Nation celebrates Youm-e-Takbeer in commemoration of Pakistan's historic nuclear testsThe Silver Jubilee anniversary of Pakistan’s nuclear tests conducted 25 years ago on May 28,1998 was observed on Sunday. The nuclear tests made Pakistan the seventh nuclear nation of the world and the first Muslim state, having the nuclear arsenal in its defense stockpile. The tests not only demonstrated the resolve of the Pakistani nation to safeguard Pakistan’s territorial integrity, independence and sovereignty, but also the desire to preserve strategic balance in South Asia. The historic statement of former Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto that they would starve but transform the country into a nuclear power, led to achievement of this milestone. On that day, the Pakistani leadership, notwithstanding external pressures and Indian hegemonic designs to tilt power balance through its nuclear tests, opted courageously in 1998 to respond, and restored the power balance in South Asia by conducting nuclear tests.

Curbs on black market can push remittances to $50b
Inflows trend suggests that the remittances may total $31 billion in the full fiscal year 2021-22, an official said. Photo: fileForeign remittance service providers have voiced optimism that Pakistan’s remittances can surpass $50 billion per annum, if authorities restrain the black market, which they believe constitutes nearly 80% of the total market. They point out the black market or illegal ways of sending remittances, commonly known as Hundi and Hawala in Pakistan, are a global phenomenon. Speaking to The Express Tribune, Hafiz estimated that remittances to Pakistan would likely remain around $26 billion to $27 billion in the current fiscal year. Many believe the figure should rise at a steady pace since more than 10 million Pakistanis live overseas, of which 65% regularly send money back to their home country.
