Stay updated with the latest news from Pakistan and around the world! The strike by the Joint Awami Action Committee in Azad Jammu and Kashmir has entered its third day, causing widespread disruption in Muzaffarabad. Protesters are marching towards the capital, facing government roadblocks, clashes, and injuries. Despite government promises to address their demands, talks remain inconclusive, with government offices and educational institutions closed. Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar is visiting China for the fifth round of the China-Pakistan Foreign Ministers’ Strategic Dialogue, aiming to enhance strategic communication, deepen cooperation, and upgrade the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb emphasizes the need for privatization, stating there are no "strategic state-owned enterprises" (SOEs) and highlighting plans to digitize the tax collection system to broaden the tax base and integrate the undocumented economy.
Formal discussions with the IMF have begun, focusing on financial reforms and aiming to agree on no loans from the State Bank next year, timely external payments, tax refunds, improved reserves, and issuing bonds. These discussions will continue for about two weeks, focusing on a new loan program and the upcoming budget. Additionally, over 9,844 Pakistani Hajj pilgrims have arrived in Madinah under the government scheme, with the Ministry of Religious Affairs making extensive arrangements for their journey, including training sessions, transportation, meals, and healthcare facilities.
