🌍💸🇵🇰 Overseas Pakistanis Power Economy with $38bn in Annual Remittances
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has hailed overseas Pakistanis as the backbone of the national economy, highlighting that they send home over $38 billion in remittances each year.
These inflows are crucial for Pakistan, helping stabilise foreign exchange reserves, narrow the current account gap, support household consumption, and reduce reliance on external borrowing. During periods of economic pressure, remittances often act as a shock absorber, providing steady dollar inflows when exports or investments slow.
To further strengthen this lifeline, Pakistan needs to offer stronger financial security and investor confidence to overseas Pakistanis. Clear policies, protection of capital, transparent taxation, and reliable legal safeguards can encourage the diaspora to invest more in real estate, industry, startups, and infrastructure, rather than limiting their contribution to remittances alone.

⚡️🇮🇳 This incident took place in India when Chief Minister Nitish Kumar attempted to remove a Muslim woman’s veil while presenting her with an award for excellence in medicine.
People fail to realise that this is exactly what Muhammad Ali Jinnah had foreseen. He understood the challenges Muslims would face and worked to protect us from such situations.
Indian Muslims were given the option to migrate to Pakistan, yet those who chose to remain are now experiencing the consequences of that decision. Had it not been for Jinnah and his companions, we Pakistanis would likely have faced similar treatment.
This is precisely why the Two-Nation Theory exists.
Alhamdulillah for Pakistan. Long live my beautiful nation 🇵🇰

🚨🇵🇰🤝🇱🇾 BREAKING: Pakistan Secures Major Multi-Billion Dollar Defence Deal with Libyan National Army
Pakistan has reached a massive defence agreement valued at over 4 billion dollars with the Libyan National Army, following a high-level meeting in Benghazi between Pakistan’s COAS / CDF General Asim Munir and LNA Deputy Commander Saddam Khalifa Haftar.
This is being described as one of Pakistan’s largest weapons export deals to date and includes land, air and naval capabilities, with the possibility of JF-17 fighter jets also forming part of the package.
Pakistani officials stated that this agreement does not violate UN restrictions. While the embargo technically exists, Pakistan has clarified that it does not apply to this category of defence sales under the way the deal has been structured.
Libya and Pakistan share historic ties and deep brotherhood, and this deal stands as a remarkable testament to their long-standing relationship, mutual respect and growing defence cooperation.

🇵🇰 25th December – Honouring the Father of the Nation, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Today we remember the man who gave us identity, dignity and a homeland, the Father of the Nation, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. A leader whose determination, vision and courage carved Pakistan onto the map of the world.
Quaid… the nation misses you deeply. We truly wish you had lived longer… to guide what you created, to lead this nation to the heights it deserved, and to shape Pakistan into exactly what you dreamed for us. Your principles of Unity, Faith and Discipline remain a light for us, even today.
We owe you for every breath we take in a free homeland. Your struggle, sacrifice and leadership will never be forgotten.
May Allah grant you Jannatul Firdous. Ameen. 🇵🇰🤍
Pakistan Zindabad!

🇵🇰🇹🇷🇸🇦 A New Muslim Security Architecture in the Making?
According to Reuters and Bloomberg, Türkiye is exploring the possibility of joining the Pakistan–Saudi Arabia mutual defence framework. If this materialises, it could mark the first real step toward a Muslim collective security bloc something resembling a Muslim-NATO.
Let’s be clear: this is not yet final, but the direction alone is geopolitically massive.
🔹 Why this matters
This isn’t just another defence MoU. What’s being discussed has Article-5-style style implications:
Attack one, and you provoke a collective response.
That principle alone would fundamentally change the strategic calculations of anyone threatening the Muslim world.
🔹 The strategic balance
Each country brings something critical to the table:
🇵🇰 Pakistan
- A battle-hardened military, actively engaged in counter-terrorism
- Decades of real combat experience, not just theory
- Nuclear capability, providing ultimate strategic deterrence
🇹🇷 Türkiye
- A rapidly advancing military-industrial base
- Indigenous drones, missiles, naval platforms, and air defence systems
- Strategic access to Europe, the Black Sea, and the Middle East
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia
- Financial and energy power
- Ability to sustain long-term defence infrastructure
- Strategic depth in the Arab and Islamic world
Manpower. Technology. Resources.
That is a complete security ecosystem.
🔹 A reality check
Yes, Türkiye and Saudi Arabia do not align on every regional issue. Their policies have clashed before, and that cannot be ignored.
However, Pakistan is uniquely positioned here:
- Trusted by Riyadh for decades, dating back to Pakistan’s founding
- Bound to Türkiye through deep historical, military, and economic ties
- Viewed by both as a neutral, reliable stabilising force
If anyone can act as the glue, it’s Pakistan not that it can intervene in their rivalry but rather bring them together on the table and apply diplomacy.
🔹 The bigger picture
NATO started with just a handful of countries. Expansion came later.
Now imagine a similar framework, exclusive to Muslim countries.
A unified defence umbrella based on collective security, not nationalism, but Ummah-centric security, would return the Muslim world to the global stage as a serious, unignorable force.
Not to threaten others.
Not to destabilise regions.
But to ensure security, deterrence, and sovereignty.
🔹 Final thought
Türkiye’s technology.
Pakistan’s manpower, experience, and deterrence.
Saudi Arabia’s economic and energy strength.
If Riyadh and Ankara resolve their differences, this triad could become the foundation of the most powerful Muslim security alliance in modern history.
From Pakistan’s perspective?
This is strategically brilliant and should be pursued decisively.
The world is changing.
And for once, the Muslim world may be changing together.
🔹 A note on realism and expectations
It’s important to be clear-eyed about this.
The Muslim world is not monolithic. Every Muslim country has its own political system, priorities, alliances, and way of doing things. Differences of opinion are natural and completely understandable. It’s unrealistic to expect that every Muslim country would immediately line up and say “yes, we want to join”.
There will be pushback.
There will be disagreements.
There will be political friction.
This is exactly what NATO experienced in its early years and throughout its expansion phases and any emerging alliance of this nature would face the same growing pains.
We’ve already seen discussions and speculation around other countries like Qatar potentially showing interest in deeper defence coordination. That alone tells us this is an evolving process, not something that happens overnight.
For now, the Pakistan–Saudi Arabia mutual defence agreement, signed last year, remains untested and given current global dynamics, there has been no situation requiring it to be tested.
