Pakistan Needs To Repay $77 Billion Debt To China, Saudi Arabia By 2026: Report

Pakistan needs to repay a whopping USD 77.5 billion in external debt from April 2023 to June 2026 and the cash-strapped country may face "disruptive effects" if it ultimately defaults, a prominent US think tank has warned.

The analysis published on Thursday by the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) warned that amid skyrocketing inflation, political conflicts, and rising terrorism, Pakistan is facing the risk of a default due to its massive external debt obligations, the Geo News reported on Friday.

Pakistan, currently tackling a major economic crisis, is grappling with high external debt, a weak local currency and dwindling foreign exchange reserves.

The USIP report called the USD 77.5 billion that Pakistan needs to repay in external debt from April 2023 to June 2026 a "hefty amount" for a USD 350 billion economy.

It stated that if Pakistan ultimately defaults, there will be a "cascade of disruptive effects".

In the next three years, the debt-struck country has to make major repayments to Chinese financial institutions, private creditors and Saudi Arabia.

From April to June 2023, Pakistan faces near-term debt repayment pressure as the external debt servicing burden is USD 4.5 billion, the report said.

According to the report, substantial repayments are due in June, when a USD 1 billion Chinese SAFE deposit and a roughly USD 1.4 billion Chinese commercial loan would mature.

Pakistani authorities hope to convince the Chinese to refinance and roll over both debts, the report said, noting that the Chinese government and commercial banks have done so in the past.

Even if Pakistan manages to meet these obligations, the next fiscal year will be more challenging as the debt servicing will rise to nearly USD 25 billion, the report said.

Pakistan is awaiting a much-needed USD 1.1 billion tranche of funding from the International Monetary Fund, originally due to be disbursed in November last year.

The funds are part of a USD 6.5 billion bailout package the IMF approved in 2019, which analysts say is critical if Pakistan is to avoid defaulting on external debt obligations.

The IMF programme, signed in 2019, will expire on June 30, 2023, and under the set guidelines, the programme cannot be extended beyond the deadline.

Pakistan and the IMF have been negotiating the programme's resumption for months but have yet to reach an agreement.

There is no easy solution available to fix the ailing economy of Pakistan, and the government is of the view that they have taken all the tough decisions for reviving the stalled IMF programme.

"Constitution Will Cease To Exist If...": Madras High Court Judge

The Indian Constitution's survival hinges on the nation's demographic profile and if it is altered, then it would cease to exist, Judge, Madras High Court, Justice GR Swaminathan has said.

Addressing an event, Justice Swaminathan made a quick reference to the making of the Constitution between 1947-49 and its coming into force in 1950.

The Judge said: "For all of us, the ultimate is only the Constitution authored by Dr B R Ambedkar and I say this happily with pride. There is Constitutional morality and we must not go beyond it at all." 

Just before making a comment on Constitution vis-a-vis the nation's demography, he said his view could turn out to be "slightly controversial" but he was not "very much worried about it" as he had already made a mention on the mater in one of his judgments.

He said: "If this Constitution is to continue as it is for all the time to come, I am emphasising this, when the Constitution was made, we had a demographic profile of our own. Only till such time this demographic profile continues, this Constitution will survive as it is; if this demographic profile is altered, this Constitution will cease to exist." 

Therefore, for the Constitution to survive for all times the demographic profile should continue to be as it is, he said.

The Constitution could survive only if people belonging to "Bharatiya Dharma and Samprataya" continue to be within its fold, he said. "I am a Judge and I cannot say anything more. You should understand," he said.

Justice Swaminathan's comment drew both flak and praise in social media. Rajya Sabha MP and former Union Minister Kapil Sibal tweeted saying, "The constitution may not survive if judges have such a mindset." 

On April 2, the Judge took part in a function here to release three books based on spiritual themes. It includes "Tiruppavayil Naveena Melanmai Padam." 

It means "Modern management lesson in Tiruppavai." 

A devotional poem, Tiruppavai is revered and it is authored by the only woman among 12 Alavars, who are Tamil Vaishnavite saints.

The Judge said, to take forward the work on Bharatiya Dharma, reading such books authored by Makara Sadagopan would be useful.

Justice Swaminathan in his address recounted two incidents from his experience and said it was to show that "we have moved away." 

This is perceived as divergence from the nation's culture and heritage and not giving due importance to learning one's mother tongue despite claiming to be an enthusiast of the Tamil language.

The Judge said he considered the books that are released as an attempt aimed at fostering harmony by bridging the culture gap.

King Charles Backs Research Into British Monarchy's Links To Slavery

King Charles has given his support to research that will examine the British monarchy's links to slavery, Buckingham Palace said on Thursday, after a newspaper report said a document showed a historical connection with a transatlantic slave trader.

The Guardian said an archive document discovered by historian Brooke Newman showed that in 1689 King William III had been given 1,000 pounds of shares in the Royal African Company (RAC) which was involved in the transportation of thousands of slaves from Africa to the Americas.

The recently discovered document was signed by Edward Colston, a slave trade magnate whose history became widely known after protesters pulled down a statue to him in Bristol, southwest England, and threw it in the harbour during 2020 Black Lives Matter protests.

"This is an issue that His Majesty takes profoundly seriously," Buckingham Palace said in a statement.

The issue of the British Empire's slavery links and calls for possible reparations from the monarchy has been growing in the Caribbean where King Charles remains head of state of a number of countries including Jamaica and the Bahamas.

Buckingham Palace said the royal household would help to support an independent research project looking into any links between the monarchy and slavery during the late seventeenth and eighteenth-centuries, by allowing access to the Royal Collection and the Royal Archives.

The Palace highlighted a speech King Charles made to Commonwealth leaders last June, when he said: "I cannot describe the depths of my personal sorrow at the suffering of so many as I continue to deepen my own understanding of slavery's enduring impact."

That process had continued with "vigour and determination" since King Charles succeeded his mother on the throne last September, it said.

There were a protests and calls for an apology for slavery when King Charles's eldest and now heir Prince William went on tour with his wife to the Caribbean in March last year.

"Given the complexities of the issues it is important to explore them as thoroughly as possible," the Palace statement said. "It is expected that the research will conclude in September 2026."

"Opposition Unity Not Important, People's Unity Is": Arvind Kejriwal In Punjab

Amid efforts towards opposition unity, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said in a democracy people are supreme and opposition parties should go to them with a positive agenda.

"Opposition unity is not important, people's unity is important," Arvind Kejriwal said.

No matter how much some people may try to forge unity among opposition parties, if people have decided to support someone they will vote for that person, he said.

"Second, the agenda should be positive. If everyone says they have come together to defeat someone, then people don't like that. People say defeating anyone or making anyone win is their job and should be left to them," the Delhi chief minister told reporters in Phagwara, near Jalandhar.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and senior party leader Raghav Chadha accompanied Mr Kejriwal during the visit ahead of the Jalandhar Lok Sabha bypoll on May 10. The counting will be done on May 13.

In their presence, former Congress MLA from Jalandhar West Sushil Rinku joined the Aam Aadmi Party.

Welcoming Rinku into the party, Raghav Chadha said his presence will boost AAP.

The bypoll was necessitated following the death of Congress MP Santokh Singh Chaudhary (76) in January due to a cardiac arrest.

Responding to a question on the possibility of a "third front" with AAP as its constituent, Arvind Kejriwal said, "In a democracy, people are supreme. There's a lot of talk about forging opposition unity. But the day people unite, they will decide what is to be done...what is their mood," he said.

Mr Kejriwal also said that if there is any front - of two, three, four or 10 parties - the alliance will have to put forth a "positive agenda" and people will decide whose agenda they like and who they will vote for.

"So a positive agenda is necessary and second people's unity is important. We have to fight elections to make people win, not defeat them," Mr Kejriwal added.

"Nearly Lost Her": Crippled Pak Elephant Noor Jehan Will Survive Diagnosis

International vets "nearly lost" a 17-year-old elephant in Pakistan on Wednesday after knocking her out to perform diagnostic tests, but they now hope to treat multiple issues that have left her crippled for months.

Noor Jehan has been barely able to walk around her enclosure at Karachi Zoo because of a huge growth between her back legs, sparking concern from keepers and visitors.

A team of veterinarians and wildlife experts from Four Paws International intervened after images of the ailing African elephant were shared across social media.

"We nearly lost Noor Jehan when we gave the sedative," veterinarian Amir Khalil told reporters after the jumbo diagnosis.

"It was a risky procedure."

A huge crane was deployed on Wednesday to lift the 3.5-ton pachyderm after she had been tranquillized.

Ultrasound and other tests suggest Noor Jehan has a huge hematoma inside her abdomen, as well as issues with her intestines.

"It is clear Noor Jehan is in serious pain and suffering," Khalil said.

"There is a treatment for this... it needs some luck and it needs a lot of work in coming days."

Pakistan's zoos are frequently criticised for disregarding animal welfare, and in 2020 a court ordered the only zoo in the country's capital to shut because of its decrepit state.

The zoo drew international condemnation for its treatment of an Asian elephant named Kaavan, who was later airlifted to retirement in Cambodia in a project spearheaded by US popstar and actor Cher, and carried out by Four Paws.

Last year a zoo in the eastern city of Lahore called off plans to auction 12 lions to private individuals after overbreeding, saying it would instead create new enclosures for the big cats.

"It is high time to phase out zoos from Pakistan," said Mahera Omar, the chief of Pakistan Animal Welfare Society.
