1. COVID-19 IN PAKISTAN
- 24-hour count: Pakistan reported 3,270 new cases and 72 deaths in 24 hours. Pakistan also conducted 39,742 tests in the span of 24 hours (P.S. this data was last updated on March 23 at 8:27am).

It’s commercial name is Convidecia. The govt approved a price of PKR 4,225 ($27.15) per injection for Convidecia.
2. Who else was behind the recent Pak-India ceasefire?
What’s going on? Remember the ceasefire agreement between Pakistan and India last month? Apparently, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) brokered the ceasefire agreement. Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry didn’t comment on the UAE’s role in ceasefire talks. The Foreign Ministries of India and the UAE didn’t say much either. The UAE just issued a statement welcoming the ceasefire announcement.
Next steps: As a part of the ceasefire process, India and Pakistan are expected to:
- Reinstate envoys in each other’s countries
- Talk about resuming trade
- The hardest part…reach a lasting resolution on Kashmir
The context: Last month, top officials in Pakistan and India agreed to observe a truce along the highly militarized Line of Control (LoC). The LoC runs between Pakistan-administered Kashmir and India-administered Kashmir. Pakistan and India frequently accused each other of violating a 2003 ceasefire agreement.
The bottom line: The UAE has trade and diplomatic connections with both Pakistan and India. It makes sense for the UAE to encourage peace between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
