Detailed SUMMARY of the Article “Diplomatic Challenge,” Editorial, Dawn, July 29th, 2024

The article discusses the escalating tensions between the US and China and its implications for Pakistan, which maintains significant economic and military ties with both global powers. Given the complexity of its relationships, Pakistan must develop a contingency plan to navigate the potential fallout if relations between the US and China deteriorate further. The recent statement by US diplomat Donald Lu, indicating that the Biden administration had requested $101 million from Congress for Pakistan, and suggesting that the US represents the future for Pakistan over China, underscores the challenges Pakistan faces in maintaining neutrality. The Foreign Office of Pakistan emphasized that Pakistan values its relationships with both nations, describing China as an “all-weather strategic cooperative partner.” The editorial argues that while investment and cooperation from various global players are essential, the US’s $101 million offer is insufficient to shift Pakistan’s strategic alliances. The article advocates for Pakistan to balance its ties with the US and China without compromising its national interests. It also highlights the need for Pakistan to focus on improving relations with its immediate neighbors, including Iran, Afghanistan, China, and India, » Read More…

SUMMARY of the Article “Frozen Ties,” by Maleeha Lodhi, Dawn, July 29th, 2024

The article explores the stagnant state of diplomatic relations between India and Pakistan, highlighting that the prospects for engagement remain bleak. Despite Pakistan hosting a multilateral summit in October as part of its role as the rotational chair of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), there is little hope for a thaw in relations. There is no indication that either side is willing to use this summit as an opportunity for bilateral re-engagement, and it is unlikely that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend. The article also discusses the role of sports as a barometer of diplomatic relations, noting that the strained ties have affected cricket diplomacy. The Indian cricket team is expected to avoid traveling to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025, citing strained relations. Past gestures of goodwill, such as congratulatory messages from Pakistani leaders, have been met with terse responses from India, emphasizing security concerns. Recent accusations by Modi against Pakistan and harsh rhetoric from Indian officials further indicate the deep-seated animosity. The article highlights the contentious issue of Kashmir, where a verbal clash between the two countries followed Pakistan’s reaffirmation of the need to resolve the dispute according to the UN Charter. India’s steadfast refusal to discuss Kashmir presents a significant obstacle to any potential dialogue. » Read More…

SUMMARY of the Article “Re-profiling loans,” Dawn Editorial, July 30th, 2024

The editorial discusses the recent developments in Pakistan’s quest for a $7 billion bailout from the IMF. The finance minister, Muhammad Aurangzeb, announced that Pakistan needs to re-profile its bilateral debt from three close allies – China, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE – for the next three to five years before the IMF can approve the bailout deal. This re-profiling involves extending the maturity period of loans totaling $12 billion to ensure more stable external financing under the IMF’s 37-month Extended Fund Facility. Pakistan has a unique financial arrangement with these countries, involving annual renewals of loans and deposits due to its inability to repay because of a dollar crunch. The nation owes $5 billion to Saudi Arabia, $4 billion to China, and $3 billion to the UAE. While the finance minister is hopeful about securing these extensions, there is skepticism among others. The editorial underscores that even with the IMF funds, Pakistan’s fundamental economic issues remain unresolved. The country struggles with generating sufficient export revenues and attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) to finance its imports and growth. The editorial criticizes the nation’s elites for living luxurious lives on borrowed money and warns that » Read More…

SUMMARY of the Article “A Caring Economy,” by Samia Liaquat Ali Khan, Dawn, July 25th, 2024

The article “A Caring Economy” by Samia Liaquat Ali Khan, published in Dawn on July 25th, 2024, addresses the disproportionate burden of caregiving placed on women and its impact on their participation in the labor force, particularly in South Asia. The World Economic Forum’s 2024 Global Gender Gap Report highlights how this imbalance caused female labor force participation rates to drop during and immediately after the Covid pandemic, with only recent improvements. Research by the World Bank indicates that extended maternity leave often leads to women not returning to work, while extended paternity leave for men positively influences women’s re-entry into the labor market. In Pakistan, many companies are hesitant to employ women due to perceived short-term financial costs and the need for ‘special’ treatment in a male-dominated environment. Women face numerous barriers to entering and staying in the workforce, including discriminatory job advertisements and interview practices, societal expectations regarding marriage and motherhood, and lack of support at home. As a result, women often leave the workforce, leading to a significant gender disparity in senior management positions. The article argues that societal perceptions of gender roles need fundamental reconfiguration, emphasizing the undervalued but crucial nature of care work. Economists Naila Kabeer and Nancy Folbre have highlighted the economic productivity of care work, which enhances human capabilities but is poorly compensated. The article suggests rewarding men for caregiving roles and providing better economic opportunities for women. Policies like flexible work hours, child care options, mandated paternity leave, and encouraging men’s involvement in caregiving are » Read More…

SUMMARY of the Article “Urban Flooding,” by Dr Noman Ahmed, Dawn, July 25th, 2024

The article by Dr. Noman Ahmed addresses the critical issue of urban flooding in Karachi, particularly in light of the expected torrential rains in early August. Various government tiers, including the chief minister and the president, have emphasized the need for immediate and effective preparations to mitigate the damage caused by flooding. The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) is tasked with managing the main storm drains but faces significant challenges due to limited financial and technical resources. One of the primary causes of urban flooding is the uncoordinated real estate development, especially in areas designated for livestock rearing, urban farming, and forestation. Anti-encroachment efforts have largely failed to improve water drainage. Historically, Karachi’s development, including its storm drainage system, was well-planned during the British colonial period, integrating land surveys and rainfall assessments to manage rainwater effectively. However, these practices were not institutionalized post-independence, leading to the current dysfunction. The idea of using the sewerage system for rainwater disposal is also problematic due to the informal settlements along major nullahs. Illegal sand mining, encroachments, and the dumping of solid waste have further disrupted the natural and manmade storm drains, reducing their capacity. The article underscores the need for comprehensive solutions, including regular maintenance of drainage systems, prevention of waste dumping, strengthening of embankments, dredging of watercourses, and the separation of sewerage from drainage systems.
