Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday inaugurated Pakistan TV Digital and unveiled the plaque for its newly established English-language channel, designed to project Pakistan’s narrative to the global audience. Federal Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, Information Secretary Ambreen Jan, and other senior officials attended the ceremony. The Prime Minister toured various sections of the channel and held an interactive session with young professionals, praising their dedication and emphasizing their crucial role in countering hostile narratives about Pakistan. During the launch, PM Shehbaz also recorded his first interview for Pakistan TV Digital, highlighting the platform’s mission to deliver authentic news and counter misinformation. Minister Tarar briefed the Prime Minister on the channel’s objectives, noting that it would serve as a credible Pakistani voice internationally, bridge information gaps, and support public diplomacy efforts. The platform will focus on international affairs, cultural insights, economic developments, and analyses from a uniquely Pakistani perspective. Its operations combine in-house reporting with a global network of freelancers, along with partnerships with Reuters and Associated Press (AP), ensuring real-time, verified, and high-quality coverage. Officials said the initiative is strategically designed to neutralize biased regional media narratives, particularly those influenced by Western and Indian outlets. “Pakistan TV Digital will be the hub of major stories as seen through Pakistan’s lens,” Minister Tarar remarked.
