamic world to have had a female Prime Minister. Her name was Benazir Bhutto twice elected. Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) was one of the best airlines in the world and Air Hostess Momi Gul Durrani was the face of success. Pakistan-born...

3 time PM lasting 8 years who has arguably developed most of the country's basic infrastructure. IK spent almost 4 years in power and did what? Last time I checked under PTI Pakistan's corruption index worsened.

I cannot speak on behalf of others as to why they say "bismillah". Sure some people say it without heart or simply not knowing it why but if you want my personal belief on that I see it as a form of dhikr to achieve spiritual perfection. i.e Repentance, Sincerity, Remembrance, and Love. You...

Nah U.K or even other European countries are still aren't at the level where Canada is right now. Here it starts from schools. Children are taught worse.

Pakistan's urban youth are lazy as **** and more of a problem than we think. Compared to other countries, they socialize a lot more, eat well, sleep well and find ample time to engage in politics. In a nutshell, their lifestyle is spoiled. And oh if they have any relatives out of country, they...
