First islamic summit a message for world


Pakistan has a deep commitment to the unity of the Muslim world, and to the promotion of interfaith harmony and dialogue, we are pleased to be part of this important Summit, said Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif in his interaction with King Salman Bin Abdul Aziz, President Donald J. Trump and other leaders from the Arab and Islamic countries who gathered for the first Arab-Islamic-American Summit in Riyadh today. 


The Prime Minister said that being the frontline state, Pakistan has rendered remarkable sacrifices in the global fight against terrorism. Choice of Saudi Arabia as the venue for the first Arab-Islamic-American Summit is appropriate, given the reverence and respect that the entire Muslim world has for this land of the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him). 

The Prime Minister appreciated the leadership of President Trump to make this Summit as his first overseas engagement, and said that this initiative of President Trump is of great symbolic significance. 

The rising tide of terrorism and extremism is the most daunting challenge that the world confronts today, the Prime Minister stated. Unfortunately, Pakistan has been in the forefront of this existential struggle, bearing a disproportionately large burden, the Prime Minister highlighted. 

Tens of thousands of our citizens and thousands of our security personnel have been martyred, or injured in terrorist attacks; while billions have been lost in terms of economic cost, the Prime Minister further said. 

Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif apprised that like many other countries, Pakistan has made tough choices and taken difficult decisions to deal with the new and emerging challenges. "We have confronted terrorism with courage and conviction; and the massive human and financial costs have further strengthened our resolve" the Prime Minister further stated. 

The turnaround in Pakistan both on the security and economic fronts, with the last year witnessing the lowest number of terrorist attacks in a decade, presents a good example of how political commitment, based on an across-the-board national consensus, supported by determined and well organized kinetic operations of armed forces, could bring about the desired results in countries afflicted with the scourge of extremism and terrorism, the Prime Minister informed the leaders during his short interactions during the Arab-Islamic-American Summit. 

Besides His Majesty King Salman Bin Abdul Aziz and President Trump, the Prime Minister exchanged views with a number of other leaders including the Emir of Qatar, King of Bahrain, President of Azerbaijan, Prime Minister of Malaysia and President of Tajikistan.

Bill Gates says crypto-currencies cause deaths A BBC news article

Crypto-currencies are killing people in a "fairly direct way", Microsoft founder Bill Gates has said. He was referring to the way digital currencies like Bitcoin are used to buy drugs like synthetic opioid fentanyl. In an "ask me anything" session on news website Reddit, he said that the anonymity of digital currencies meant they were linked to terrorist funding and money laundering. Some criticised him, saying he was ill-informed about the technology. Asked by one user for his opinion on the technology, Mr Gates replied: "The main feature of crypto-currencies is their anonymity. I don't think this is a good thing. The government's ability to find money laundering and tax evasion and terrorist funding is a good thing. "Right now, crypto-currencies are used for buying fentanyl and other drugs so it is a rare technology that has caused deaths in a fairly direct way. I think the speculative wave around ICOs [initial coin offerings] a...
