Geography plays a significant role in shaping the destiny of the country. All the countries have to formulate their policies and relations according to their geographic and geostrategic needs. Pakistan is no exception. The country appeared on the globe on 14^th August 1947 in the South Asian region. In the north of the country lies the rising superpower of the world, China. On its Eastern border lies the rising economies of the region and the world, and its arch-rival, India. Pakistan shares its Western border with one of the most unstable and chaotic countries in the world, Afghanistan…

On November 10 of this year, the fifth annual India-US 2+2 Ministerial Dialogue took place in New Delhi, with Indian diplomats and military officials Rajnath Singh and Subrahmanyam Jaishankar serving as the hosts. Among the guests were their American counterparts, Antony Blinken and Lloyd Austin. It is necessary to stress once again that the sheer fact that such a bilateral platform exists typically suggests a high degree of trust between those who established it. The relations between the United States and India generally have followed this rule in recent years, which is further supported…

It should baffle the mind as what is going on in Israel and Palestine, especially in terms of media coverage, and how politicians of all hues are applying two standards to human rights and the much overused concept of international law. The not so hidden Israeli End Game is more than just cold blood murder, shoot to kill is carte blanch for Israel to eliminate once and for all any hope of a two-state solution. The Hamas enemy can be applied to anything that moves, or in proximity—collateral damage…

A robust conclusion emerged from the unprecedented Arab-Islamic summit held in the capital of Saudi Arabia, but no real steps were taken to counter Israel and its Western backers, particularly the US. Leaders of the Muslim world eventually convened in Riyadh for a conference on the Palestinian issue, following over a month and a half of ceaseless bombing that claimed thousands of civilian lives. Top leaders from major Muslim nations, including Syrian President Hafez al-Assad, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saudi…

In April 2023, the Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan assessed the degree of deterioration of the main CHPs in the country. As a result, it was found that most of the facilities were significantly depreciated, with many of them (as many as 17) having depreciation rates exceeding 70%. The Ministry’s report reflects another peculiarity of Kazakhstan’s CHPs – all of them (37 units) were built during the Soviet period. Privatisation of this sector of the economy in the 1990s led to the concentration of sectoral facilities with private companies…

Discussions that the DPRK’s attempt to launch a satellite will entail the rupture of the inter-Korean military agreement impel the author to remind the audience how the preparation process for this launch is going on. On May 31, North Korea launched its first military spy satellite, Malligyong-1, mounted on a new-type carrier rocket, Chollima-1. According to North Korean media, the rocket crashed into the Yellow Sea after the second stage engine malfunctioned. In July 2023, North Korean satellite debris was retrieved from the Yellow Sea, after which South Korean experts declared that…

On Monday 20 November, as the liberation of Adveeka draws closer with every day and the Russian forces continue to push the Kiev forces out of the Donbass and inflict heavy losses in men and material on their forces all along the front, and as funding for Ukraine dries up and the Kiev regime sits on a sharp blade, impaled by their own delusions and corruption, the US Secretary of Defence, Loyd Austin, made a quick trip to Kiev…

The pro-Iranian Shi’ite military organisation and political party Hezbollah (“Party of Allah”) is known to advocate the establishment of an Islamic state in Lebanon along the lines of Iran. Initially, this structure supported the just struggle of the Palestinians against Israel, for which it was recognized by Tel Aviv as a terrorist organisation. With the beginning of the anti-Israeli military conflict of Hamas on 7 October this year, “Hezbollah declared its readiness to support the Arabs the very next day, and to enter the war if the IDF launched a ground operation against the Gaza Strip…

The U.N. Security Council has passed its initial resolution since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas conflict, urging immediate and prolonged humanitarian breaks in Gaza to address the worsening crisis for Palestinian civilians amid Israel’s air and ground assaults. Israel promptly rejected the resolution. The vote in the 15-member council resulted in a 12-0 outcome, with the United States, United Kingdom, and Russia opting to abstain. The U.S. and U.K. refrained due to the resolution’s omission of condemnation of Hamas’ unexpected cross-border attacks into Israel on Oct. 7…

Several embassies and consulates were closed by North Korea in late October and early November of 2023.

North Korea reportedly closed its embassy in Spain on November 1…

The US and Europe purport to start a political peace process for the Israel-Palestinian conflict, only to prevent other actors from seeking sustainable peace. The reality that The West is behind Israel’s ‘mowing’ Palestinians’ is accentuated in Josep Borell’s speech at the Opening of EU’s Ambassador’s Conference 2023. Evidence of these parties starting a process only to preclude others can be seen in the Oslo Accords that began in 1978 at Camp David in a period when the US was trying to act like a responsible player compared to the USSR, but to advance its interest. The Camp David Accords led to the Oslo Accords in 1993 and 1995, which were supposed to culminate in the peaceful coexistence of Israelis and Palestinians. However, careful review shows that The West gave Israel what it wanted, a legal recognition by Palestinians…
