Modi’s UAE visit a wake-up call for Pakistan: Daily
Islamabad: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the UAE should be a wake-up call for Pakistan as “India is on the move in the region”, said a leading Pakistani daily on Thursday.
An editorial in the Dawn said that Modi’s August 16-17 visit to the United Arab Emirates, and the joint communiqué issued afterwards, “should be nothing less than a wake-up call for Pakistan”.
“Both countries have agreed to enhance their economic cooperation and set specific targets, including bringing UAE investment into Indian infrastructure up to $75 billion and raising their bilateral trade by 60 percent in five years,” it said.
The communiqué also goes to some lengths to “condemn efforts, including by states, to use religion to justify, support and sponsor terrorism against other countries”, dilating upon this commitment with a specificity and sweep that almost betrays a sense of relish with which the words were written.
“The language is being widely interpreted to be pointed towards Pakistan,” said the daily.
The editorial said that by itself, the growing closeness between India and the UAE would be cause for little more than some alarm.
“But given the diplomatic moves under way in the region it highlights how the conduct of foreign policy is changing in profound ways.”
It added: “…India is on the move in the region, keeping countries as diverse as the UAE, Iran, China and the United States on board as it spins a web of connectivity from the Middle East to Southeast Asia.”
The daily went on to say this should be enough to wake Pakistan’s foreign policy community up to the fact that their game has changed fundamentally.
“Lingering territorial disputes are no longer the driving force behind foreign policy. Instead, the foreign interests of states are now, more than ever before, viewed through an economic lens. States can be rivals in one sphere and partners in another,” it said.
“The game is no longer about pushing a single-agenda item, but the meticulous placement of pieces on an increasingly complex and interconnected chessboard. For Pakistan, remaining wedded to an old foreign policy template developed in the early Cold War years – which saw friends and masters in its search for a big brother who would help solve problems in return for a geopolitical alliance – is no longer a viable option,” the daily noted.
The editorial called for maturity in Pakistan’s foreign policy and said that “as a thaw with Iran opens up opportunities to the west, and the possibility of building an economic partnership with India to the east – however remote it might seem at the moment – remains a viable foreign policy goal. It’s time to emerge from the old world, and recognise the changes happening in our region before it’s too late”.

The mission focuses on helping families of terminally ill patients in hospitals by providing food and shelter. It also works to fulfill essential needs like education, jobs, and care for the elderly.
For the last 16 years, the Vijay Sri Foundation has been providing free services, benefiting thousands of people. Vishal Singh highlighted that the mission aims to gain global recognition like other organizations such as WHO, WWF, and Red Cross, which work for social causes.
During this meeting, Vishal Singh was appointed as the Chairman of the Hunger Free World Mission by representatives from various countries. They also discussed holding regular meetings in different countries to push the mission forward.
Business tycoon Dr. Abhishek Verma has also supported this humanitarian mission, vowing to promote the idea of “Seva Parmo Dharma” (Service is the highest duty) worldwide. Vishal Singh praised him, stating that people like Dr .Abhishek Verma inspire others to work for the betterment of society.
Recently, Romania’s Ambassador, Mr . Daniela Sezonov Ţane, invited Vishal Singh to the Romanian Embassy in Delhi, where they discussed the mission in detail. Impressed by his humanitarian work, she honored Vishal Singh and invited him to Romania to take the mission forward .

Despite contracting the virus himself, he continued to assist others after his recovery. He even created a life-saving oxygen regulator using household items, which was praised by doctors both in India and abroad.
In his address at the meeting, Vishal Singh spoke about his mission to create a hunger-free world. He pointed out that India’s large population, along with issues like unemployment and poverty, has caused the country to fall on the Hunger Index. He urged people to contribute just one handful of grains daily to help create a hunger-free world.
He concluded by saying that through social participation, we can empower the people around us, meet their basic needs, and work together to build a stronger, more prosperous, and developed society.
