Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has reiterated that sustainable peace and normalization of relations between Pakistan and India are impossible without resolving the Kashmir dispute. Addressing an Overseas Pakistanis Convention in London, the premier stated that any belief that bilateral relations can be established without addressing the Kashmir issue constitutes living in a "fool's paradise." He emphasized that Pakistan seeks dialogue with India on the basis of equality, noting that the two countries have spent billions of dollars on wars that could have been invested in public welfare and development.

Sharif criticized New Delhi's approach and urged India to behave as a cooperative neighbor rather than a combative one. "Pakistan and India are neighbors we must learn to live together. But let me be clear: there can be no normalization of ties without resolving Kashmir," he added. The prime minister's comments come amid heightened tensions following the April 22, 2025, Pahalgam attack, where 26 civilians were killed by militants.

The prime minister also addressed the Pahalgam incident, recalling that he had announced the formation of an international committee and clarifying that Pakistan had no connection with it. He said Pakistan had repeatedly offered India a transparent investigation into the matter. Regarding the events of May 6, Sharif stated that when Pakistan decided to respond to India, the military leadership did not look back, claiming that in a decisive response, six Indian planes were destroyed.

During his speech, Sharif praised overseas Pakistanis as the "true ambassadors" of the country, acknowledging their hard work and immense contribution to Pakistan's economy. He revealed that overseas Pakistanis remitted $48.5 billion this year alone, calling these remittances a lifeline for the nation. The prime minister assured the government's commitment to protecting their rights and representing their concerns internationally, saluting them for defending Pakistan's image abroad.

British actor Callum Turner and pop superstar Dua Lipa have captured public attention with their whirlwind romance that began in January 2024 and culminated in an engagement confirmed in June. The couple's relationship timeline includes key public milestones, from being spotted together after the 'Masters of the Air' premiere in London to making their red carpet debut at the 2025 Met Gala. Their journey from initial meeting to engagement has unfolded over approximately 18 months, with both stars navigating demanding careers while building their personal connection.

The couple's first encounter reads like something from a romantic screenplay. Turner, 35, revealed to The Times that they finally met at a mutual friend's birthday party in Los Angeles after experiencing several 'near-misses' where their paths almost crossed but didn't. The most remarkable aspect of their initial meeting occurred when they sat next to each other and discovered they were both reading the same book, Hernán Díaz's 'Trust,' and had both just finished the first chapter. Turner described the moment as cinematic, noting that they realized they were 'on the same page' both literally and figuratively.

Maintaining a relationship between two high-profile careers requires strategic effort, and Turner has shared insights into how they manage the challenges of long-distance dating. The actor emphasized the importance of making time for each other regardless of busy schedules, stating their motto is 'it's never not worth it.' He recounted a recent instance where he flew to Boston for just two days to see Lipa between her tour commitments and his filming schedule, despite feeling exhausted. The couple relies heavily on FaceTime to stay connected and prioritizes creating meaningful memories during their limited time together.

Before their fateful meeting, Turner and Lipa experienced what he describes as multiple 'sliding doors' moments that nearly prevented their connection. The actor detailed one specific instance where Lipa left a party at 1:45 AM and he arrived at 2:00 AM, missing each other by mere minutes. These near-misses spanned several occasions involving mutual friends and shared social circles. Turner expressed gratitude that when they finally did meet under the right circumstances, he immediately recognized Lipa as 'the most beautiful woman in the world,' setting the stage for a relationship that would quickly progress from dating to engagement.
