Pakistan, Iran aim to raise bilateral trade to $10 bn
dpa Islamabad Pakistan and Iran on Sunday signed agreements pledging to raise bilateral trade to $10 billion and committed to work more closely to eliminate the menace of terrorism in favour of peace and prosperity in the region. Agreements across various sectors, including energy and trade, were signed during the two-day visit of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. 'We have set a target of $10 billion in trade and hope to achieve it as soon as possible,' Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said. Addressing a joint press briefing Sharif reiterated Pakistan's stance of supporting Iran's right to a nuclear programme for peaceful purposes under the UN charter and condemned Israel's aggression against Iran saying there was 'no justification.' He said the two countries would take effective steps to eliminate terrorism and open the avenues of prosperity in the region. The Iranian president said he thinks reaching the $10 billion trade mark - which would represent a more than three-fold increase in trade - is doable. 'My deep belief is that we can easily, in a short time, increase the volume of our trade relations from the current $3 billion to the projected goal of $10 billion,' Pezeshkian said. He thanked the government and people supporting Iran 'during the 12-day terrorist aggression by the Zionist regime and the United States.'

NHRC developing educational guides to promote human rights awareness among students: Al Attiyah
QNA Beirut The National Human Rights Committee (NHRC) is currently working on developing educational guides targeted at the primary, preparatory, and secondary levels, which were previously issued in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, to promote human rights awareness among students, Chairperson of the National Human Rights Committee (NHRC) HE Maryam bint Abdullah Al Attiyah said. In her speech during the high-level meeting on developing a guiding manual of best practices and experiences in human rights education in the Arab region, held in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, Al Attiyah noted that this development aims to integrate human rights concepts into educational curricula in line with universal human rights principles and the values and customs of Qatari society. The meeting included participation from the National Human Rights Commission in Lebanon, the Arab Network of National Human Rights Institutions (ANNHRI), headquartered in Doha, and the United Nations Training and Documentation Centre for Human Rights in the Arab Region and Southwest Asia. She added that the Committee continues its awareness efforts in this field through training kits, courses, campaigns, workshops, and competitions organized in schools, explaining that during the first half of this year, the Committee held 29 activities benefiting 1,245 male and female students. Al Attiyah emphasised that human rights education is one of the Committee's top priorities and represents a fundamental pillar in building prosperous and sustainable societies, calling for highlighting the best practices and experiences in the Arab region to encourage, support, and benefit from them in developing relevant guiding manuals. The chairperson of the National Human Rights Committee expressed the Committee's hope that this meeting would contribute to enhancing various aspects of human rights education in the region, particularly regarding the integration of fundamental human rights concepts into the educational process and the adoption of methods and mechanisms that support a human rights-based approach. She pointed out that human rights education contributes to the development of knowledge, values, and skills, in addition to instilling the values of dignity, equality, non-discrimination, freedom, and justice. She added that the Committee is aware of the challenges facing the integration of human rights concepts into educational curricula, yet it recognises the great opportunities that societies can gain by raising future generations with a culture of human rights. She affirmed the Committee's determination to move forward in this direction through clear plans that take into account the cultural, social, and civilisational values of Qatari society. Al Attiyah affirmed the NHRC's keenness to involve teachers, parents, and students themselves in relevant consultations and meetings, and to listen to the voices of children and youth on various topics raised in national forums, stressing the importance of ensuring the participation of students with disabilities and facilitating their access to all activities. She noted that the Committee's efforts align with constitutional requirements that affirm the Qatari society's foundation on five essential pillars: justice, benevolence, freedom, equality, and noble morals. These efforts also align with Qatar National Vision 2030. She affirmed the National Human Rights Committee's full support for the efforts to develop the guiding manual for human rights education in the Arab region, expressing hope that the outcomes of the meeting would contribute to enhancing the integration of human rights concepts into educational curricula and developing methods and tools that foster generations capable of upholding these values.
