My dear Ishaq Dar Sahab, I hope you know very well, how kiddish it is to even think that in the wildest of dream that those 200 billion USD, will be retained by its owners in Switzerland for 4-5 years, for you to negotiate with the Swiss authorities and then confiscate the wealth.
I will advise you that if you don’t have the will for this project, then just leave it and don’t use it as an excuse for touring many times to Switzerland, by you and your official cronies, at the national expense.
What I mean to say is that at least save the national wealth, which you plan to waste on world excursion tours, on the pretext of bringing back money from Swiss accounts.
Have mercy on this poor nation..!

Don’t Make These Common Negotiating Mistakes
Even the best negotiators can make mistakes. Make sure all of your careful preparation isn’t wasted at the table by avoiding these common traps:
Failing to listen. Spending hours or days preparing your argument will naturally make you want to share your interests, lay out options, and so forth. But when you get into the room, focus on listening and asking questions as much as (if not more than) presenting your case.
Sacrificing your interests to preserve the relationship. Deal with you and your counterpart’s relationship separately. Any trust issues should be resolved before you move on to the substance of the negotiation.
Focusing on positions, not interests. It’s easy to establish what you both want and then move quickly into the specifics of the agreement. But the two of you need to take time to understand the drivers behind your positions — or you won’t be able to reach an agreement that satisfies both of you.

Is there no Bertrand Russell in the entire world, is there no Martin Luther King in the whole of the United States of America, who could raise voice against the GENOCIDE of the PALESTINIANS by the evil nexus of the US and Israel?
We have no expectations from Nawaz Sharif, Asif Ali Zardari, Altaf Hussain and Maulana Fazal ur Rehman etc., to even utter few words against the evil nexus of US and Israel, but why Imran Khan, Dr. Tahir ul Qadri, Siraj ul Haq, Hafiz Saeed Ahmad and even Mulla Omar are also mum in their vehement condemnation of the GENOCIDE of the Palestinians?
