CDA to process land transfer abroad
According to sources, the ambassador had purchased the Chak Shahzad plot over three decades ago during his diplomatic posting in Islamabad. Upon completion of his assignment, he returned to his home country, where he later passed away.
After his death, the Gulf nation formally requested the Government of Pakistan to facilitate the transfer of the property to the nominee named by the late ambassador's family. Acting on the instructions of the Ministry of Interior, Capital Development Authority (CDA) Chairman Muhammad Ali Randhawa approved the dispatch of a three-member team to the Pakistani embassy in that Gulf country. The team will carry out the formal transfer of ownership in favour of the nominated heir.
A CDA official clarified that the deceased ambassador's family will fully bear all costs related to the CDA delegation's visit abroad. Not a single rupee of public funds will be spent for this purpose, he maintained.

Intermediate certificates poised for global recognition
Executive Director of the Inter Board Coordination Commission (IBCC) Dr Ghulam Ali Mallah has announced that Pakistani intermediate certificates will soon be directly accepted for admissions in foreign educational institutions. Speaking to The Express Tribune in an exclusive interview, he revealed several reforms aimed at digitising the certification and verification process. Dr Mallah confirmed that IBCC was in active consultation with the UK's ECCTIS to have Pakistani intermediate certificates recognised for direct university admissions in the UK, adding that progress was also being made with other countries and foreign boards. "The goal of IBCC is to protect the integrity of educational qualifications in Pakistan," he noted. He said the longstanding requirement of sealed verification envelopes from various education boards has been abolished. All 29 education and technical boards in Pakistan have now initiated online verification systems. He added that the online verification of religious seminary credentials will also begin soon. To streamline paperwork and processing times, IBCC has launched an online application system for equivalence and attestation, through which certificates are now issued with QR-code-based authentication. "In 2023, the Inter-Boards Committee of Chairman was transformed into the Inter-Board Coordination Commission through an Act of Parliament, giving it a new direction," Dr Mallah said. He said that IBCC now regulates foreign educational qualifications in Pakistan and has developed a regulatory framework for foreign boards, which are being registered through an active online portal. "We assess foreign boards based on 15 well-defined criteria. Our goal is to ensure that only credible qualifications are recognised for equivalence in Pakistan," he added. Dr Mallah joined the IBCC as secretary on October 19, 2020, initially for a two-year contract, which was later extended by three years due to his performance. Under the Act, his current appointment is a permanent transfer, with his tenure now protected until retirement, following a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from his parent university. Among the key digital reforms, automated verification portals have been launched for universities and institutions, enabling real-time updates via SMS and email notifications for every application submitted to the IBCC. A central database for educational records is also being developed. Public facilitation services such as social media support, a helpline, and customer care desks have been introduced to handle queries and complaints efficiently. Dr Mallah said that one of his primary goals after taking charge was to strengthen the legal standing of the IBCC. He actively consulted with lawmakers, provincial boards, legal experts and education stakeholders to draft and advocate the IBCC Act, which now provides a robust framework for equivalence, attestation, and inter-board coordination. "This legislation has significantly enhanced IBCC's credibility and operational performance," he noted. He credited administrative reforms for improving the commission's overall efficiency, introducing a performance review system for staff and enhancing inter-departmental coordination. The changes have improved service delivery and restored public trust in IBCC. Major reforms under his leadership include introducing conceptual and practical assessment models to move beyond rote learning, launching a model assessment framework to standardise evaluation across all boards and implementing a new grading scheme aimed at reflecting real student performance and reducing societal pressure on students for higher marks. Moreover, the "supplementary exam" label has also been replaced with a "second annual examination", giving students two opportunities a year to improve their results. Similarly, other reforms include proposing enhanced re-evaluation options for students, creating standardised academic calendars across all Boards of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISEs) and organising teacher training programmes to improve assessment standards.

Pakistan, China partner to boost economy
Minister for Planning Ahsan Iqbal has said the goal of 'Uraan Pakistan' is to make Pakistan a one-trillion-dollar economy by 2035. In a step toward that ambition, an agreement was reached on Sunday between the Ministry of Planning and China's Development Research Center (DRC) to enhance economic cooperation. The understanding was formalized during a meeting between Minister Ahsan Iqbal and Lu Hao, President of China's Development Research Center (DRC) and Center for International Knowledge on Development (CIKD). Uraan Pakistan is a national initiative aimed at transforming Pakistan into one of the world's leading economies by prioritizing innovation, inclusivity, and sustainability. Guided by the 5Es Framework, it focuses on five critical areas: exports, digital transformation, environment and climate change, energy and infrastructure development, and equity and empowerment. The initiative seeks to diversify the economy and enhance Pakistan's global market position through export growth. Through joint research, training programs, and expert exchanges, China will assist Pakistan in strengthening its economic foundations. Hao expressed confidence in Pakistan's strategy to become an export-oriented economy. "Strong economic cooperation between Pakistan and China is the key to national development," said Ahsan Iqbal. "CPEC has transformed the everlasting friendship into an economic and social partnership beyond political cooperation," he stated. Iqbal emphasized Pakistan's intent to draw lessons from China's economic growth and reforms. "Pakistan is eager to learn from China's economic and reform successes," he said. "China's scientific planning is a guiding light for long-term and sustainable economic development." Speaking about the domestic economic outlook, Iqbal said the government's "Uraan Pakistan" initiative is aimed at stabilizing and growing the national economy. "Through the Uraan Pakistan program, the national economy is moving toward stability," he said. "The goal of 'Uraan Pakistan' is to make Pakistan a one-trillion-dollar economy by 2035," the Minister added. He noted encouraging signs from the economic front. "International institutions are confirming the positive indicators of the Pakistani economy," he said. "The policy rate has decreased from 23% to 11%," he added. Referring to market performance, the Minister stated, "The Pakistan Stock Exchange has surpassed 140,000 points." Highlighting trade potential with China, Iqbal said, "China imports approximately $2 trillion annually, whereas Pakistan's share in it is extremely small." He stressed, "Pakistan wants to promote trade and exports with China." He further said, "Gaining access to Chinese markets is an important economic objective."
