Major Cooperation on the Cards
Canada’s global leadership in mining services, exploration technologies and responsible mining standards can be a game-changer if translated into real partnerships on the ground. Agriculture is another pillar where Pakistan–Canada cooperation can deliver quick and visible dividends. Progress on the Pakistan–Canada Bilateral Investment Treaty must therefore be treated as an economic priority, not a bureaucratic exercise. Institutional linkages, business-to-business matchmaking and technical cooperation will only matter if Pakistan aligns its domestic policies with its international ambitions. If Islamabad can provide a credible, investor-friendly framework, Canada’s engagement could help Pakistan diversify exports, upgrade technology and build sustainable growth.

Living in the age of impressions
By Sardar Khan NiaziWe live in a society that increasingly values the appearance of reality over reality itself. In today’s Pakistan, impressions — carefully curated, emotionally charged and often misleading — have begun to matter more than facts, substance and lived experience. From politics to piety, from patriotism to personal success, what seems to be true now frequently outweighs what is true. This is not merely a cultural shift; it is a structural one, accelerated by social media, 24-hour news cycles and a deepening crisis of trust in institutions. Media institutions, once expected to mediate between reality and the public, often amplify the problem.

Nature’s First Line of Defense
Stretching from the Indus Delta to the coastal lagoons of Balochistan, Pakistan’s wetlands mangroves, estuaries, tidal flats, and marshes form a living barrier between land and sea. As sea levels rise and climate events intensify, the role of wetlands as natural shock absorbers becomes more crucial than any man-made seawall. On World Wetlands Day, Federal Minister for Maritime Affairs Muhammad Junaid Anwar Chaudhry delivered a timely and vital reminder: Pakistan’s wetlands are not just ecological treasures; they are the country’s first line of defense against climate change, economic instability, and marine degradation. Yet despite their importance, Pakistan’s wetlands remain under threat from unchecked development, pollution, illegal encroachment, and deforestation. Mangrove restoration, wetland mapping, sustainable fishing regulations, and coastal zoning laws should be national priorities.
