🇨🇳🇵🇰Good news: A Pakistani astronaut will become the first foreign astronaut to enter China’s space station!
As China and Pakistan mark the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations, bilateral ties are entering a new chapter. China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson announced that having the Pakistani astronaut on board China’s spaceship will mark the first ever joint mission of Chinese and foreign astronauts in the history of China’s manned space program. The Pakistani astronaut will be the first foreign astronaut to step into China’s space station.
From generations of friendship to shared dreams in space, this historic mission brings our two peoples closer, inspires young minds and opens new horizons for scientific cooperation. 75 years of friendship. One shared journey. A future among the stars.✨

On the directive of PM Shahbaz Sharif, I, along with Secretary of Religious Affairs & Interfaith Harmony, visited Gurdawara Darbar Sahab, Kartarpur to evaluate the existing 2025 flood damage and determine key restoration requirements. Restoring the sacred building is a top priority for the PM and the Government.
Every visit to Kartarpur is a profound experience. Narowal is home to diverse faiths—a true testament to the peaceful co-existence Quaid-e-Azam envisioned when he declared: "You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques..."
I have always tried to uphold this core ideology - a nation where all citizens enjoy freedom without fear. I have been a victim of hate and I deeply understand its consequences. This personal experience fuels my resolve to ensure that no individual or community in our country ever feels vulnerable simply for who they are or what they believe.
Starting from Narowal and extending across the whole of Pakistan, my commitment is to replace division with empathy and fear with security. Our founding fathers built this nation on the promise of inclusion, dignity, and peace for all. We owe it to their legacy—and to future generations—to defend that promise at every turn.
Our founding fathers created this nation for a reason—we must never lose sight of why Pakistan was created.

آج 2025ء کے سیلاب سے گوردوارہ دربار صاحب کرتارپور کو پہنچنے والے نقصانات کا جائزہ لینے کے لیے نارووال کا دورہ کیا۔
سیکرٹری مذہبی امور، FWO اور نیسپاک کے افسران کے ساتھ آن سائٹ اجلاس میں بحالی کے تقاضوں پر بریفنگ لی، اور متاثرہ پل و عمارتوں کا خود معائنہ کیا۔ اس مقدس ورثے کی جلد از جلد اور پائیدار بحالی ہماری اولین ترجیح ہے۔

آج کا دن نارووال میں کرتار پور میں گزرا! سیکرٹری مذہبی امور کی ساتھ سائٹ کا دورہ کیا تاکہ وہاں ہونے والے نقصان کا جائزہ لیا جا سکے۔
موقع پر ہی میٹنگ کی اور دیکھا کہ عمارت کی بحالی اور مرمت کے لیے کیا کچھ ضروری ہے۔ کرتار پور ایک بہت خاص اور مقدس جگہ ہے، اس لیے ہماری پوری کوشش ہے کہ مرمتی کام بنا کسی تاخیر کے جلد از جلد مکمل کیا جائے۔

A massive crowd at the Pakistan Development Squad vs China hockey match in Narowal is an encouraging sign for Pakistan hockey.
In recent years, it has been rare to witness such a turnout for hockey. This response suggests people are once again taking an interest in the sport.
Now, the challenge is to build on this momentum.

ضلع موسیٰ خیل، بلوچستان سے تعلق رکھنے والے باصلاحیت نوجوان محمد لقمان جعفر کا یہ محبت بھرا پیغام سن کر دل کو دلی خوشی اور طمانیت ہوئی۔ یونیورسٹی آف نارووال سے انگلش لٹریچر میں ڈگری مکمل کر کے وہ اور ان کے ساتھی نہ صرف اپنے علاقے کا نام روشن کر رہے ہیں بلکہ یہ ثابت کر رہے ہیں کہ پاکستان کے تمام صوبے ایک لڑی میں پروئے ہوئے ہیں۔
ہم نے ہمیشہ بلوچستان کے طلبہ کو اپنے مہمان کی طرح سمجھا ہے اور ان کے لیے ہاسٹل و تعلیمی سہولیات کو اولین ترجیح بنایا ہے تاکہ کسی بھی طالبعلم کو پردیس کا احساس نہ ہو۔ لقمان اور ان کے ساتھیوں کو گریجویشن پر دلی مبارکباد؛ مجھے پختہ یقین ہے کہ یہی باہنر اور تعلیم یافتہ نوجوان آگے چل کر بلوچستان کے مسائل حل کریں گے اور ملکی ترقی میں اپنا بھرپور کردار ادا کریں گے۔
