In this regard President Xi remarks are very important and are reflecting his dedication to great dream of China while he was addressing to a symposium held in the Great Hall, to August 2018 August mark the fifth anniversary of the BRI.

His remarks also provides a way of action and guidelines for all stalk holders of BRI to advance and move forward shoulders with shoulders and hands in hands to develop an integrated society with equal opportunities, development and strength. President Xi vision is the golden opportunity to convert and translate this world July 2018 into real global village. He is sharing expertise, knowledge, resources, intellectual competence and a lot more which gained by China after 1948 through continues hard work under the visionary leadership are now offering to world to come and join the hands. The dream of BRI revealed in 2013 and now this is 2018, only in six years more than 100 countries and international organizations are now part of the initiative, according to reports. It shows the trust by the world, gained by President Xi Vision with a very short span of time. Pakistan is also one of the most important partners of the BRI in shape of CPEC. Our previous Issues Our previous Chinese State councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi recent visit to Pakistan after the oath taking of new government of PM Imran Khan shows the combined and shared vision of the two brother countries.

Impact of Branded Goods on Consumer’s Purchase Intentions Abstract Brands have become an important figure nowadays and branded goods have immensely changed the perceptions of the individuals purchase decisions. Branded goods are basically an ironic symbol for the consumers for that they are willing to pay higher prices in return of a good name. Purchase intentions may be blocked by the brand loyalty which can be a result of the cause related exertions of marketing. This research paper tries to explore the influence of apparent product image, past experience and product awareness on consumers purchase intention. This may leads consumers towards branded products. The independent variables which are argued in this particular study is firstly, the price which shows a detailed relations with the customer satisfaction and then how consumers persuade towards the particular goods with its complete intentions. Secondly, core brand image is the variable which is the direct component that comes in the minds of consumers while making a definite reason to opt for the brand.

    Sustaining Quality Annual Report 2016-17 Annual Repo r t 2 0 1 6 - 1 7 Sustaining Quality Annual Report 2016-17 Message from the Dean and Director The Institute has long had a reputation for delivering quality education. What does this rest on? For many, this rests on having admissions characterized by selectivity, teaching by discipline and examinations by integrity. These are critical aspects of quality and they stand out in a higher education environment where numerous examples can be given of the opposite. For many, the Institute’s reputation also rests on the success achieved by its graduates in their professional careers. An impressive proportion of leadership positions in Pakistan’s corporate sector is accounted for by graduates of the Institute, decade after decade. Some graduates have also achieved professional distinction in overseas jobs. Where do we stand today? I have the pleasure to report that several objective measures show that we continue to do well in terms of quality. For many years now, we have been strengthening the quality of our faculty. In FY13, we had 81 fulltime faculty of whom 34 had PhD qualifications. In FY17 we had 118 fulltime faculty of whom 65 had PhD qualifications. We have almost doubled the number of highly qualified faculty in five years. Research is internationally considered a mark of quality. The research orientation of our faculty has been rising over time. In calendar 2016, our faculty published 89 papers in journals and conference proceedings. What is more impressive is that 21 of these publications were in high-quality peer-reviewed international journals distinguished by a high rate of citation and, therefore, impact.

    Genre Analysis of a Pakistani Clothing Brand Website

    PUTAJ – Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 26, No.1 (January-June), 2019 Exploring Structure and Content: Genre Analysis of a Pakistani Clothing Brand Website Fizza Farrukh*& Wasima Shehzad Abstract Analyzing the genre of websites helps in understanding the minimum requirements expected out of that particular virtual space. The idea of understanding the structure and content of a well-established e-commerce website is particularly important for those who are relatively novice in the field. For this purpose, the current study investigates how a popular Pakistani clothing brand has constructed its website by keeping its potential users in forefront. The theoretical framework comprises of genre-based approaches of Swales (1990) and Bhatia (2014). Moreover, the investigation outlines how genre-based studies help in understanding the meaning-making processes prevalent in the minds of the creators of that genre. The study also compares and contrasts the studied website with other similar websites to provide an overall comprehension of this sub-genre in particular. Keywords: Female education; economic development; women empowerment; Pakistan Introduction Formulating a discourse community for the users, websites become viable mediums to disseminate information (Mohd & Ali, 2015). Beyond the fulfillment of this basic functionality, websites’ genres will vary with variation in their targeted audience (Emigh & Herring, 2005). For example, Miller and Shepherd (2004) explored blog websites in their study, and argued that this genre fulfills rhetorical needs of the users, by providing a virtual space to them for writing their thoughts. The genres of websites of business companies designated for e-commerce (i.e. online stores) have been investigated by a limited number of studies (Mohd & Ali, 2015).

    Pakistan's Textile Bind Presents Bush Team with a Tough Choice Cut Tariff to Help Key Ally Or Protect U.S

    10/29/01 Wall St. J. A1 2001 WL-WSJ 29676183 Page 1 The Wall Street Journal Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc. Monday, October 29, 2001 Looming Battle: Pakistan's Textile Bind Presents Bush Team With a Tough Choice Cut Tariff to Help Key Ally Or Protect U.S. Industry; Gap Inc. Backs Islamabad Indian Drugs, Russian Steel By Helene Cooper, Staff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal A battle over Perry Ellis slacks and Gap crew-neck shirts has become the first major clash between economic and security interests in President George Bush's post-Sept. 11 world order. The government of Pakistan, a critical U.S. ally in the Afghan war, is asking the Bush administration to reduce tariffs on textiles from Pakistan. Unless tariffs are cut, Pakistani officials argue, U.S. clothing firms will continue to cut back purchases from Pakistani factories for fear of disruption and higher insurance costs. But that makes U.S. textile executives like Anderson Warlick fear they are about to become the next victims of the war on terrorism. Mr. Warlick, chief executive of cotton-yarn manufacturer Parkdale Inc., in Gastonia, N.C., says that even in a time of war and national crisis, the U.S. has no business putting the interests of Pakistan ahead of that of the textile industry in North Carolina. "We're paying 30 pieces of silver for limited support in Pakistan, at best, and our industry is being given away," he says. On Friday, Parkdale said it will shut down two yarn plants, a move that will put about 120 people out of work.
