Andreeva wins first Grand Slam title at French Open

Mirra Andreeva won her first Grand Slam title on Saturday by downing Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska in straight sets in the French Open final. The 19-year-old Russian beat Chwalinska 6-3, 6-2 to become the youngest Roland Garros women’s singles champion since Monica Seles, then aged 18, won her third straight title in Paris in 1992. With her first-ever major crown, Andreeva also became the first player, man or woman, born after 2005 to win a Grand Slam. Russia’s Mirra Andreeva reacts as she celebrates her victory over Poland’s Maja Chwalinska at the end of their women’s final singles match on day 14 of the French Open tennis tournament. — AFP The Coupe Suzanne Lenglen will now take centre spot in Andreeva’s burgeoning trophy cabinet, which already features two WTA 1000 titles. “I’ve been watching Roland Garros on TV since I was very, very young, so it’s also a big dream of mine to win this tournament and I honestly cannot believe that I’m holding this trophy right now,” Andreeva said on court, before thanking her team and notably her psychologist. “Congrats to Maja for these amazing three weeks, passing through qualies, winning so many matches, beating so many great players.” Defeat at the final hurdle brought to an end an astonishing run which started in qualifying for Chwalinska, who won nine matches in the French capital to become the first qualifier to reach the final in the Open era. “I will definitely not forget these three weeks,” she said. “Paris will stay forever in my heart.” However, the world number 114’s career will now be on a different stratosphere as she will climb to 21 in the rankings and be assured of competing regularly in tennis’ biggest tournaments. “Congrats to Mirra, you’re such an incredible player. You’re so young and talented, it’s so annoying,” Chwalinska said. “Congrats to you, congrats to your team for an amazing job, and I wish you all the best in the future. “I wish (the spectators) could see a better match today, but Mirra was just too good for me, so I guess it’s her fault.” True grit Chwalinska displayed some early nerves as she dumped two serves straight into the net on the very first point of the match. Both players seemed to be struggling with the occasion, a situation not helped by blustery conditions on centre court, as four consecutive breaks of serve started the match. Poland’s Maja Chwalinska poses with the runners up trophy on the podium at the end of her women’s final singles match against Russia’s Mirra Andreeva on day 14 of the French Open tennis tournament. — AFP First Chwalinska then Andreeva held as they continued to probe each other in their first meeting. The Russian dug in and moved back into the ascendancy as she showed the greater consistency of the pair to win the next three games. Two Andreeva errors and an unplayable drop shot gave the Pole the chance to instantly wipe out that advantage but the teen showed serious mettle to pull off a battling hold and at 3-0 the writing looked on the wall for Chwalinska. Andreeva then rattled through the next two games to move to the brink. But Chwalinska refused to give in and held to make it 5-1, before breaking Andreeva as she served for the match. However, the new world number six was not to be denied as she pounced in the very next game to claim the biggest trophy so far of her fledgling career. A backhand winner sent her crumpling to her knees as she surpassed her coach Conchita Martinez’s 2000 runner-up finish at Roland Garros. The winner of that duel, Mary Pierce, was present for the trophy ceremony, a fact not lost on Andreeva despite it taking place nearly seven years before her birth. “I don’t know if I should thank you, Mary, as you beat my coach here in the final,” she quipped. “But I’m joking of course, thank you so much! “

First-ever AI-designed vaccine reaches human trials

• Targets entire family of viruses, animal-borne strains; aims to thwart future pandemics; initial-phase trials of 39 participants succeeded; larger efficacy studies loom • Experts hail move as ‘pivotal leap’ for humanity • Approach could end need for regular flu vaccine updates A “FUNDAMENTALLY new” vaccine designed entirely by artificial intelligence has been tested in people for the first time, in what researchers at the University of Cambridge describe as a potential breakthrough in the effort to prevent future pandemics, BBC reported. This experimental approach seeks to establish immunity against a broad range of viruses, including all known coronaviruses, rather than targeting a single circulating strain. Traditional vaccine development typically relies on a currently circulating viral strain. However, certain viruses are adept at mutating, causing conventional vaccines to lose efficacy quickly. This is why seasonal flu and Covid shots require regular updates. “We’re always behind,” Professor Jonathan Heeney of Cambridge told the BBC, noting his team’s goal is to reverse this dynamic. “What we’re trying to do is get ahead of the curve.” The researchers claim it is the first time a vaccine’s key component has been designed entirely by AI and then trialled in people. To achieve this, researchers compiled genetic codes — the biological instruction manuals — from coronaviruses documented by global surveillance programs. An AI system analysed these sequences to design a “super-antigen.” Antigens are essential components of vaccines that train the immune system to attack foreign invaders. This super-antigen trains the immune system to defend against the entire family of viruses, providing immunity even if viruses mutate or a new infection jumps from animals to humans. The technology is “surprising all of us”, Heeney said, adding it is “amazing what we can do with it for the good of humanity”. “This is about making vaccines that protect us, not just from today’s viruses, but protect us from what can cause the next outbreak or disease,” Heeney said. “This is a fundamental shift in how we prepare for pandemics.” Initial trials involving 39 participants assessed safety. A subsequent study of approximately 200 individuals will test how effectively the vaccine stimulates the immune system. Findings published in the Journal of Infection indicated that the impact on the immune system was “modest,” yet the results continue to generate excitement. Prof Saul Faust of the University of Southampton, who led some of the trial work, said the AI-driven approach “definitely has potential” and described it as “really exciting”. “What’s really interesting is the technology is an awful lot better at designing vaccines for potential pandemics when viruses are changing,” he said. While coronavirus research remains in early stages, the team is leveraging the technology to develop vaccines for other ailments. According to the report, they are conducting animal research into a universal seasonal flu vaccine to eliminate the need for annual updates. They are also developing a vaccine for the H5N1 bird flu. Researchers are also exploring inoculations for viral hemorrhagic fevers, including Ebola species. The BBC highlighted that the ongoing outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is caused by an Ebola species currently lacking a targeted vaccine. Professor Andy Pollard, director of the Oxford Vaccine Group, who was not involved in the Cambridge study, told the outlet that the methodology is producing compelling evidence. “It’s fascinating data, and people wouldn’t have predicted they’d be able to generate these immune responses,” Pollard said. Pollard cautioned that human trials will determine success, as human immune systems differ from those of laboratory mice. Broadly, Pollard characterised AI as a “game changer” for vaccine research, predicting it will accelerate development and “save lives”. Professor Marian Knight, scientific director for the National Institute for Health and Care Research, described the trial as a “pivotal leap forward in our ability to deliver broad, lasting viral protection”. “Another British science success story, this is a great example of how we can bring our research expertise together with AI to deliver new treatments,” UK’s Science Minister Lord Vallance said. “With the first human trials showing positive results, this work could help speed up the rollout of vaccines to benefit people all over the world for the long term.” Published in Dawn, June 6th, 2026

Dar congratulates countries elected as non-permanent UNSC members

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Thursday congratulated Austria, Kyrgyzstan, Portugal, Trinidad and Tobago, and Zimbabwe on their election as non-permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for the 2027–2028 term. “We wish them every success in discharging this important responsibility,” he said in a post on X. “As Pakistan continues its tenure on the UNSC through 2026, we remain committed to advancing peace, security, dialogue, and multilateral cooperation,” he added. Dar further stated, “We look forward to working closely with the incoming members in pursuit of our shared objectives and a more peaceful, secure, and equitable world.” Only 10 out of the 15 members of the council are elected, with no election for the five veto-wielding permanent members — Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States. The United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday elected Austria, Kyrgyzstan, Portugal, Trinidad and Tobago and Zimbabwe to the 15-member UN Security Council for two-year terms starting on January 1, 2027. Germany, which had lobbied hard for a seat, came third for the two places contested by the Western European and Others Group, with 104 votes, against 134 for Portugal and 131 for Austria. The contest between the Philippines and Kyrgyzstan for the seat for the Asia-Pacific Group went to four rounds of voting, with Kyrgyzstan eventually achieving the necessary two-thirds majority and securing its first-ever Security Council seat by 142 votes to 49. In 2024, Pakistan was elected to the UNSC, securing a non-permanent seat for a historic eighth term with an overwhelming 182 out of 190 votes. Pakistan represents the Asia-Pacific group in the UNSC till the end of 2026. Additional input from Reuters

PM reaffirms EU ties, thanks Kallas for support for Gulf peace efforts

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday met the European Union’s (EU) top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, at the PM House, where he reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to cooperation with the EU and thanked EU leadership for its strong support for Pakistan’s peace efforts in the Gulf region. Kallas, who serves as vice-president of the European Commission and the EU high representative for foreign affairs and security policy (HR/VP), is visiting Pakistan at the invitation of Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. According to a statement by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), the premier said that Pakistan was keen to further strengthen its multifaceted partnership with the EU. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar, Attorney General of Pakistan (AGP) Mansoor Usman Awan, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) Tariq Fatemi and other senior officials were also present, the statement said. PM Shehbaz expressed satisfaction at the 8th round of the EU-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue held earlier today. “The prime minister reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to enhancing cooperation with the EU in key areas including trade and investment, climate change, security, migration, sustainable development, and connectivity,” the statement said. In this regard, it added, he highlighted the important role of GSP+ in ensuring stronger trade ties between Pakistan and the EU. Discussions also focused on the regional and international situation, with the premier thanking the EU leadership for its strong support for Pakistan’s efforts for peace in the Middle East. He said that Dar and Chief of Defence Forces Asim Munir were playing a “crucial role” in these efforts. He especially called on the international community, including the EU, to work collectively to ensure lasting peace in the region, the PMO said. It added that he shared Pakistan’s perspective on the regional situation in South Asia, as well as on Afghanistan, with Kallas, also conveying his best wishes to EU Council President Antonio Costa and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and reiterating his invitations to both leaders to visit Pakistan soon. Kallas “appreciated the role played by Pakistan for regional peace and conveyed the EU’s strong interest in deepening strategic engagement with Pakistan”, the statement said. ‘Important partner’ Kallas, earlier today, termed Pakistan a major regional power and an important partner of the EU as the two sides held a strategic dialogue in Islamabad. She co-chaired the dialogue with Dar, which is the highest-level platform for structured discussion between the two sides. Addressing a joint press conference, Kallas said, “Pakistan is a major regional power and an important partner for the European Union. “Today, in our strategic dialogue, we affirmed our shared commitment to strengthening EU-Pakistan ties even further,” she stated. Kallas noted that her visit came at an “important moment”, adding that the “world and this region have experienced profound changes” since the two sides met in November last year. Kallas pointed out that the EU remained “by far Pakistan’s largest export destination”, adding that it was larger than the US and China combined. She further said Pakistan was the “world’s leading beneficiary” of the EU’s Generalised Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+). At the same time, Kallas stressed: “But GSP+ has clear conditions. Continued preferential access to the EU market depends on progress in implementing the international conventions underpinning the scheme. “This includes good governance, environmental protection and particularly, labour and human rights. We look to Pakistan to demonstrate tangible progress on these issues.” Kallas said Pakistan and the EU were deepening cooperation on a wide range of issues, including climate resilience, digital infrastructure, clean energy, migration and mobility. She remarked that people-to-people links were also an “important part” of the partnership. “I’m also impressed that Pakistan tops the EU’s global Erasmus Mundus Scholarships rankings again, the fifth year in a row,” she said. Providing details of the dialogue, the visiting diplomat said she and Dar exchanged views on “pressing global developments, including in the Middle East”. Noting Pakistan was the “main mediator” between the US and Iran, Kallas told Dar: “Your diplomatic efforts have helped prevent a return to full-blown war on several occasions and these efforts are much recognised and appreciated across Europe.” She added, “With your support, there is now a tenuous diplomatic opening to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Yet, any temporary understanding between the US and Iran must be followed by deeper talks about Tehran’s nuclear stockpile and other critical issues. “Lasting stability will require more encompassing solutions,” she emphasised, affirming that the EU was ready to contribute to a sustainable and peaceful solution. “We bring economic leverage, hard-won nuclear expertise, long-standing relationships with partners across the Gulf and direct engagement with Iran itself,” Kallas said. “I see a concrete role for the EU in helping to make any eventual agreement durable, whether through maritime operations, economic incentives that support long-term stability or other issues.” The EU diplomat also noted that Pakistan had been “locked in a conflict with Afghanistan”, adding that the fighting in recent weeks had “grave humanitarian consequences and also risks fuelling further instability and radicalisation”. “This is why we have constantly called on both sides to exercise restraint and de-escalation. Pakistan has the right to defend itself and its people in line with the international law,” she said. Speaking at the joint press conference, Dar termed Kallas’s visit a “significant milestone” in Pakistan-EU bilateral relations. Dar said that the gap between the last EU-Pakistan dialogue in November 2025 and this one was “probably in our history the minimum between any two states”. He noted that the last visit by the EU high representative took place in 2019, followed by “virtually no visits for seven years”. Therefore, he added, Kallas’s visit “signifies the growing momentum in EU-Pakistan partnership”. He noted that the EU high representative has remained his “frequent interlocutor”, adding that their candid exchanges reflected the trust between Pakistan and the EU. “We have been constantly in touch during the last year’s India-Pakistan war and so are we in touch during the regional conflict between the US and Iran,” Dar said. “We believe that the EU as an institution embodies the universal ideals of peace, diplomacy, democracy and commitment to human rights,” he said, affirming that Islamabad remained committed to constructive engagement with the EU and its member states. During the dialogue, Dar said, both sides took stock of progress made on cooperation under the sectors outlined in the Strategic Engagement Plan (SEP) 2019, including trade, investment, development, human rights, and rule of law, migration and mobility, and security and counterterrorism. Dar further noted that the EU was among Pakistan’s major trading partners, with a trade volume of €12 billion. “Pakistan-EU trade cooperation under the GSP+ framework is a win-win template,” the deputy PM remarked. “Our discussions today focused on further enhancing bilateral trade and investment ties between the EU and Pakistan,” Dar reiterated, detailing that both sides also assessed the “first-ever Pakistan-EU Business Forum in April as a welcome development”. Dar expressed hope that the business forum could become a “regular feature” of Pakistan-EU ties. He said the two also held an “in-depth” discussion on regional and global issues, which included the “US-Iran conflict, the security situation in South Asia, Afghanistan, Europe and the Middle East”. At this, Dar expressed appreciation to the Kallas for the EU’s “appreciation and support” to Pakistan’s efforts in the US-Iran conflict. “We are humbled by the recognition of our efforts and will continue to work towards finding a comprehensive and lasting solution to the conflict,” Dar told Kallas. On India-occupied Kashmir, Dar said he “apprised her excellency of our concerns regarding unprovoked Indian aggression and Pakistan’s principal position on the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, advocating for its resolution according to the wishes of the Kashmiri people in line with UN Security Council resolutions”. He also briefed the EU high representative on Pakistan’s position on the Indus Water Treaty (IWT), recalling the May 15 supplemental award by the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA). “Pakistani position on IWT stands vindicated after the court of arbitration’s supplemented award in the IWT proceedings arising from the Ratle and Kishanganga hydroelectric plant disputes. “The award affirms Pakistan’s central position that the treaty places substantive limits on India’s water control capability on the western rivers,” Dar emphasised. The two sides also discussed security issues, particularly the terrorist threat that Dar said was emanating from the Afghan soil, stressing that the continued attacks remained a “top concern” for Pakistan. Dar said that he also urged the need for the “strengthening multilateralism and consistent adherence to the fundamental principles of the UN charter”. He outlined the need “to address the existing and emerging international challenges in an effective and credible manner”. Shifting his attention back to relations with the EU, Dar said that the two sides had reaffirmed their “resolve to transform these relations into a comprehensive and mutually beneficial partnership”. Concluding his remarks, Dar voiced optimism that the Kallas’s visit will be “one of the many” she will undertake to Pakistan in the future. ‘Considerable untapped potential in cooperation’ During their meeting, Dar and Kallas “acknowledged the positive trajectory of Pakistan-EU ties and agreed to further strengthen the mutually beneficial partnership”, the FO said. “The two leaders also exchanged views [on] regional and global developments, ahead of the 8th Pakistan-EU Strategic Dialogue which is being held subsequently,” it added. In opening remarks before the dialogue, Dar said, “We have a great relationship with the EU; there is a great history. Pakistan sees considerable untapped potential in our cooperation.” He noted, “We have a number of areas where we can work together, particularly trade and many other areas.” Dar stressed the need to maintain a frequency of six months’ gap in strategic dialogues, as was the case between the current and the last dialogue. “We hold deep appreciation for the EU leadership and your engagement, particularly,” Dar said. He added that he and Kallas remained in touch on various matters, including the Pakistan-India conflict last year and the ongoing US-Iran war. “We keep exchanging notes and you have been very kind,” Dar remarked. “I think this interaction is very welcome,” he added. Dar mentioned an EU “strategic vision, which aims at providing long-term direction and strategic cooperation toward partnership”. “Building upon the Strategic Engagement Plan (SEP) 2019 and Cooperation Agreement 2004, the proposed vision seeks to elevate our engagement into a more comprehensive and forward-looking framework,” he stated. He added that the “vision document can serve as an important foundation for deepening political understanding, expanding sectoral cooperation and strengthening institutional linkages between Pakistan and the EU”. Dar highlighted that the continuation of the strategic dialogue “demonstrates our shared resolve to impart greater momentum to Pakistan-EU relations and to shape a forward-looking partnership”. He remarked that the two sides had “great discussions” in the restricted meetings. The deputy PM expressed the hope that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen would find some time to visit Pakistan, as there was a standing invitation from the prime minister. In her opening remarks, Kallas welcomed the “strong momentum for EU-Pakistan trade relations”. “EU remains by far Pakistan’s largest export destination, and I was surprised to hear that it’s actually more than the US and China combined, so we really are your market,” the diplomat pointed out. Kallas said: “This is really showing that the partnership is not only commercially significant, but it’s also a driver of growth. And beyond trade and investment, there are areas where we can explore the deepening of our ties, when it comes to resilience building, climate, digital infrastructure, and migration mobility. “These are investments in long-term partnership and really looking forward to our discussions today about the regional but also global developments and how we can develop our relationship even further.” Kallas also commended Dar on “facilitating the talks between the US and Iran”. “It is a conflict that is having an impact on everybody and the world when it comes to the energy prices, prices of fertilisers, and so this is really what we need to see — the ceasefire really holding and the talks continuing,” she stressed. Kallas mentioned Dar’s “consistent” invitations to her to visit Pakistan. “As you know, in these calendars there are too few days, but we found this day and I’m happy that we are here,” she said. The visiting diplomat said the “momentum of 2026 is to develop EU-Pakistan relations into a more forward-looking footing”. She added: “We have this contested geopolitical environment, rising tensions everywhere and real risk of escalation and like we were discussing, we also share the priorities when it comes to the rules-based international order that we need to develop further. “We are working towards global and regional stability, which is in both of our interests. We also promote free and fair trade and investment, and advance sustainable connectivity.” Earlier in the day, Kallas was welcomed at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by Dar and other officials. ‘Multidimensional partnership with EU’ According to the FO, Kallas’s visit reflects the growing momentum in high-level political exchanges and both sides’ commitment to further strengthening their multifaceted partnership. “Pakistan deeply values its long-standing, multidimensional partnership with the European Union, which is anchored in shared values, robust economic cooperation, and a mutual commitment to multilateralism,” the FO said. Kallas will also hold meetings with President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of the Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir, the EU said. The FO confirmed that she was set to meet Pakistan’s “senior leadership”, including the president and the premier. The EU is Pakistan’s second-largest trading partner, with the GSP+ status allowing the country to enjoy duty-free or minimum duty on European exports. The status was granted by the EU in 2014, with the European Parliament unanimously voting in October 2023 to extend it until 2027 for developing countries, including Pakistan. According to the EU, GSP+ status is a special incentive awarded to developing countries to “pursue sustainable development and good governance” in exchange for cutting import duties to zero on two-thirds of the tariff lines of its exports. Governments with this status need to implement 27 international conventions on human rights, labour rights, good governance and the environment. Though it has the status, EU Ambassador to Pakistan Raimundas Karoblis said last November that the country needs to “do better” to fulfil its obligations, specifically on blasphemy, enforced disappearances and minority rights. In December 2025, the EU welcomed certain steps taken by Pakistan towards implementing international conventions under the GSP+ framework, while also reiterating the “need for further reforms in the medium and long term”.

Taijul puts Bangladesh on brink of Test series win over Pakistan

Bangladesh are three wickets away from a famous Test series win at home after spinner Taijul Islam took 4-113 to rattle Pakistan despite a rearguard by the opposition batters on Tuesday. Pakistan ended day four on 316-7, needing another 121 runs for victory in what would be a record chase of 437 on the fifth and final day in Sylhet. Mohammad Rizwan, on 75, and Sajid Khan, on eight, were unbeaten at the close of play. Left-arm spinner Taijul struck key blows, including Babar Azam for 47 and Salman Agha on 71, to keep Bangladesh in the hunt for their first-ever Test series win over Pakistan at home. Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan plays a shot during the fourth day of the second Test cricket match between Bangladesh and Pakistan at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet on May 19, 2026. — AFP Bangladesh, who won the opener of the two-match series, also closed in on back-to-back Test series victories over Pakistan —having whitewashed them 2-0 on Pakistani soil in 2024. Pakistan slumped to 162-5 and were heading towards a tame defeat before Rizwan and Agha put on 134 runs to raise hopes of Test cricket’s highest chase. Indies currently hold the record for the 418 they scored to beat Australia in Antigua in 2003, while Pakistan have never successfully chased more than 377. Pakistan lost their overnight openers early before captain Shan Masood and Azam steadied the ship with a counter-attacking partnership that guided them to 101-2 at lunch. Pakistan’s captain Shan Masood (R) celebrates with teammate Babar Azam (L) after scoring a half-century (50 runs) during the fourth day of the second Test cricket match between Bangladesh and Pakistan at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet on May 19, 2026. — AFP But the afternoon session shifted the momentum back in the hosts’ favour. Bangladesh removed Azam after wicket-keeper Litton Das took a stunning catch behind the stumps off Taijul. Nahid Rana then cleaned up Saud Shakeel with a wide yorker for just six, and Taijul snared Masood for a determined 71, with Mahmudul Hasan Joy taking a sharp catch at short leg. Pakistan slipped to 200-5 at tea, but it was the stubborn sixth-wicket stand between Rizwan and Agha that frustrated Bangladesh. But Taijul then deceived Agha with a well-disguised arm ball to rattle his stumps and Hasan Ali fell without scoring two overs later, caught by captain Najmul Hossain Shanto at first slip. Rizwan and Sajid then batted out the remaining overs. However, Bangladesh pace bowling coach Shaun Tait remained confident the side would get over the line on day five. “I think we’ll bowl them out. I hope,” he said. “Our guys stayed in the fight, stayed in the contest. They got on top of us for a period of time but to take those two wickets towards the end — we went into the changing rooms fairly happy.” Pakistan batting coach Asad Shafiq said: “I have a lot of hope because of the way we responded as a batting unit today. If this partnership between Rizwan and Sajid goes long, I am very optimistic. “
