Today, Pakistan is making its mark on the global stage. Despite persistent propaganda from adversaries and hostile elements claiming that peace talks would never happen, the reality tells a different story. As a BBC correspondent noted, regardless of the final outcome, this itself is a significant success for Pakistan.

Earlier the White House made claims about @BBCNews reporting which were wrong. It’s important that accurate journalism is respected, and that governments call for free access to Gaza.
BBC News Press Team@BBCNewsPR
BBC STATEMENT "The claim the BBC took down a story after reviewing footage is completely wrong. We did not remove any story and we stand by our journalism. "Our news stories and headlines about Sunday's aid distribution centre incident were updated throughout the day with the latest fatality figures as they came in from various sources. These were always clearly attributed, from the first figure of 15 from medics, through the 31 killed from the Hamas-run health ministry to the final Red Cross statement of ‘at least 21’ at their field hospital. This is totally normal practice on any fast-moving news story. "Completely separately, a BBC Verify online report on Monday reported a viral video posted on social media was not linked to the aid distribution centre it claimed to show. This video did not run on BBC news channels and had not informed our reporting. Conflating these two stories is simply misleading. "It is vital to bring people the truth about what is happening in Gaza. International journalists are not currently allowed into Gaza and we would welcome the support of the White House in our call for immediate access."
