00:00Pakistan, beyond the crisis state, effectively provides short and long-term reforms required

00:06which include improving public institutions of the state, ensuring checks and balances,

00:11and generating competent civil servants.

00:14However, it is also stated that implementing these reforms requires a vision and mechanism.

00:20Moving forward, this book also highlighted the requirement for syncing the country's

00:24politics with its social, economic, and technological shifts.

00:29These shifts are responsible for generating a connected Pakistani society and transforming

00:34the national landscape.

00:36With respect to redesigning governance policies, it is also essential to understand that democracy

00:42is incomplete without the presence of the rule of law.

00:46The book further discusses the need for an economic revival in Pakistan.

00:51Both short and long-term reforms should be undertaken to ensure macroeconomic stability

00:56in Pakistan.

00:58Economic stability is dependent on financial balances that are a result of the effective

01:03mobilization of resources.

01:05Hence, the state should play a key role in introducing an environment for economic growth,

01:10as it will also lead to job creation and address unemployment in Pakistan.

01:16To combat terrorist organizations, the state should generate awareness and combat public

01:20support for militant organizations.

01:23The main objective of the state is to ensure peace in Afghanistan by ending terrorism within

01:29the region.

01:30Concerning India, deterrence should be maintained while also potentially exploring grounds for

01:35trade and economic relations.

01:38Strategic and economic relations should be maintained with China and a stable relationship

01:43of mutual interest with the US.
