TRADE CHRONICLE<br />

adoption of peaceful means to<br />

resolve the issues but unfortunately<br />

the expansionist designs of India<br />

have remained the main hurdle in<br />

this regard. It is incumbent upon the<br />

international community to play its<br />

role in the resolution of the regional<br />

conflicts, particularly the Kashmir<br />

dispute in conformity with the UN<br />

Resolutions on the subject with a<br />

view to ensuring durable peace in<br />

the region.<br />

Terrorism is the biggest challenge<br />

confronting the world in the twenty<br />

first century. Pakistan has rendered<br />

unparalleled sacrifices in the fight<br />

against this menace as well as for the<br />

70th Independence Day<br />

Zong 4G creates a virtual<br />

tour of Quaid’s birthplace<br />

Zong 4G, under its Corporate Social<br />

Responsibility program has amazed<br />

all of Pakistan with a special 70-year<br />

anniversary present to the nation.<br />

This Independence Day, Zong 4G’s<br />

‘New Hope’ volunteers pay homage<br />

to the greatest hero of our<br />

independence, Quaid-e-Azam<br />

Muhammad Ali Jinnah, by creating<br />

a virtual tour of his birth place,<br />

Wazir Mansion, Karachi.<br />

This virtual tour, placed at Zong<br />

4G’s corporate webpage, allows<br />

visitors to take a 3D tour of Quaid’s<br />

family home. The tour allows a<br />

‘life-like’ experience of walking<br />

through the entrance and hallways<br />

that were once walked by the great<br />

leader himself. The tour allows<br />

access to Quaid’s bedroom, study<br />

and his library which has the<br />

original furniture that has been<br />

preserved in its original state. The<br />

second floor displays astounding<br />

artifacts such as Quaid’s clothing,<br />

wearables and accessories that were<br />

under his use and gives us a peek<br />

into his elegant lifestyle.<br />

world peace. Our armed forces, law<br />

enforcing agencies and the people<br />

have written imperishable stories of<br />

sacrifices in this regard. Now the<br />

time has come for the international<br />

c o m m u n i t y n o t o n l y t o<br />

acknowledge those sacrifices by<br />

rising above their interests in the<br />

region but also to fully support<br />

Pakistan in taking the fight against<br />

terrorism to its logical conclusion.<br />

The younger generation of Pakistan<br />

is endowed with exceptional talent<br />

and has a burning desire for<br />

advancement. They are making<br />

admirable contribution in the fields<br />

of Information Technology,<br />

Wazir Mansion, known officially as<br />

“ Q u a i d - e - A z a m B i r t h p l a c e<br />

Museum” is a former family home<br />

in the Kharadar district of Karachi,<br />

Sindh. The magnificent structure<br />

was built during 1860-1870 with<br />

stone masonry in lime and jute<br />

mortar to suit the volatile weather of<br />

Karachi.<br />

Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali<br />

Jinnah's father got the house for rent<br />

in 1874 and settled here.<br />

Zong 4G’s Director Corporate<br />

Affairs Mr. Maham Dard in a<br />

statement said; “This house, where<br />

Quaid spent 16 years of his<br />

childhood and youth is a precious<br />

national monument that provides<br />

inspiration to all of us. Zong 4G has<br />

launched this tour on the occasion of<br />

our 70th Independence Day so that<br />

people from all across Pakistan and<br />

of development and prosperity in<br />

P a k i s t a n s o t h a t a l l t h o s e<br />

professionals can return to<br />

contribute to this national effort.<br />

I assure the Pakistani youth that<br />

tomorrow’s Pakistan will ensure the<br />

i m p l e m e n t a t i o n o f g u i d i n g<br />

principles of rule of law and<br />

ascendency of merit. On the<br />

seventieth independence day of the<br />

country, I make a solemn pledge that<br />

we will not relent until the<br />

achievement of those objectives.<br />

the world can virtually visit the<br />

first home of the father of our<br />

homeland and experience the<br />

awe of this wonderful place<br />

themselves.”<br />

“Zong 4G, being Pakistan’s<br />

cause of a digital Pakistan.<br />
