Current Affairs Past Paper 2023

Floods, Ukraine and a population milestone dominate the Current Affairs past paper 2023. Q.2 traces Pakistan-Turkey bilateral relations beyond the socio-economic and strategic areas and follows their geopolitical effects in the Himalayas, the Arabian Peninsula and the South Caucasus. Q.3 takes the COP-27 climate summit in Sharm el Sheikh and Pakistan’s catastrophic summer floods, then asks for the COP-27 road map and the measures for reconstruction and rehabilitation. Q.4 digs into the core causes of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its devastating impact on Pakistan. Q.5 presents CPEC as a great leap of economic regionalization and weighs its potential advantages, challenges and future prospects. Q.6 marks 15 November 2022, the day the Earth’s population reached 8 billion, and attacks rapid population growth and its severe consequences. Q.7 examines the influence of energy on world geopolitics and the shape of global energy governance. Q.8 returns home: the balance-of-payments constraint on Pakistan’s growth and the structural reforms that can raise export performance.
