Pakistan has made serious progress in reaching the point at which it can look to the future with some hope

I have a list of a scores of leaders who have shaped Pakistan. Of these only one was a woman

Pakistan should be spending at least 15 per cent of its growing GDP on building infrastructure

It seems that US-dominated system of international finance created 70 years ago does not fully meet China’s needs

Focus of the people in tribal areas should be on developing skills which will help them progress in life

A paradigm shift in strategy is needed with focus on the region’s abundant resource — its growing young population

Improving the quality and reach of education, therefore, needs a combination of policy initiatives

Islamabad and Kabul should establish a development authority for rapid social transformation of the tribal people

Durable peace only returns once the grievances that supported the rebels are fully addressed

Sustained development is the only way of dealing with insurgencies that draw their strength from widespread discontent
