Addressing the meeting, he highlighted Pakistan&#39;s strategic geographic location, improving investment climate and commitment to strengthening economic ties with fellow SCO countries.&nbsp; According to the statement, he also underlined the importance of the private sector in unlocking the region&#39;s economic potential through greater cross-border trade, joint ventures and cooperation in key sectors, including industry, agriculture, energy, information technology, logistics and infrastructure. &ldquo;FPCCI Vice President Tariq Khan Jadoon welcomed Pakistan&#39;s selection, saying the federation would work closely with member states to create new opportunities for trade, investment and innovation while promoting inclusive regional growth,&rdquo; added the statement.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistani security sources said on Sunday that initial interrogation of an injured suspect arrested after the deadly attack on a Pakistan Rangers camp in Karachi had revealed alleged links between the attackers and support networks operating from Afghanistan.&nbsp;The development follows Friday&#39;s attack on a Pakistan Rangers (Sindh) camp in Karachi, in which three Rangers personnel were martyred and four others injured after terrorists attempted to storm the facility.&nbsp;According to security sources, the injured suspect told investigators he had travelled from Jalalabad, Afghanistan, and was part of a four-member team that carried out the attack.&nbsp;&ldquo;Evidence of the Afghan Taliban regime&#39;s support to the terrorist organisation Jamaat-ul-Ahrar involved in the cowardly attack on the Pakistan Rangers camp has been revealed,&rdquo; the security sources said.&nbsp;According to the interrogation account released by the sources, the suspect identified himself as Usman Ali and said he had entered Pakistan from Jalalabad along with three other attackers.&nbsp;&ldquo;My name is Usman Ali and I have come from Jalalabad, Afghanistan. I was accompanied by three other companions named Abdul Hadi, Janan and Umar Farooq,&rdquo; the suspect was quoted as saying.&nbsp;He further alleged that one of the attackers, Janan, threw the explosive device at the Rangers camp before the group attempted to breach its perimeter.&nbsp;According to the statement, the suspect also claimed the group had received training in Afghanistan before travelling to Pakistan.&nbsp;&ldquo;We were all trained in Afghanistan... We prepared the suicide bomber jackets ourselves,&rdquo; the suspect allegedly told investigators.&nbsp;&ldquo;The suicide bomber jacket and other training was imparted to us in Afghanistan by Qari Umar. Before coming to Karachi, all arrangements for us were managed and completed from Afghanistan,&rdquo; he was quoted as saying.&nbsp;The claims made by the suspect have been released by security sources and have not been independently verified.&nbsp;Earlier, the military&#39;s media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), said terrorists belonging to what it described as the Indian proxy Jamaat-ul-Ahrar attacked the Pakistan Rangers (Sindh) camp on June 27 after detonating an explosive device at the main entrance.&nbsp;ISPR said Rangers personnel thwarted the assault by killing three attackers and capturing one injured suspect, whom it identified as an Afghan national.&nbsp;&ldquo;Three brave sons of soil rendered the ultimate sacrifice and embraced Shahadat in the line of duty,&rdquo; the military said, adding that four Rangers personnel were also injured during the exchange of fire.&nbsp;Pakistan officially refers to the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as Fitna al-Khawarij, drawing on a historical term associated with violent extremism. Officials say the designation reflects the group&#39;s attacks on civilians and state institutions.&nbsp;The attack comes as Pakistan continues to intensify counterterrorism operations under Azm-e-Istehkam and its cross-border campaign, Operation Ghazab Lil Haq, with officials repeatedly accusing Afghanistan-based terrorist networks of facilitating attacks inside Pakistan.&nbsp;Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said in a post on X that the Karachi attack reflected &ldquo;continued support&rdquo; for terrorist organisations operating against Pakistan and reaffirmed that the country&#39;s counterterrorism operations would continue until terrorist infrastructure was dismantled.&nbsp;ISPR said sanitisation operations were continuing in and around the area to eliminate any remaining terrorists, adding that Pakistan&#39;s counterterrorism campaign would continue &ldquo;at full pace&rdquo; against what it described as foreign-sponsored terrorism.

STOCKHOLM: Several people were injured, including one seriously, when lightning struck a tree at an amusement park in southern Sweden on Sunday, the park and officials said. &quot;Today we had a severe thunderstorm over Tosselilla, which led to several lightning strikes directly in the area. This has resulted in a few people being injured,&quot; the Toselilla Sommarland park said in a post to Facebook. It initially said there were no serious injuries, but local health officials later said a 45-year-old woman was in hospital with &quot;serious injuries&quot;. Two others were taken to hospital by ambulance, while two adults and five children were seeking treatment. &quot;All with minor injuries,&quot; regional health authority Region Skane said in a statement. Public broadcaster SVT reported that the amusement park had anticipated the storm and made sure no visitors were on the rides or in the waterpark pools. However, lightning struck a tree on the site, and a group passing nearby was hit by falling debris. The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) on Sunday issued warnings for large parts of southern Sweden as thunderstorms and heavy rain swept across the region.

NOTTINGHAM: Ben Stokes has announced his retirement as England Test captain and from international cricket, the England and Wales Cricket Board said in a statement issued Sunday.&nbsp;Stokes will end his England career following the conclusion of the ongoing third Test against New Zealand in Nottingham&nbsp;As news spread of the 35-year-old all-rounder&#39;s decision, he received a standing ovation from the crowd at Trent Bridge and there were more cheers shortly afterwards when he dismissed New Zealand&#39;s Zak Foulkes on the fourth day of the third and deciding Test of a three-match series.&nbsp;Sunday&#39;s announcement came after Stokes returned to England duty at Trent Bridge after being omitted from a 253-run defeat in the second Test at the Oval for breaking a midnight curfew, alongside teammate Gus Atkinson, while celebrating at a London nightclub following the first-Test win over New Zealand.&nbsp;&quot;Ben Stokes leaves the international game as one of England&#39;s greatest ever cricketers and one of the defining figures of his generation,&quot; said ECB chairman Richard Thompson.&nbsp;&quot;His performances under pressure, his relentless competitiveness and his ability to produce the extraordinary when it matters most have given me and millions of other fans memories that will endure forever.&nbsp;&quot;Whether inspiring victory in the biggest moments -- not least driving England to World Cup wins in 2019 and 2022 and his heroic Ashes innings at Headingley -- or leading the Test team with courage and conviction, Ben has been a talismanic figure in English cricket.&quot;

TOMBLAINE: A civilian aircraft carrying skydivers crashed near the eastern French town of Tomblaine on Sunday, killing all 11 people on board, local authorities said, in one of France&#39;s deadliest light aircraft accidents. The crash killed five instructors, five students, and the pilot, said Yves Seguy, the prefect of the eastern department of Meurthe-et-Moselle. &quot;There were no bystanders among the victims,&quot; he added, speaking at a press conference. The aircraft, registered in Germany, crashed in a grassy area near the runway of the Nancy-Essey aerodrome, close to a residential area and two roads, an AFP journalist reported. The cause of the incident was not immediately clear. Medical and psychological support teams were caring for relatives of the victims who were present at the airfield, as well as other witnesses. A technical investigation had been opened, said Amaury Lacote, deputy public prosecutor in the eastern city of Nancy. Police urged people on the social media platform X to &quot;strictly avoid&quot; the area around the airport to allow emergency services access. French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez is expected to visit the scene of the accident in the late afternoon, according to his staff.

ISLAMABAD: New Delhi has a decades-long pattern of walking away from, modifying, or unilaterally freezing its international obligations whenever global agreements clash with its strategic ambitions. A Pakistan TV Digital investigation has found that India has bypassed or violated over 100 international commitments. New Delhi&#39;s decision to hold the 65-year-old&nbsp;<a href="https://pakistantv.com/article/indias-suspension-of-indus-waters-treaty-is-worlds-problem" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" rel="noopener noreferrer">Indus Waters Treaty (IWT)</a> in abeyance last year has put this pattern back in focus. The research sorts the violations, suspensions, and delays into three categories: water and border diplomacy, investment and trade treaties, and multilateral frameworks and diplomatic immunities. Water and borders India placed the 65-year-old water sharing agreement with Pakistan into &quot;abeyance&quot; on April 23, 2025, following a regional security crisis. The Court of Arbitration at The Hague rejected India&#39;s argument for suspension just two months later, and by May 2026, the court had finalized its ruling on water control. India called that ruling null and void. This was not the first time India had broken an agreement involving Pakistan. India had already violated the 1972 Simla Agreement by launching Operation Meghdoot on the Siachen Glacier in 1984, and again when it revoked the special status of Jammu and Kashmir in August 2019. Legal experts cite both as earlier departures from the spirit of the Simla Agreement. The pattern is not limited to Pakistan. The 1950 Indo-Nepal Treaty requires bilateral consultations during regional security crises, but New Delhi has repeatedly failed to coordinate with Kathmandu. Bangladesh faced a similar wait. Dhaka ratified the 1974 Land Boundary Agreement with India immediately, while India dragged its feet for four decades, citing domestic legal compulsions. Thousands of residents in border enclaves were left effectively stateless, without basic civil rights, until the agreement was finally implemented in 2015. Even the 1950 Liaquat-Nehru Pact, meant to protect&nbsp;<a href="https://pakistantv.com/article/how-one-indian-states-supermajority-turned-muslims-into-political-targets" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" rel="noopener noreferrer">religious minorities</a> and their property in both countries, went largely unenforced almost as soon as it was signed. Trade and investment Between 2016 and 2017, India terminated between 58 and 77 Bilateral Investment Treaties in a single sweep, a move intended to protect the state from international lawsuits filed by foreign companies. Tax disputes have proven just as contentious. An international tribunal ruled in September 2020 that India&#39;s retrospective tax demand on Vodafone violated global fair-treatment principles, a ruling that New Delhi fought to avoid enforcing. India also withheld a $1.2 billion arbitration award owed to Cairn Energy until the company began pursuing Indian state assets overseas, forcing a settlement in August 2021. In the long-running Devas-Antrix space sector dispute, international tribunals repeatedly struck down India&#39;s domestic fraud rulings, which the government had invoked to refuse to pay arbitration awards. A World Trade Organization panel ruled against India in October 2019 over its export subsidy programs, finding them inconsistent with global trade rules. The WTO has since established a new dispute panel to examine India&#39;s solar tariffs and domestic content requirements following a challenge from China. India&#39;s agricultural stockholding programs have drawn similar criticism for distorting international crop prices. Diplomatic immunity and international courts India stripped American diplomats of long-held privileges in 2013 after an Indian consular official was arrested in New York. The same year, it refused to accord functional immunity to Italian marines during a maritime dispute. When that crisis escalated, India&#39;s Supreme Court banned the Italian Ambassador from leaving the country, a move legal scholars widely called a direct breach of the Vienna Convention. At the International Court of Justice, India relies on a broad set of legal reservations to limit the court&#39;s jurisdiction over it. One such reservation, the so-called Commonwealth Reservation, allowed India to block a case Pakistan brought in 1999 over the shooting down of an unarmed military patrol plane. India&#39;s approach to human rights treaties follows a similar pattern. The country signed the UN Convention Against Torture in October 1997 but has never ratified it, a delay of nearly three decades. Advocacy groups say this has allowed custodial abuse to continue largely unchecked, shielding domestic security forces from the kind of international accountability that ratification would require. <hr style="line-height: 2;"> The article draws on data from Indian and international media reports, as well as research from international think tanks.

PARIS: French health officials said Sunday there had been around 1,000 more deaths than expected during a record-breaking heatwave that has baked much of western Europe for days. &quot;Since June 24, approximately 1,000 <a href="https://www.pakistantv.com/article/at-least-193-mn-in-europe-to-face-temperatures-above-35c-saturday-afp-analysis" target="_blank" style="color:#0073e6;" rel="noopener noreferrer">additional deaths</a> (unconsolidated figures) have been observed compared to the deaths recorded in previous months,&quot; Public Health France said in a statement. The agency said areas under red alert for heat had been particularly badly affected, and 85% of the <a href="https://www.pakistantv.com/article/europe-heatwave-is-price-to-pay-for-fossil-fuel-pollution-un-climate-chief" target="_blank" style="color:#0073e6;" rel="noopener noreferrer">deaths</a> had been those aged 65 and over. The sharpest increases, the agency said, involved people dying at home, especially in the Ile-de-France region that includes Paris and its suburbs. &#39;Likely to be an underestimate&#39;&quot;This observation serves as a reminder of the need for measures of solidarity toward people who are isolated or experiencing profound loneliness, including in highly urbanized areas,&quot; the statement said. The agency stressed that the figures were preliminary and were likely to be an underestimate. The heat eased across France on Sunday after days of punishing temperatures that saw the mercury rising above 40C in many areas.

'Since June 24, approximately 1,000 additional deaths (unconsolidated figures) have been observed compared to the deaths recorded in previous months,' Public Health France said in a statement.

ISLAMABAD: Indian authorities placed farmer union leaders from three states under house arrest Sunday to stop them from joining a youth-led protest movement in New Delhi that has rattled the government and drawn international attention. Security forces detained leaders from Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh before they could travel to join the Cockroach Janta Party&#39;s sit-in at Jantar Mantar, the capital&#39;s designated protest ground, according to the Times of India. The detentions came as the movement prepared to launch its &quot;Pradhan Go Back&quot; campaign demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. How a slur became a movement On May 15, Chief Justice of India Surya Kant compared unemployed youth on social media to &quot;cockroaches&quot; and &quot;parasites of society&quot; during a Supreme Court hearing, according to Al Jazeera. He later said the remark targeted lawyers practicing with fraudulent degrees, not young people broadly. The clarification did not stick. The following day, Abhijeet Dipke, a public relations graduate from Boston University and former Aam Aadmi Party communications strategist, launched the satirical Cockroach Janta Party, according to a deep-dive investigation by BBC. Its Instagram page reached nearly 18 million followers in under a week. The CJP held its first protest at Jantar Mantar on June 6, reported Al Jazeera. By June 20, demonstrators had built a memorial shrine for 17 students who died by suicide amid the scandal-hit NEET-UG medical entrance examination, which was plagued by paper leaks, according to Live Mint. The party&#39;s five demands, listed on its official website, target what it calls structural failures of the Indian state: 1. &nbsp; &nbsp;a ban on retiring Supreme Court judges taking government or parliamentary seats 2. &nbsp; &nbsp;criminal penalties for unauthorized deletion of voter registrations 3. &nbsp; &nbsp;50% women&#39;s representation in Indian parliament and cabinet 4. &nbsp; &nbsp;the cancellation of broadcasting licenses held by media groups owned by Reliance and Adani 5. &nbsp; &nbsp;a 20-year bar on any legislator who switches parties from contesting elections The farmer connection Dipke appealed publicly to farmer unions, arguing students had backed farmers during the 2020-2021 protests that forced the repeal of three agricultural deregulation laws. The Bharatiya Kisan Union and the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) responded with formal support, according to the Deccan Herald. The alliance reflects long-standing rural distress. More than 386,000 people in India&#39;s farming sector died by suicide between 1995 and 2021, according to the National Crime Records Bureau. The NCRB&#39;s 2024 report recorded 10,546 such deaths. Maharashtra alone accounted for 37.6% of the national total, driven by debt among cotton and sugarcane farmers. Farmer unions have separately demanded a legally binding minimum crop price guarantee since 2022, when they rejected a government review panel as biased toward pro-reform interests, according to the Times of India. State response The government&#39;s reaction has been brutal. The Indian Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology blocked the CJP&#39;s account on X under Section 69(A) of the Information Technology Act, citing national security, according to The Hindu. Dipke has challenged the order in the Delhi High Court. Education Minister Pradhan called the CJP a &quot;B-team of terrorists,&quot; reported Hindustan Times. Dipke responded that the minister had &quot;the blood of 17 students on his hands.&quot; Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi demanded a public apology, according to Hindustan Times. Delhi Police declared the protest&#39;s overnight extension illegal and temporarily cut access to electricity, food, and water at the site, according to Metro Vaartha, a digital outlet that has extensively tracked the Cockroach Janta Party. Activists responded by launching a &quot;Diaper Donation Drive,&quot; writing resignation demands on diapers addressed to the Ministry of Education, reported Live Mint.

MARREE: Camels with &quot;a bit of fire in them&quot; raced in a remote Australian outback town this weekend at an annual event celebrating the desert beasts first imported in the mid-19th century. Hundreds of spectators descended on Marree, which has a population of 65 and lies nearly 600 kilometres north of the South Australian capital Adelaide, for a 13-race spectacle on Saturday known as the Marree Camel Cup. More than 10,000 camels were imported into Australia from 1840, many of them released into the wild with the development of railways and then the arrival of motor vehicles in the 1920s. Now, estimates of the wild camel population range from 300,000 to a million animals. Trainer Kyrraley Woodhouse, who started camel racing professionally in 2013, said most of her camels had been taken from the wild to run in the Marree event, which drew more than a dozen competitors. Picking the right animal is key. &quot;You would want a little bit of temper, a little bit of fire in them &ndash; a sort of splashy look in the eye,&quot; Woodhouse told AFP. &quot;They want to be wary of you a little bit but not, like, aggressive,&quot; she added. &quot;We want something sort of like a racehorse, a little bit high strung, a little bit forward &ndash; something that&#39;s got a heart, that&#39;s going to run.&quot; This year&#39;s Marree Camel Cup winner was Young Gun, ridden by Patrick Dennis. Camels in the outback compete with stock for food, destroy fences, foul waterholes and damage Indigenous cultural sites, authorities say. Without management, camel populations could double every eight years, South Australia&#39;s primary industries department says. Camel numbers are kept in check by mustering, shooting and trapping at water points. Australia also exports a small number of live camels: 68 so far in 2026 heading to Malaysia and Indonesia.
