By Sifi Gharib The Algerian government has announced a new regulatory phase for the investment system, reducing the processing time for investor files to 15 days as a general rule, and to 20 days for classified establishments. The Algerian Investment Development Agency (ADIA) is now obliged to respond to requests for economic real estate within 48 hours of its board’s decision. The move is intended to eliminate procedural delays, unify administrative channels, and accelerate the conversion of registered projects into tangible productive activity. These directives were outlined in a speech by Prime Minister Sifi Gharib during the opening of a…

By Dr Zawwar Hussain In the 21st century, climate change is no longer merely a scientific term; it has become one of the greatest global challenges affecting human life, urban planning, agriculture, economies and public health. Rising heatwaves across the world have pushed urban temperatures to dangerous levels. Modern research now confirms that extreme heat does not disappear after sunset; instead, cities continue to radiate heat throughout the night. This reality is raising serious questions about traditional urban park design and green infrastructure planning. A significant study conducted by researchers at Concordia University in Montreal examined 13 urban parks and…

By Faraz Mustafa The confrontation between Iran, the United States and Israel has begun to register far beyond the immediate geography of the Middle East, feeding into a wider sense of economic unease that is now being felt in households and markets across the world. What might once have been contained within diplomatic cables and regional security briefings is now translating into price shocks, supply anxieties and a renewed fear that the global economy, already strained by years of disruption, is drifting towards another period of instability. At the center of this unfolding pressure is the price of oil. Energy…

By Pervaiz Mughal ISLAMABAD: The Galiyat Development Authority (GDA), under the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has signed a 100-year partnership with a private consortium to develop what is being described as Pakistan’s first purpose-planned mountain destination at Thandiani Top.

The visit of US President Donald Trump to China may officially be over, but the political aftershocks of the trip are only beginning to unfold. What appeared on the surface to be another carefully choreographed summit between two global powers increasingly looks like something far more revealing: a subtle but unmistakable display of how dramatically the balance of confidence between Washington and Beijing has shifted. In recent years, Trump has built his political identity around dominance. Whether addressing allies, rivals or domestic audiences, he prefers diplomacy conducted through spectacle, unpredictability and visible assertions of authority. He is most comfortable in…

By Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal As the bus rolled out of Lahore bound for Islamabad on that fateful morning, it carried within it something more than passengers and luggage. It was, in its own quiet way, a moving portrait of society itself. Men and women of different ages, backgrounds and stations in life sat side by side, each absorbed in their private calculations of duty, hope and routine. Some were travelling for business meetings in the capital, others to see relatives they had not met for months, and a few were chasing the faint promise of better opportunities. The air inside…

By Amir Muhammad Khan According to statistics and a government announcement, in April overseas Pakistanis sent $3.25 billion to Pakistan, while in early May the IMF disbursed $1.3 billion to Pakistan as part of instalments of loans already agreed with the Fund. The IMF places emphasis on setting prices for electricity, petrol and other essentials as a condition for lending, as a result of which people have the right to raise their voices against the government. If inflation increases due to petrol, that is a separate matter. On the other hand, the unrestrained opposition and fake social media accounts all…

By Faraz Jamali As widely recognized, the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) remains the largest political party in Sindh. It was founded by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto on 30 November 1967, and since then it has consistently been seen as the dominant political and governing force in the province. The PPP is not only a major party in Sindh but also one of the largest political parties in Pakistan. However, since the focus here is Sindh, it is fair to say that the PPP continues to hold central political power in the province. Although the party was created by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto,…
