Key issues discussed included the tariff policy, customs duties, exports and imports, and the need for tariff protection for the local ceramic tiles industry. Speaking at the occasion, Haroon Akhtar Khan appreciated the role played by the tiles industry in Pakistan's industrial development. 'I am fully aware of the challenges faced by tile manufacturers and I will personally advocate for your cause,' he stated. SAPM directed the tile manufacturers to submit a detailed report outlining the specific reasons why higher protection is necessary for the industry. He further instructed that the report must quantify cost disadvantages as a percentage of total production costs. In a major development, Haroon Akhtar Khan announced the formation of a joint committee comprising members of the Tiles Manufacturers Association and the Engineering Development Board (EDB). The committee has been tasked to present a progress report by Thursday. 'The government under Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is committed to supporting and revitalizing the industrial sector,' SAPM emphasized. 'We are strongly defending the case for industries, including tiles, in the National Tariff Policy Board.'

SadaPay's Turkish owner faces money laundering probe
Listen to article Papara — a Turkish financial technology company that acquired Pakistan's leading fintech SadaPay in May 2024 — is currently under investigation by Turkish authorities for alleged involvement in money laundering, illegal betting, and other financial crimes. The company's founder and CEO, Ahmed Faruk Karsl?, has been detained along with 12 others as part of a sweeping law enforcement operation. According to a report by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office confirmed that Karsl? was taken into custody during coordinated early morning raids across Istanbul. Authorities have seized a wide range of assets linked to the suspected criminal network, including eight businesses under PPR Holding Inc., multiple properties, luxury vehicles, yachts, and cryptocurrency wallets. The investigation, supported by data from the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT), the Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK), and other regulatory bodies, revealed that Papara's platform was allegedly used to facilitate illegal financial transactions. Investigators found that 102 of the 26,012 user accounts created through Papara's technology were directly involved in high-volume illegal betting and fund transfers. These transactions were routed through 274 different bank accounts and eventually funneled into 16 cryptocurrency wallets as part of an elaborate money laundering scheme. Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya stated that 13 individuals have been detained and that assets of the companies and suspects involved have been frozen. The financial crimes unit estimates that the illicit transactions amounted to over 12.9 billion Turkish lira (approximately $330 million). Papara, which reportedly has over 21 million users and a valuation exceeding $2 billion, acquired Pakistan-based SadaPaya licensed Electronic Money Institution (EMI) regulated by the State Bank of Pakistan — exactly one year ago. However, Pakistani authorities have not yet reported any links between the Turkish investigation and SadaPay's operations in Pakistan. Industry experts believe that the developments in Turkey necessitate a careful review by Pakistani regulators. A fintech analyst Muhammad Yasir urged the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) to closely monitor local fintech operators associated with foreign sponsors. "This case highlights the need for enhanced regulatory oversight and continuous due diligence," noted Yasir, adding, "While the allegations pertain to activities in Turkey, the reputational impact on SadaPay is inevitable. SBP must re-evaluate its existing EMI regulations and adopt a proactive approach to managing cross-border financial risks." He added that as financial technologies evolved and cyber-financial crimes grew increasingly sophisticated, Pakistan's regulatory framework must be regularly updated to safeguard consumer interests and the integrity of the national financial system.

Pakistan upgrades ties with Afghanistan
Listen to article Pakistan on Friday officially confirmed that it was upgrading diplomatic ties with Afghanistan and would soon exchange ambassadors with Kabul, in a significant shift in Islamabad's policy towards Kabul. The announcement of upgrading ties was first made by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi last week when he hosted foreign ministers of Pakistan and Afghanistan in Beijing. On Friday, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, who held a second meeting with the Chinese Foreign Minister within a span of 10 days in Hong Kong, issued a statement, announcing the upgrading of ties with Kabul. "Pakistan-Afghanistan relations are on a positive trajectory after my very productive visit to Kabul with the Pakistan delegation on 19th April 2025," Dar said in a statement. "To maintain this momentum, I am pleased to announce the decision of the Government of Pakistan to upgrade the level of its Chargé d'Affaires in Kabul to the level of Ambassador," he added. "I am confident this step would further contribute towards enhanced engagement, deepen Pak-Afghan cooperation in economic, security, CT & trade areas and promote further exchanges between two fraternal countries," he further said. Pakistan and Afghanistan have maintained diplomatic presence in each other's capitals but the missions were headed by charged affairs and not the full time Ambassadors. Exchanging ambassadors means that Pakistan would move a step closer to recognizing the Taliban government. China was the first country which sent a full time Ambassador to Kabul and accepted the Taliban envoy in March this year. A senior Pakistani official defended the move, saying apart from China, other regional countries including Turkey and Russia were also contemplating appointing their full time Ambassadors to Kabul. It is believed that China was nudging both sides from behind the scenes to resolve their issues through dialogue. Sources said for the first time the Taliban government had shown not only willingness but initiated certain steps to rein in groups operating out of its territory. The Taliban government recently launched a crackdown on elements supporting groups inimical to Pakistan. Kabul in particularly targeted Afghan citizens, who joined the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Another major sign suggesting a shift in its approach was a statement by Senior Afghan Taliban commander Saeedullah Saeed, who on Wednesday warned militant factions against unauthorized jihad, particularly in Pakistan, saying such actions were against Shariah and the orders of the Islamic Emirate's leadership. Speaking at a police passing-out ceremony, Saeed said that fighting in any country, including Pakistan, without the explicit command of the Amir is not permissible. "Joining various groups to wage jihad abroad does not make one a true mujahid," he stated. "Only the Amir of the state has the authority to declare jihad — not individuals or groups." Saeed emphasized that those carrying out attacks independently or moving between regions to conduct operations cannot be classified as legitimate fighters under Islamic law. "Jihad based on personal ego or group loyalty is considered fasad (corruption), not legitimate resistance," he added. The issue of terrorism was one of the key talking points during the three-way talks in Beijing. The Chinese official read out said Wang Yi stressed the need for combating terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. He also called for joint cooperation to combat the menace of terrorism and cautioned against external interference. In the wake of recent escalation in tensions into a military conflict between India and Pakistan, New Delhi was trying to reach out to the Taliban government. Breaking from its decades-old policy, Indian External Affairs Minister S J Shankar spoke to the Afghan interim Foreign Minister. The move seems to be part of India's recalibration in order to put pressure on Pakistan. But the meeting in Beijing appears to have preempted that move. The Chinese foreign ministry statement suggested that there was great incentive for the Taliban government to work closely with Beijing and Islamabad.
