Colleagues from the Embassy set up a 🇩🇪 food stall, bringing a slice of #Germany to the table at *Taste the World* by IFWA— a true celebration of #CulinaryDiplomacy. From rich flavours to incredible variety, it was a beautiful reminder of how food connects cultures & people.

@81ShahbazRana @JungleLawPak Shows there is no implementation of cabinet decisions

گدھے کے گوشت کی برآمد کی اجاذت میں تاخیر پر چینی کمپنی کی پاکستان چھوڑنے کی دھمکی- ویزراعظم کی مداخلت- آدھے دن میں کابینہ کی منظوری اور برآمد کا اجاذت نامہ آگیا لیکن اقتصادی رابطہ کمیٹی کی منظوری کا فیصلہ کس نے چار دن تک کابینہ کی توثیق سے روکا یہ طے ہو نا باقی

@JungleLawPak Yes

@SenatorSaleem At Pak Suzuki?

Labor is the force that moves a nation. This May 1st, I stand in solidarity with every worker in Pakistan. Your rights are are a fundamental necessity. We must work toward an inclusive economy where no laborer is left behind. Happy Labour Day!

@SaleemFarrukh Very sad state of affairs

CONSTITUION ONE: 1. 200 families 2. Rs20 billion of private capital 3.Developer defaulted on payment for 2 decades 4. Developer violated land use 5. Developer sold units without clear title 6. CDA approved plans 7. CDA allowed construction 8. CDA allowed sale of units 9. Judiciary dragged cases across forums for years 10. Judiciary created false legitimacy 11. Buyers (many) purchased with CDA approvals/NOCs 12. Buyers (mostly) good-faith purchases in most cases

Fuel crosses Rs. 399 — but this is likely not the final adjustment. Effective May 1, 2026 Petrol: Rs. 399.86 (+Rs. 6.51) Diesel: Rs. 399.58 (+Rs. 19.39) Both sitting just under Rs. 400. That number feels significant. But the math behind it tells a different story. Are prices in sync with global markets? Not yet. Brent crude touched $126 a barrel this week — nearly double January levels. Pakistan softened today's increase deliberately. Sources suggest the unfiltered adjustment could have been Rs. 40 per litre. Pakistan rarely escapes global pass-through. It delays it. What to watch next: → Strait of Hormuz — still effectively closed → Oil import bill up from $300M to $800M since the conflict began → Fiscal space to absorb further shocks — nearly exhausted → Next review: around May 9 The real risk is diesel — not petrol. Petrol hits your wallet once. Diesel moves through the entire economy: Trucks → transport costs → food prices → inflation. Every Rs. 19 increase in diesel is not a fuel story. It is a food story. A wage story. A cost-of-living story. Bottom line Today's increase looks managed — not final. If the Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted and global prices hold, Rs. 420–440 by mid-May is a realistic scenario, not a worst case. This is Pakistan's energy dependence showing up — again. And until the geopolitical fire is out, the bill keeps growing.

@81ShahbazRana @Jhagra Well targets are never realistic in budget we should stop making wrong deliberate assumptions in budget

Fuel levy on diesel restored, as tax shortfall widens to Rs683 billion! The International Monetary Fund has allowed Pakistan to pass on the impact of the remaining agreed Rs53-per-litre increase in petroleum levy in two phases, as the tax shortfall of the Federal Board of Revenue has further widened to Rs683 billion in this fiscal year. tribune.com.pk/story/2605770/…

@SaleemFarrukh Yes Farrukh sb some mou turned into agreements during this trip

@SenatorSaleem Best of luck — hope this translates into meaningful outcomes

Today’s MoU signing bridges the gap between Pakistani potential and Chinese innovation. By focusing on ICT and modernizing the tea and mineral industries, we are creating a roadmap for economic self-reliance and job creation.
