DHL Global plans to expand business in Pakistan

"There is nothing happening in Pakistan that we have not seen elsewhere"

Thursday, May 06, 2010
By Saad Hasan

KARACHI: DHL Global Forwarding, Worldís largest logistics group, plans to expand operations in Pakistan and spend $9 million in warehouses, its trucking fleet and train human resource.

"You have 176,000km of paved streets. Go to India or any African country and tell me if they have so much of paved roads," Amadou Diallo, the Chief Executive Officer of DHL Global Forwarding business in South Asia Pacific and Angola, told The News in an interview.

The size of the investment is not much, but it shows the confidence of DHL Global in Pakistan, which is struggling to revive its battered economy.

"Every crisis offers opportunities," said Diallo. "Most of the economies in the region, including Pakistan remained resilient to the recession."

DHL Global, which is part of Germanyís Deutsche Group, sees growing business opportunities in the entire region.

"In the next 30 years, almost 40 per cent of the global trade will be taking place in Asia, Africa and Latin America," Diallo said. "That means at least 50 per cent of the fortune 500 companies will be from Asia."

"Pakistan is producing half a million graduates every year. All these brains will be generating a lot of ideas and in turn a lot of growth. They will want designer clothes and apparels," he said.

DHL has been operating in Pakistan for the last 27 years and employs around 1,000 people. Over 50 per cent of its ocean trade revenue comes from Asian countries.

Diallo said investments in telecommunication and infrastructure sectors in Pakistan are playing a key role in the development of small and medium enterprises.

"Logistics companies such as DHL can help them get their products in various markets," he said. "A lot of people know about Europe and the United States. But not many know that there is a rising middle class in Angola, Kenya, in chunks of South Africa and Sudan. We can help you get there."

The freight forwarding companies provide not just transportation services, but give logistics solution, he said. "Businessmen can organise marketing through Internet. The logistics companies can ship goods even to Guatemala without their having to know the geography of that country."

Most importantly, he said, companies such as DHL help exporters guide through customs procedures in different countries. "Now that is not something that you learn in any university."

The deteriorating security situation in Pakistan is not something that deters DHL. "We operate in 222 countries around the world. There is nothing happening in Pakistan that we have not seen elsewhere." He said Pakistan can gain from exporting agricultural products to around 1.2 billion Muslim consumers. "There is a need for investment in agriculture. But for the private sector to develop you need a lot of people who are willing to take risk."

Mohabbatan Sachiyan gets warm reception at PNCA​

PNCA Director General Tauqeer Nasir poses for a photograph with filmstaars Adnan Khan and Maria Khan, film director Shahzad Rafique and others–Online Photo

ISLAMABAD: People waited patiently for about an hour for the screening of the Punjabi film, Mohabbatan Sachiyan (true love prevails) at the Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA) Thursday evening.

This might be an index of the exuberant reception the film received from an excited audience that expected the film to be an extraordinary one, not only due to wide publicity about its double showing at the Muscat international film festival six weeks ago but also because of the ceremony held before its screening.

The ceremony might be in order since PNCA Director-General Tauqeer Nasir told the gathering that the council had been assigned the task of acting as a bridge between the film industry and the government. He hoped the decision would help revive the industry, boost its morale and help them produce 112 films each year.

"We may not stop screening Indian films. However, by adopting such measures it would bring confidence back to compete with them and come up with quality films as was the characteristic of Pakistani films during and before 1977.

The presence of two senior additional secretaries from the culture ministry as well as film director Shahzad Rafique, poet Riazur Rahman Sagar, who wrote the lyrics, and film star Maria Khan confirmed the new portfolio of films assigned to the PNCA.

The story of love is true of this film Muhabbatan Sachiyan produced in 2007. However, it is not a story of the usual love between a rich boy and a pauper girl. In this film the hero Nomi played by Adnan Khan, villain Samir (Behzad) and heroine Saira (Veena Malik) belong to affluent houses of the village.

It transpires that the father of the villain gets his son engaged to Saira when they were children, and promises to marry them off when they become adults. However when they grow up, the hero Nomi, who also lives in the same village, falls in love with Saira.

In the meantime the villain, Samir, questions his father's authority to decide his future 15 years in advance. He questions his father not because of any liberal thought but because he was having a whale of a time with a new girl in the city (played by Maria Khan).

This is the novelty of this film. It introduces a new theme in Punjabi movies, the habit of questioning of old living styles and ways, because, as of now, Punjabi films are full of long boasts and loud dialogues between Chaudhrys and the peasants of the village. The film also has good music and bold scenes.

Notwithstanding the plaudits that Muhabbatan Sachiyan received at the PNCA, it still remains behind in modern story concept relevant to our time.

Clinton Warns Pakistan of "severe consequences."

http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=6468787n

(CBS) Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the Pakistani government has been warned that if a terror operation like the failed Times Square bombing were to be successful and found to be originated in their country, "there would be very severe consequences."

Clinton also acknowledged Pakistan's increased cooperation in the war on terror, but said the U.S. wants and expects even more from the Muslim nation.

The interview was conducted in Washington Friday by "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley for a report to be broadcast this Sunday, May 9, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

"We've made it very clear that if, heaven-forbid, an attack like this that we can trace back to Pakistan were to have been successful, there would be very severe consequences," Clinton tells Pelley. The car bomb that fizzled out in Time Square last week was planted by Faisal Shahzad, a naturalized American citizen who was born in Pakistan and says he had terrorist training there.

Clinton says Pakistan's attitude toward fighting Islamic terrorists has changed remarkably. "We've gotten more cooperation and it's been a real sea change in the commitment we've seen from the Pakistan Government. [But] We want more. We expect more," says Clinton.

 

[bhramos]

this is just blah blah, show infront of the India and the world.
she is just making a small statement..........

 

[LETHALFORCE]

Pakistan probably just laughed this off just like the severe consequences for their nuclear proliferation statement by Bush.

She's not going to do anything.
She's just saying to appease us.
The only consequences are US will give MORE money to Pakistan to fight terror =)

 

[ahmedsid]

Pakistan Facing the Consequences for their doings? You must be kidding me! I mean, the only Consequence Pakistan will face is Karma, and they are facing it now. I trust God to deliver Justice, than Ms Clinton! The USA is just all talk, when it comes to Pakistan. They have a huge hand in the mess thats going on!

 

[dineshchaturvedi]

This statement has nothing to do with India so please keep India out. What she meant was serious and IMO indirect MSG to Pakistan. What will happen will depend largly on what kind of attack takes place and what kind of corporation Pakistan provides, so far whenever USA got series Pakistan has been bowing down.

 

[Agantrope]

Pakistan PM: blah blah blah.....
