Loud Thinking

Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan

Islamabad

السلام علیکم ورحمة الله وبرکاته

I wish to commend your principled decision to decline the national award recommended by the committee. This act of integrity and selflessness will be remembered in our national history as a shining example of propriety in public office.

Equally, I applaud your timely announcement regarding the formation of the Army Rocket Force, echoing my proposal of 29 June 2025. This bold step will be recorded alongside the historic decision of Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif to authorize the nuclear tests on 28 May 1998—both pivotal moments in Pakistan’s strategic history.

Given the prevailing regional dynamics and the clear trajectory of India’s military posture, the possibility of a major conflict is not merely speculative but increasingly INEVITABLE. In light of this, I respectfully reiterate my two additional proposals, also submitted on 29 June 2025:

1. Construction of Underground Shelters for general public equipped with medical and essential facilities.

2. Revival of the National Cadet Corps (NCC) on modern lines to enhance civilian preparedness and resilience.

Furthermore, I strongly recommend that Pakistan urgently initiate dialogue with Bangladesh for the creation of a strategic confederation—where both nations retain autonomous governance while aligning on defence, strategic, and mutually agreed matters.

Pakistan’s strategic stature now ranks second only to China in potency across the vast region stretching from New Zealand to Israel. It is therefore imperative to deepen strategic, economic, and people-to-people ties with all nations within this area of influence, including Myanmar, Nepal, Bhutan, Thailand, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Brunei, Mauritius, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Korea. This will require an immediate revitalization and revamping of the Foreign Affairs, Commerce, Industries, IT, and Agriculture ministries, which should be tasked with achieving USD 80 billion income in exports by 30 June 2027, to meet the challenges and opportunities of the coming century.

With prayers for Pakistan’s stability, unity, and enduring strength,

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad
