Turkey and Pakistan strengthen media and communication ties
MUMBAI: Turkey and Pakistan have reinforced their strategic partnership with the signing of two Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) aimed at enhancing cooperation in media, communication, and public relations. The agreements were signed in Islamabad during the visit of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his delegation for the seventh Turkey-Pakistan High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council meeting last week.
Turkish presidency head of communications Fahrettin Altun and Pakistan minister of information and broadcasting Attaullah Tarar formalised the agreements to deepen collaboration between the two nations in the fields of media, public diplomacy, and broadcasting.
The “memorandum of understanding on cooperation in the field of media and communication” seeks to advance bilateral efforts in media and communication, fostering the exchange of expertise and best practices.
The second agreement, the “Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation in Public Relations and Communication,” aims to enhance strategic communication and public relations between Turkey and Pakistan.
Under the terms of these agreements, both countries will promote cooperation based on reciprocity and mutual benefit while adhering to their respective national laws and regulations.
The MoUs outline provisions for information exchange, joint initiatives, and collaboration on projects of shared interest. They also include training programmes, workshops, and leveraging technology to streamline citizen engagement.
Effective immediately, the agreements will remain in force for three years, marking a new chapter in Turkey-Pakistan cooperation in the media and communication sectors.

Magellanic Cloud names Syed Ameeruddin CEO of e-surveillance arm
Keeping a sharper eye on the future, Magellanic Cloud is putting a seasoned watcher in charge.
MUMBAI – Magellanic Cloud Ltd. has elevated Syed Ameeruddin as Chief Executive Officer of its e-surveillance business, bringing its iVIS and Provigil operations under a unified leadership to accelerate growth in intelligent monitoring and infrastructure solutions.
Ameeruddin, a nearly two-decade veteran of the company, steps into the role after leading the e-surveillance vertical. His career trajectory—from Business Development Manager to the top of the vertical—reflects a steady climb built on operational depth, client engagement, and strategic execution across multiple subsidiaries.
Over the years, he has played a central role in expanding the company’s footprint, strengthening client relationships, and streamlining operations. He has also been instrumental in integrating acquisitions, helping align new businesses with Magellanic Cloud’s long-term strategy while stabilising performance across diverse domains.
More recently, Ameeruddin has contributed to securing key mandates spanning railways, the National Highways Authority of India, and the BFSI sector—wins that have bolstered the company’s order book and deepened its presence in critical infrastructure.
Commenting on the move, Joseph Sudheer Thumma said Ameeruddin’s leadership has been “pivotal in shaping the e-surveillance business,” citing his ability to drive growth, build teams, and deliver strategic wins as key to the company’s journey. His elevation, Thumma added, is expected to further accelerate expansion in AI-driven surveillance and infrastructure solutions.
The transition comes as demand surges for AI-enabled monitoring, centralised command systems, and large-scale deployments across mission-critical environments. Magellanic Cloud’s e-surveillance segment—anchored by iVIS and Provigil—has emerged as a significant growth engine, delivering projects across banking, transport, highways, and public infrastructure.
In his new role, Ameeruddin will focus on scaling platform capabilities, expanding deployments in complex environments, and developing integrated solutions that enhance real-time intelligence and operational resilience. He will continue to serve as Chief Operating Officer of the company alongside his new responsibilities.
With this leadership shift, Magellanic Cloud is doubling down on its ambition to stay ahead in India’s rapidly evolving surveillance ecosystem—where seeing, increasingly, is not just believing, but predicting.
