At PM Shehbaz Sharif’s office, the Saudi delegation headed by Prince Faisal bin Farhan was greeted.

The SIFC apex committee and the Saudi foreign minister would meet to finalize the investment proposals.

A meeting with the army chief is scheduled for the two days that the Saudi delegation is in Pakistan.

The delegation comprises of the following individuals: Bandar Ibrahim AlKhorayef, Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources; Mohammed Mazyed Al Towaijri, Head of Saudi Special Committee; and senior officials from the Ministry of Energy and Saudi Fund for General Investments. The Saudi Minister of Water and Agriculture, Eng. Abdul Rahman Abdul Mohsen Al-Fadley, is also in attendance.

Yesterday morning at the airport, the team was greeted by Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to Pakistan, Nawaf bin Saeed Ahmad Al-Malkiy, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, and other cabinet members.

Premier Shehbaz Sharif and Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, Mohammad bin Salman, recently met in Makkah and came to an agreement to strengthen bilateral economic cooperation. This was the reason for the visit.

It is expected that the visit will help to establish a mutually beneficial business alliance between the two countries and would significantly enhance bilateral cooperation.

Pakistan is attempting to entice Saudi Arabia to spend billions of dollars under the auspices of the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), a civil-military body that aims to remove bureaucratic roadblocks and other obstacles impeding foreign investment.

When PM Shehbaz and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman recently visited the Kingdom, they decided to accelerate Pakistan’s first round of a $5 billion investment package.

The nomination of Ishaq Dar as deputy prime minister raises concerns.

Published

By

A lot of doubts have been raised by Ishaq Dar, the foreign minister, being appointed deputy prime minister.

No reference to the Constitution, regulations, or any other law was mentioned in the Cabinet Division’s notification of the appointment.

What powers Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif used to designate Ishaq Dar as deputy prime minister has come under scrutiny in light of this.

There are questions about the legal foundation for the deputy prime minister’s nomination as it appears from the notification’s phrasing that rules for the position have not yet been established, according to insiders.

Likewise, the announcement is vague about the deputy prime minister’s proposed authority.

Deputy prime minister would be purely symbolic, according to government sources, and would not be authorized to carry out prime ministerial duties. In Pakistan, the deputy prime minister has previously been nominated.

The PPP administration appointed Chaudhry Parvez Elahi as deputy prime minister.

Observe that Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar was appointed deputy prime minister on Sunday with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s consent; the Cabinet Division formally announced the appointment.

Dar holds the position of Pakistan’s fourth deputy prime minister. Previous appointments to the position of deputy prime ministers included Parvez Elahi, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, and Begum Nusrat Bhutto.

The green colour of WhatsApp ‘angers’ some users.

Published

By

After changing its display colour from blue to green, WhatsApp, which was before well-known for its blue motif, caused its users to hold divergent views.

New upgrades to the Meta app always spark a lot of discussion, regardless of how big or small the changes are.

Still, Meta-owned WhatsApp hopes that these modifications would “make it more accessible as well as easier to use” and offer a “modern, new experience” with relation to the updated display color.

A statement from the firm claimed that they had altered WhatsApp’s “looks and feels, including spacing, colors, icons, and more.”

Both iOS and Android users can now view the new WhatsApp update; the green tint on the latter has changed from the previous version.

However, iPhone users will notice that every display element, including the chat-list window and status bar, has changed with the recent design update. WhatsApp used to have a blue color scheme on iPhones.

Furthermore, the formerly blue links shared within the app are now displayed in green.

In addition, WhatsApp has made other improvements to improve its user experience outside of the color shift.
