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 />

principles of rule of law and<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 />
