The International Monetary Fund said it reached a new $7 billion loan deal with Pakistan in a bid to bolster its faltering economy.

"Norway's consistent stance as regards both Ukraine and Gaza allow us to point out such contradictions in a way that actually cuts through," writes Norway's Deputy Foreign Minister.

Punjab Police who visited Imran Khan's Zaman Park residence here to conduct a search operation to arrest "terrorists" reportedly hiding there have returned with only "water and biscuits", former Pakistan prime minister's chief security officer said.

Notwithstanding India's concerns, the United States is all set to provide USD 450 million F-16 sustainment package to Pakistan as there has been no objection to the deal from the Senate within the mandatory 30-day notice period.
