ISLAMABAD: The Federal Cabinet Tuesday approved the delegation of some powers to the Strategic Export Control Division (SECD) with a view to ensuring effective implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540 about control on the export of goods, technology and instruments related to nuclear and biological weapons and more effective implementation of Pakistan’s commitment to check the spread of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs).
The move would enable the division to make timely decisions in that regard. For bringing about administrative improvement in the Federal Medical Teaching Institutes and allied teaching hospitals, Federal Medical Teaching Institute Ordinance 2020 promulgated by the president had already been implemented in various institutions.

The Federal Cabinet, in order to ensure timely decisions about basic food items in the country, demand and supply, assessment of prices, transportation and further strengthening of cooperation between the federal and provincial governments, Tuesday approved the establishment of a Centralized Database.
Prime Minister Imran Khan presided over the cabinet meeting, which also accorded an in-principle approval to the proposed law for the establishment of Centralized Database.
The meeting welcomed the inclusion of Shaukat Tareen as finance minister in the cabinet.
The prime minister stressed for early completion of the process for electronic voting machine and the right of vote to the overseas Pakistanis. The meeting was briefed about the progress made so far in that respect.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Wednesday submitted his application to run for re-election next month, in a presidential vote decried by Western governments and political opponents as a sham.
The scheduled May 26 polls will be the second since Syria’s war broke out in 2011, the first elections taking place in 2014. The United States and the European Union have called for a political solution in the long-running conflict that has killed hundreds of thousands of people and forced millions to leave the country before elections are held.
“The proposed Syrian presidential election this year will neither be free nor fair,” a US State Department spokesperson told Al Jazeera. “In this environment, we do not assess this call for elections to be credible.”
