00:00Let's talk to Ishaq Dar-ul-Atta, let's go with you.
00:03The government meeting is going to take place in Islamabad on the 15th and 16th.
00:08He is a guest in Pakistan.
00:10All the members of the country have confirmed that they will participate in it.
00:17On the level of the Prime Minister or President,
00:20the foreign ministers of India will participate in it.
00:26The meeting that took place in Shanghai last year,
00:29our foreign minister participated in it in India.
00:34As far as the observer status is concerned,
00:37he is the observer status of Mongolia.
00:39He will also join.
00:40Turkmenistan is always invited as a special guest from the platform of the SCO.
00:47We have also invited him.
00:49Alhamdulillah, the total human resource and people who are coming with him,
00:55on the level of delegations,
00:57because the plenary is of 1 plus 16.
01:00With the Prime Minister or President,
01:03with the head of delegation,
01:0516 people will be present in the main hall.
01:08We are expecting about 1000 people like this.
01:13Teams of security, media and other things are coming with them.
01:16By the grace of Allah, the preparations are complete.
01:20We will do our best for the hospitality.
01:25We have not made any exceptions.
01:29This is a multilateral forum,
01:31which has its own mandate.
01:33According to it, all actions are taken.
01:35When we go to other countries,
01:37you will remember that a few months ago,
01:39the heads of state summit of the SCO took place in Astana.
01:43The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mr. Shahbaz Sharif,
01:46represented Pakistan.
01:48He was also there.
01:50I was also there.
01:51By the grace of Allah,
01:55after many years,
01:57I remember that such a big event took place in 1997.
02:00In 1921-1922, the SCO held such multilateral forums.
02:06But the big forum was in 1997.
02:09In my opinion, after 27 years,
02:11Pakistan has given the honor of hosting such a big forum.
02:16By the grace of Allah, we will fulfill our responsibilities.
02:20I am answering some of the questions of our guests.
02:26Some countries have also asked for bilateral meetings
02:30to meet the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
02:32For example, China is coming a day earlier.
02:37They are coming for an exclusive bilateral meeting tomorrow instead of coming on the 15th.
02:42All other delegations will come on the 15th.
02:44They will be free on the night of the 16th and will go back.
02:46But despite this,
02:48the delegations that are coming for the SCO,
02:50some countries,
02:52Russia for example,
02:53and some other countries from the Central Asian states,
02:55they have also asked for bilateral meetings.
02:57The Pakistan Foreign Office has approved the meetings with the permission of the Prime Minister.
03:02I was also asked this question.
03:05I will give a combined answer to this question.
03:07Will India hold a bilateral meeting?
03:09The Indian Foreign Minister has not requested for a bilateral meeting.
03:13We have also not invited him for a bilateral meeting.
03:16The meeting will be held in the framework of the SCO.
03:18The meeting will be held in the framework of the SCO
03:20at the Multilateral Forum
03:22at the meeting of the Heads of Government of Shanghai Corporation.
03:27When all the proceedings are completed on the 16th,
03:33then again, according to the standard format of the SCO,
03:37I and the Secretary General of the SCO will debrief the press.
03:42And God willing, they will give their statement.
03:45I will give my statement as a guest of Pakistan.
03:50God willing, we will keep you updated.
03:53And at a higher speed than me,
03:55Mr. Tarar will keep giving you advance information on everything.
03:58Thank you very much.
04:00One by one.
04:02One by one.
04:04One by one.
04:06Mr. Kyanich, let him do it.
04:08Mr. Kyanich, let him speak.
04:10Sir, you are the Deputy Prime Minister,
04:12Mr. Saghdar and Mr. Atta Tarar,
04:14you have completed a walk.
04:16The preparations that you have seen,
04:18the models that you have seen,
04:20the efforts of the Minister of Interior and the Chief Commissioner of Islamabad,
04:22how many percent do you give them marks?
04:24And second, the most important question,
04:26that from a political party,
04:28if they have made any efforts,
04:30what is your opinion on that?
04:32And what is your comment on this?
04:34Look, I will be unfair to the entire team of Mr. Atta Tarar,
04:36to his team,
04:38to the team of the Chief Commissioner,
04:40to the team of the Chairman of the CDA,
04:42to the entire team of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
04:44to the entire team of the Interior Ministry.
04:46All the stakeholders,
04:48who are responsible,
04:50they have been with you for many weeks.
04:52They are alone in silence.
04:54They go around a lot at night.
04:56That is why, you have also seen,
04:58with the efforts of all these friends,
05:00you have said, in my opinion,
05:02everyone should get 100% marks.
05:04Inshallah.
05:06Your second question,
05:08I think,
05:10it is not a good reflection of the country's politics,
05:12that one party is doing the same work
05:14that it did in 2014.
05:16In the same square,
05:18they held a protest for 126 days.
05:20The Chinese Prime Minister,
05:22was delayed in his visit.
05:24And then we saw,
05:26what happened in this country on 9th May.
05:28And recently,
05:30we held an all-party conference.
05:32We thought,
05:34this is for Gaza,
05:36for the martyrs of Palestine,
05:38about 93,000 are injured there.
05:40This is for what has started in Beirut,
05:42in Lebanon.
05:44So we thought,
05:46they will definitely participate in that.
05:48But you saw,
05:50they did not participate in that either.
05:52This should be a top priority.
05:54And for the benefit of the country,
05:56if someone wants to
05:58do political work,
06:00protest,
06:02then there is a lot of time.
06:04This is a two-day event,
06:06and China's is a three-day event.
06:08What message will you give to the country,
06:10that a political party,
06:12is not only
06:14participating in such events,
06:16but also
06:18trying to make it a failure.
06:20This is my appeal to you,
06:22that they should cancel
06:24the 15th call,
06:26for the benefit of the country.
06:28And this 15th call
06:30should be cancelled,
06:32for their own benefit.
06:34People tell me,
06:36you always believed in reconciliation.
06:38You even held a 126-day protest.
06:40I said, I totally believe in reconciliation.
06:42But the actions of 9th May,
06:44where you crossed all the red lines,
06:46attacked your state,
06:48the state institution,
06:50the state installation.
06:52A person like me,
06:54is helpless.
06:56I think it's never too late.
06:58They should correct their mistakes.
07:00And this 15th call,
07:02should be cancelled.
07:04I'll come after this.
07:06Last year,
07:08when there was
07:10an SCO in Goa,
07:12when we went there,
07:14there was an environment,
07:16where the foreign ministers
07:18of India and Pakistan,
07:20were not shake-handed.
07:22They were shake-handed at night,
07:24but not publicly.
07:26There was an impression,
07:28that India and Pakistan,
07:30are at the centre of the stage.
07:32So, in terms of hospitality,
07:34you are going to meet
07:36the foreign ministers of India.
07:38They had come before,
07:40at the historic meeting of 2015,
07:42when PM Narendra Modi
07:44was at Nawaz Sharif's house.
07:46Do you have any hope,
07:48because Narendra Modi
07:50wanted to move forward
07:52with the Moon League?
07:54Do you have any positive trajectory?
07:56As a guest,
07:58this is our religious training.
08:00This is the training
08:02of our founders.
08:04Our political party
08:06and its leadership,
08:08demonstrated this.
08:10As a guest,
08:12everyone should be respected.
08:14They should be respected.
08:16We will welcome them,
08:18from any country.
08:20The SCO members are coming
08:22in that capacity.
08:24There is no bilateral meeting.
08:26In the SCO framework,
08:28we will respect them.
08:30The theme of this conference
08:32is social, cultural, economic
08:34and humanitarian issues.
08:36Can this conference be successful
08:38without bringing Afghanistan
08:40into the picture?
08:42Is peace possible?
08:44I am saying...
08:46One second.
08:48All the things you have said,
08:50social, economic, culture,
08:52human rights, etc.,
08:54are all in the mandate
08:56of the SCO.
08:58Nothing new is going to happen.
09:00Whenever this forum is held,
09:02it talks about all these issues.
09:04I have summarized what will happen.
09:06It will be prepared in a communiqué.
09:08I and the SCO will share
09:10this with you.
09:12Let's come to Afghanistan.
09:14As far as Afghanistan is concerned,
09:16Afghanistan was an observer
09:18status since 2021.
09:20They were not a full member.
09:22Since 2021,
09:24their observer status
09:26is virtually suspended
09:28and fructus.
09:30Since they are not being
09:32invited and are not participating
09:34due to these reasons,
09:36Afghanistan cannot
09:38make decisions on its own.
09:40The headquarters of the Multilateral Forum
09:42works proactively
09:44with the host country.
09:46That is why we did not
09:48invite them.
09:50We followed the
09:52rules of 2021.
09:54Sir, the SCO
09:56is considered to be
09:58the largest organization in the world.
10:00The heads of 12 countries
10:02are coming here.
10:04It is an honor for Pakistan
10:06to host you.
10:08What do you want to say
10:10about Pakistan?
10:12There are many aspects
10:14like trade, economy, infrastructure
10:16and energy.
10:18Pakistan can benefit
10:20the world.
10:22Secondly,
10:24you have seen the preparations.
10:26Pakistan Television
10:28is with you.
10:30Pakistan Television 360
10:32is with you.
10:34What do you want to say?
10:36As you said,
10:38we are availing
10:40the opportunity.
10:42We are doing it.
10:44Recently, the Malaysian Prime Minister
10:46visited us.
10:4827 MOUs were signed.
10:50The bilateral talks
10:52will be with Russia,
10:54China
10:56and other countries.
10:58However,
11:00you have to follow
11:02the rules of the forum.
11:04It is a protocol.
11:06As you said,
11:08I have already
11:10acknowledged
11:12PTV and Atta Tarar.
11:14He is doing a great job.
11:16It is our duty
11:18to be the hosts.
11:20In the case of Pakistan
11:22and its 25 MOUs,
11:24we will be honored.
11:26God willing,
11:28we will be honored.
11:30As you said,
11:32there is a wide spectrum of
11:34heads of government.
11:36Can we expect
11:38connectivity
11:40between India and Pakistan?
11:44In a broader context,
11:46North-South
11:48and South-South
11:50connectivity is being discussed.
11:52Railway linkages
11:54and road linkages
11:56are being discussed.
11:58We have been doing this
12:00continuously for the past 8 months.
12:02God willing,
12:04we will continue to do this.
12:06I repeat,
12:08we have to follow the
12:10rules of the forum.
12:12We have to be the hosts.
12:14We cannot be the extras.
12:16We have to follow the rules.
12:18We have to be the hosts.
12:20We cannot be the extras.
12:22We have to be the hosts.
12:24Last two questions.
12:26It is a small organization
12:28like WTO which is
12:30in the mandate
12:32but this time
12:34it will be fruitful in the region.
12:36Pakistan will have a conference
12:3827 years later.
12:40Do you think
12:42its original connectivity
12:44will change or
12:46it will remain the same?
12:48The contours
12:50and descriptions and
12:52discussions will be held in the SCO, but when you talk about connectivity, those efforts are different.
13:01We are already doing bilateral, there are many trilaterals as well. In many countries, there is TAPI,
13:07for example, there are four countries involved in it. If we have railway connectivity,
13:11then maybe three countries will be involved. So all these things are already happening in parallel
13:15under the leadership of Mr. Shabaz Sharif and will continue to happen, God willing.
13:18Yes, Mr. Sohail, last second, last period, last second.
13:20Yes, Mr. Khadija, tell us that Pakistan has risen as an important and vibrant country of SCO,
13:26and SCO is rising, just like East is rising, Pakistan and SCO are rising together.
13:32So, this time, our SCO's theme is prosperity. So, in terms of prosperity,
13:38has Pakistan made any solid road map that how is the prosperity of the entire region possible?
13:43And what are the bottlenecks in it? There are non-tariff barriers and some such things.
14:13For example, the economy should be better, the life of the common man should be better,
14:18there should be a reduction in inflation, there should be a reduction in your interest rate,
14:22your economy should run smoothly. These are all objectives. So, these are both multilateral
14:26and we also have our own core agenda, which is under the leadership of Mr. Shabaz Sharif,
14:30which is called the Homegrown Agenda. So, our whole plan has evolved around this.
14:38And by the way, we are not doing anything new.
14:41If you read our manifesto on the Muslimic Noon website before the election,
14:48you will find out what promises we have made to the community.
14:50And there are many such targets around it, which we had to bring inflation by 10% by June 2025.
15:00By the grace of Allah, it has already come.
15:02The second thing is that this is alone, where are those people, ask them,
15:06who used to say that Pakistan is a victim of isolation on an international level.
15:10Ask them today that is it a victim of isolation or all my friends, colleagues,
15:15day and night, we have kept them busy. So, this will end now,
15:21after that there are many other commitments of Saudi Arabia,
15:24Chogam is coming ahead of the Commonwealth in Samoa.
15:28Apart from that, as I said to my Saudi Arabian manager,
15:30those who do the financial investment initiative, after that there is the Qatar exhibition.
15:36So, all these things and just from 1st January, by the grace of Allah,
15:40these are your prayers of 25 million people that when Pakistan became a member of the UN Security Council 12 years ago,
15:47then it became a member by a vote.
15:50This time, by the grace of Allah, 182 votes versus 5.
15:54So, those who used to say that Pakistan has been isolated on an international level,
15:58they should reassess today that where is Pakistan standing today.
16:02And we will take our agenda, our global agenda and the agenda of peace,
16:11prosperity, development and progress that we were talking about 2 years ago.
16:15Sir, I have a question to the Deputy Prime Minister of Pakistan.
16:19Surely, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization has its own mandate and protocol.
16:23But you just said that two-way meetings with the leadership of Pakistan.
16:28Pakistan has done a lot for Palestine and Gaza.
16:31In this, you called the All-Parties Conference and created a national consensus.
16:36So, the two-way meetings that you have, surely the nation expects that you will talk about Palestine and Gaza.
16:44Look, no such opportunity does not leave Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and his team
16:49in which there is no talk of Gaza and Palestine and now Lebanon has been added to it.
16:57What the Prime Minister said in Riyadh, the same thing was said with the Malaysian Prime Minister.
17:03The Chinese leadership, the strong speech they gave in the UN,
17:08representing Pakistan, the OIC, which was the Heads of Government Summit in Gambia,
17:16it started from there.
17:17We not only did Gaza and Kashmir, the OIC contact group on Kashmir,
17:23it was not found for many years.
17:26For the first time, after many years, with the efforts of Pakistan,
17:31I was representing Pakistan and the Prime Minister.
17:33In both capacities, on behalf of the Foreign Minister and him,
17:37we held a meeting on the contact group, in which all the members participated.
17:43On Islamophobia, we appointed a permanent envoy of the Secretary General there.
17:51We did a lot of work on Gaza, which you have seen in the UN,
17:56Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif.
17:59This is our great clarity.
18:00After that, there was D-8.
18:01While representing Pakistan, we were only on Gaza in full force.
18:05After that, in Amman, the King of Jordan, the President of Egypt,
18:08the UN Secretary General did this.
18:10We did a lot of our representation.
18:13And by name, maybe someone attacked Israel or criticized it,
18:17which we did, by the grace of God.
18:20After that, it happened in Jeddah.
18:21I represented Pakistan there and the Foreign Office performed there.
18:27Now, another thing is going to happen.
18:29I will tell you right now.
18:31It is under consideration, the meeting of the OIC heads.
18:35And with that, the Arab League may also be combined.
18:39And what will be the agenda?
18:40Only one point agenda.
18:41The rivalry that is taking place in Gaza, in Lebanon,
18:45there will be a one-point agenda on that.
18:47We do not leave any place where we do not make their voice.
18:50And we are also doing practical.
18:52Ten consignments have gone.
18:54First, the consignment was going to Egypt.
18:56There were some problems there.
18:58Talking to the Jordanian government,
19:00now they are sending it to Amman.
19:02And the matter is not over there.
19:04This is going on.
19:06Two or three days ago, we had a meeting of the Cabinet.
19:08In that, they told the NDMA that you are getting tents and such colds.
19:13Immediately prepare. That is happening.
19:16They have a special account.
19:18PM relief for Gaza and Lebanon.
19:20For that, we have a top priority.
19:22For us, it is the priority of Kashmir.
19:24Similarly, it is the priority of Gaza.
19:26Thank you very much.
19:28A document has been adopted.
19:30It is the cooperation among the SU trade body,
19:32which was the proposal of Pakistan.
19:34It will be adopted in this meeting.
19:36How do you see that?
19:38What do you have to say on that?
19:40How big is the success of Pakistan?
19:42Although it will be adopted as a SU document,
19:44but by the grace of God,
19:46it is the success of Pakistan.
19:48In reference to that,
19:50the Commerce and Trade Ministers
19:52of the SU member states have had a meeting.
19:54Some physically came to Pakistan.
19:56A few weeks ago.
19:58Some joined virtually.
20:00The outcome of that
20:02will be a part of it.
20:04And Pakistan,
20:06Alhamdulillah,
20:08was a good one.
20:10We triggered it.
20:12Thank you, sir.
