Pakistan attaches importance to its relations with Libya. The two countries enjoy close fraternal and cooperative ties, which are deeply rooted in the ethos of the two people. The people of Pakistan have always stood with their Libyan brother and fully respect their national aspirations. Exchange of high level visits from both sides has further contributed to comprehensively upgrading our bilateral relationship. In order to further boost the economic and commercial relations, the two countries have also signed seven Agreements/MoUs. The two sides have agreed to initiate a joint study for PTA leading to FTA. A Joint Investment Company with subsidiaries in oil, gas, agriculture, banking, Finance and infrastructure development projects has also been established.

Efforts are however, underway to enhance trade and economic relations to the mutual benefits of our two nations. Pakistan’s relations with Egypt and Yemen Pakistan enjoys close friendly relations with all the North African and Middle Eastern countries including Egypt and Yemen. Our relations with these countries are based on common faith, culture and similarity of views on a host of issues of regional and international importance. We believe that stability of these countries is important for the stability of our region and the world. We have structured mechanisms such as the Joint Ministerial Commission providing a useful platform for continued interaction and exchange of visits. We also hold bilateral consultations with these countries from time to time and review our existing beneficial cooperation with them in various fields. There is increased interaction between Pakistan and Egypt in the recent years. The two countries attach importance to their relations and are working to strengthen their cooperation in various fields. We have signed over 30 agreements and MoUs with Egypt covering cooperation in commerce, trade, culture and education etc. With Yemen around 24 agreements and MoUs on cooperation in various sectors have been signed. 7 Our bilateral trade with Egypt is around US$ 249 million. Egypt has invested around $ 2.5 billion in telecom, construction and hoteling. Pakistani businessmen have invested over US$ 50 million in Egypt mainly in the textile business. The two countries have agreed during the JMC Session held in Cairo last year, to enhance cooperation in twenty one sectors including trade, food and beverages, investment, tourism, software technology parks, cement manufacturing, oil and gas exploration, power generation, agriculture, health and automotives.

  • Chapter 5. OVERALL TRANSPORT POLICY
    Pakistan Transport Plan Study in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (PTPS) Chapter 5. OVERALL TRANSPORT POLICY 5.1 Review of Existing Development Plan The Medium Term Development Framework (MTDF) published in May, 2005 declares an ambitious goal for Pakistan to be a developed, industrial, just and prosperous country within 25 years, by attaining 7-8 per cent annual economic growth. To support such rapid growth, MTDF envisages a total investment of about Rs.8.0 trillion during the five years of 2005/06 – 2009/10. The amount corresponds to 1.3 times of GDP in 2004/05. Out of Rs.8 trillion, the fixed investment is Rs.7.3 trillion, of which 65% is expected to come from the private sector and 35% from the public sector. Total investment in the transport sector is planned to be over Rs.573 billion, of which Rs.304 billion is to be by public investment. Prior to discussing a long-term developing policy and strategy of PTPS, the MTDF was reviewed, and summarized in the followings. 5.1.1 Overall Policy and Strategy of MTDF The overall policy and strategy of MTDF are summarized in Table 5.1.1.

  • Chapter 9. PORT PLAN
    Pakistan Transport Plan Study in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (PTPS) Chapter 9. PORT PLAN 9.1 Planning Approach 9.1.1 Function Allotment of Port Activities between Karachi and Qasim Port The ports of Karachi and Qasim have the same hinterland and transportation system. The port of Karachi is in a sense a mature port, opened a century ago. Thus, most of Pakistan's port related functions and assets have been developed here, and now handles 64 % of Pakistan’s seaborne trade and 66 % of the country’s container trade. The port of Qasim, meanwhile, was established in the early 1980’s in order to relieve the heavy congestion at the port of Karachi and was planned to be a maritime industrial cargo handling port. However, at present, the port handles not only industrial cargoes but also container and wheat. As for transportation of valuable general cargoes such as machinery and chemicals, not only economical but also swift, safe and convenient transportation measures are essential. For that purpose, containerization has progressed remarkably in international shipping. This worldwide tendency is expected to take hold in Pakistan also. In 2003/04, a total container volume of about 1.2 million TEUs was handled at the ports of Karachi and Qasim with the specialized container terminals and conventional berths. Container cargo traffic at Karachi port steadily increased from 505,000 TEUs in 1997/98 to 824,000 TEUs in 2003/04. Meanwhile, with a container terminal at the Qasim port, the container handling volume rapidly increased from 133,000 TEUs in 1997/98 to 421,000 TEUs in 2003/04.

It is no doubt that our beloved country had been facing numerous issues since its creation. The initial days were very tough for the newly state but with the blessings of Allah Almighty, it made progress day by day. However, due to conspiracy of external powers and some weaknesses of our leaders, the internal situation of East Pakistan rapidly changed, and the end was painful as we lost not only the land but also our Bengali brothers. After the war of 1971, the people and leaders of Pakistan were forced to rethink the future of the remaining country.

  • The Performance of Nationalism
    The Performance of Nationalism Imagine the patriotic camaraderie of national day parades. How crucial is performance for the sustenance of the nation? The Performance of Nationalism considers the formation of the Indian and Pakistani nation, in the wake of the most violent chapter of its history: the partition of the subcontinent. In the process, Jisha Menon offers a fresh analysis of nationalism from the perspective of performance. Menon recovers the manifold valences of “mimesis”: as aesthetic representation, as the constitution of a community of witnesses, and as the mimetic relationality that underlies the encounter between India and Pakistan. The particular performances considered here range from Wagah border ceremonies, to the partition theatre of Asghar Wajahat, Kirti Jain, M.K. Raina, and the cinema of Ritwik Ghatak and M.S. Sathyu. By pointing to the tropes of twins, doubles, and doppelgängers that suffuse these performances, this study troubles the idea of two insular nation-states of India and Pakistan. In the process, Menon recovers mimetic modes of thinking that unsettle the reii ed categories of identity politics. jisha menon is Assistant Professor of Theatre and Performance Studies at Stanford University.
