ISLAMABAD:

A breakaway faction of the Afghan Taliban has sent a delegation to meet the self-proclaimed caliph of the Islamic State, Abu Bakar al Baghdadi, and assure him that they are not opposed to the activities of the ultra-extremist group in Afghanistan.

Leaders of the Fidayee Mahaz or the Islamic Movement of Afghanistan will hold talks with Baghdadi or the group’s other leaders days after the Taliban warned the IS leaders to stay away from Afghanistan as its emergence will divide the ‘Mujahideen’ that could harm their resistance against the foreign forces.

With hope, Chinese-run #Gwadar Port set to operate - The Express Tribune
▻http://tribune.com.pk/story/868338/officially-functioning-with-hope-chinese-run-gwadar-port-set-to-operate

The Chinese-run Gwadar deep-sea port will commence operation formally from this month, starting with fish exports to Gulf countries, said Gwadar Port Managing Director (MD) Dostain Khan Jamaldini.

“The first commercial ship will dock at the port and a new ship lane will be in operation thereafter,” said the MD. “Our target is to make the port fully operational this year.”

The port authorities acquired possession of 2,231 acres of land at the beginning of the year from Pakistan Navy and Pakistan Coast Guard for establishing free-trade zones.

Gwadar–Kashgar trade corridor dilemma
▻http://nation.com.pk/business/13-Apr-2015/gwadar-kashgar-trade-corridor-dilemma

1. The vibrant Chinese economy, manifest and multifaceted, is outreaching to venture into geographical locations still somewhat remote and outlying.
One such option would be the Sea-Silk Road, announced by the Chinese President in a recent visit to the Maldives.
Another option awaiting completion would be the repose of vast potential called the Gwader – Kashgar Trade Corridor.
China is spending billions of dollars on development of her western part of the country i.e.
Kashgar / Xinjiang province which is far from her ports in the east.
China is planning to connect it with Gwadar Port being the shortest access to the sea.

China–Pakistan Economic Corridor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
▻http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%E2%80%93Pakistan_Economic_Corridor

TheChina-Pakistan Economic corridor (CPEC) is an under-construction development megaproject to connect Gwadar Port in southern Pakistan to China’s northwestern autonomous region of Xinjiang via highways, railways and pipelines to transport oil and gas. The project is considered central to the China–Pakistan relations. The economic corridor will run about 3,000 km from Gwadar, a port city in southwest Pakistan, to the northwestern Chinese city of Kashgar. Overall construction costs are estimated at $45 billion, with the project expected to be completed in 2030, according to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun.
(…)
Strategic Importance
When the corridor is constructed it will serve as a primary gateway for trade between China and the Middle East and Africa. In particular oil from the Middle East could be offloaded at Gwadar, which is located just outside the mouth of the Persian Gulf, and transported to China through the Baluchistan province in Pakistan. Such a link would vastly cut the 12,000-kilometre route that Mideast oil supplies must now take to reach Chinese ports.

The best dormitory in town bears the evocative name of Hotel Harmony and houses several hundred migrant workers recruited almost exclusively by Xawax, one of the country’s 1,300 or so recruitment agencies. The Express People agency, on the other hand, puts its workers up in a third-rate bed and breakfast, the Veselka, a stone’s throw from the railway station.

Why we can’t say for sure how many illegal immigrants are living in the UK

The show in question was Illegal Immigrants and Proud, a documentary shown on Monday on Channel 5. The estimate of 800,000 illegal immigrants was cited in the show’s publicity materials and in papers including the Express and Mirror.

But the research the figure comes from doesn’t support this. It said that at the end of 2007 the number of people without a right to remain in the UK could be anywhere between 417,000 and 863,000, with their best guess being around 618,000. And not all of those people were ‘immigrants’ - some of them were born in the UK to immigrant couples.

In truth there is currently no way to know exactly how many illegal immigrants are living in Britain; we don’t keep track of the whereabouts of everybody who passes into the country through border control, and many others may have entered the country by means that may not have been picked up by these estimates.
