    Governor : Mr. Tariq Bajwa Title : SBP’s 70th Anniversary: Welcome Note by Governor SBP Date : July 01, 2018 Event : State Bank of Pakistan’s 70-year Celebration Event Venue : SBP Head Office Karachi. State Bank of Pakistan’s 70th Anniversary Welcome Note by Governor SBP Governor Sindh Mr. Zubair, Honorable Finance Minister, Dr Shamshad Akhtar, Respectable Former Governors, State Bank of Pakistan, Dr. Ishrat Husain, Mr. Yasin Anwar, Mr. Ashraf Wathra Distinguished guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, Assalam-o-aliakum and a very good morning! It is my pleasant duty and distinct privilege to welcome you all to the 70th anniversary of the establishment of State Bank of Pakistan. On the auspicious occasion of the opening of the SBP on July 1st, 1948, the Quaid said: “The opening of State Bank of Pakistan symbolizes the sovereignty of our state in the financial sphere. I need to hardly dilate on the important role the State Bank will have to play in regulating the economic life of our country. The monetary policy of the bank will have a direct bearing on our trade and commerce, both inside Pakistan as well as with the outside world and it is only to be desired that our policy should encourage maximum production and free flow of trade.” Page 1 of 4 The SBP as an institution has tried to live up to the expectations of the Quaid. From a modest beginning in borrowed premises, ladies and gentlemen, SBP rose to have earned the reputation of being a professional, progressive and forward-looking institution. The journey has been challenging, arduous, but rewarding.

Dutton Series Overview This China Maritime Report on Gwadar is the second in a series of case studies on China’s Indian Ocean “strategic strongpoints” (战略支点). People’s Republic of China (PRC) officials, military officers, and civilian analysts use the strategic strongpoint concept to describe certain strategically valuable foreign ports with terminals and commercial zones owned and operated by Chinese firms.1 Each case study analyzes a different port on the Indian Ocean, selected to capture geographic, commercial, and strategic variation.2 Each employs the same analytic method, drawing on Chinese official sources, scholarship, and industry reporting to present a descriptive account of the port, its transport infrastructure, the markets and resources it accesses, and its naval and military utility.

  • Public Diplomacy Between Pakistan and India: an Analysis
    Pak. Journal of Int’L Affairs, Vol 2, Issue 1 (2019) Public Diplomacy between Pakistan… PUBLIC DIPLOMACY BETWEEN PAKISTAN AND INDIA: AN ANALYSIS Saeed Khan, Research Scholar, Department of International Relations, Federal Urdu University, Karachi Amna Ameer Ali, Research Scholar, Department of International Relations, Federal Urdu University, Karachi ([email protected]) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ABSTRACT Pakistan and India are known as great rival countries with a bitter past. There is a huge historical background of both countries. Infact, several wars have been fought between Pakistan and India, so the diplomatic relations between Indo-Pak are influenced by the number of political and historical events. But both countries tried so hard to maintain peace and there are some examples of these efforts. It is very important for both countries to maintain good relations because geopolitically Pakistan and India are considered as major states for natural resources in the region of South Asia. The whole world sees both countries as great rivals, but before making any decision there are a lot of perspectives which we need to examine carefully. This paper will explain some of the major events of diplomatic relations between Pakistan and India. KEYWORDS: Pakistan, India, Diplomacy, War, South Asia INTRODUCTION Pakistan and India are two neighboring states, both fully equipped with nukes but unfortunately, they never sustained the durable, friendly and long lasting peaceful relation with each other. The reason behind that situation is disbelief and mistrust between these two arch rivals. So far, four wars have been fought between India and Pakistan and this is the root cause of uncertainty among both countries.
