LAHORE – At a seminar titled "Give Peace Another Chance," held on Thursday, speakers urged renewed peace efforts between Pakistan and India, emphasizing the need to revive the SAARC regional cooperation organisation. The event, jointly organized by the South Asia Free Media Association (SAFMA) and the Peoples Rights Enforcement Movement (PREM), took place in conjunction with Independence Day.
In his address, Imtiaz Alam, Secretary General of SAFMA, highlighted the shifting global power dynamics, noting that the recent war between Iran and the United States had altered the international landscape. He stressed that the unipolar system, dominated by a single superpower, was evolving into a multipolar world, making dialogue between Pakistan and India more crucial than ever.
Alam emphasized the necessity of peace talks between the two nations, given that maintaining peace was fundamental for the prosperity and progress of their populations. He criticized the proposed creation of new provinces on administrative grounds, arguing that instead, greater authority should be given to local governments to enhance the overall effectiveness of the system.
The seminar also featured contributions from Abid Saqi, Peter Jacob, Muhammad Tehseen, and Comrade Irfan.
