She highlighted IT’s role in the Pakistan-Saudi agreement, economic stability, and the Digital Pakistan drive aimed at digitalisation, a cashless economy, and boosting exports.

At the UNGA, US President Donald Trump rejected global recognition of Palestine and hosted a meeting with Muslim-majority leaders — including Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif and FM Ishaq Dar — to push Washington’s Gaza peace plan.

Joined by leaders from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Egypt, Jordan, Türkiye, and Indonesia, Trump urged swift action to free hostages and end the conflict, calling the talks “very important.” Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim thanked him for the initiative.

Israeli strikes since October 2023 have killed over 65,000 in Gaza following Hamas’s attack.

Pakistan has extended its airspace ban on all Indian-registered and Indian-operated aircraft, including military flights, until October 23, the Pakistan Airports Authority announced.

The restriction, imposed after India suspended the Indus Water Treaty and escalated cross-border tensions following the Pahalgam attack in IIOJK, has now lasted 210 days. India had also barred Pakistani flights in retaliation.

The airspace closure comes against the backdrop of recent military hostilities, with India carrying out strikes on Pakistani cities and Pakistan responding through “Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos,” targeting Indian military sites.
