The motive of this evaluation is to present with a preassessment on the political situation of Sialkot city for the General Elections 2018. Past statistical profile reveals the prolonged domination of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) throughout the series of past few elections, but the momentous development of Pakistan Tahreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) is considered to be defaming the former. Facts and figures of political ground of Sialkot have been collected and systematically organized by use of valid Statistical approaches of higher confidence level.

  • National Security Council of Pakistan
    National Security Council of Pakistan BACKGROUND GUIDE CHAIR: Joe Reed Coy Sanchez-Sponsler Dear Honorable Delegates, I have enjoyed being a part of the Model United Nations team at Stanford, always intrigued in anything concerning politics and power dynamics and regularly deprived of it as a chemical engineering student. Less academically speaking, I pursue string and vocal music as a cellist and bass and spend as much time as I can in the making of useful and/or beautiful things. As your Chair this conference and on the behalf of the rest of the PacMUN community and staff, I would like to extend a warm welcome to PacMUN 2017. This year in particular, with a global joint-crisis format and intricate recent events to develop, we look forward to vibrant debate and conversation on the political world. Functioning as prominent contemporary political figures engaging in diplomacy and negotiations, you will have the opportunity to jointly craft the policy of the National Security Council of Pakistan, a highly influential institution welding the heavyweights of Pakistan’s military and civil government leadership. Introduction to Committee The National Security Council of Pakistan (NSC) has had a tumultuous history as an agency since its conception under General Yahya Khan in 1969. Originally a part of the office of the President and Chief Martial Law Administrator, in 1984 the NSC’s first legal mainstay, article 152A, was proposed as part of the Revival of the Constitution Order (RCO) to provide for military influence of the civil government. A large departure from the Pakistani military’s previously apolitical stance, General Zia-ul-Haq’s move drew criticism from major political factions, the NSC having been sharply curtailed in 1972 after Bhutto’s civilian rise to power in 1971.

  • The Islamic Republic of Pakistan Ambassador's Message
    of THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF PAKISTAN EMBASSY AMBASSADOR’S MESSAGE NEWSLETTER JULY 2017 his being my first contact with the subscribers through the Newsletter, I wish to share a distinct sense of pride and responsibility that comes with this assignment as T Ambassador of Pakistan to the United States. Pak-US relations form a most resilient aspect of Pakistan’s foreign policy. It has survived multiple tests of time, over the past seven decades. I have been entrusted with the mandate to deepen this bilateral relationship and was honoured to convey the same message to Honorable President Donald J. Trump upon presentation of credentials on April 24, 2017. Pakistan, over the past three years, has made notable achievements, both in the security and economic domains. The threat of terrorism has been effectively countered. The improved………… security.. situation has had a salutary impact on the upward economic trajectory of the country. It will be my onerous responsibility to bring the people of the United States up to speed with the positive reality of today’s Pakistan. The Newsletter encapsulates a glimpse of my outreach to the U.S. Government, administration, think tanks, academia, media and legislators. Pakistan’s biggest resource in the U.S. is a proud Pakistani-American community, which has not only contributed to the development of this country but also continues to serve as true ambassadors to Pakistan. The Embassy and the four Pakistani Consulates in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston stand ready in the service of our country and our community. Provision of efficient consular services will remain a high priority for us.
