History

In September, 1944, after the historic Jinnah-Gandhi talks in Bombay the Quaid-e-Azam in a special interviw granted to Malik Tajuddin told him that he was convinced that the emergence of an independent sovereign Muslim state was inevitable and that the time had come for Malik Tajuddin to take in hand preparatory work for the formation of Pakistan's national news agency. APP was conceived at this meeting between Quaid-e-Azam (the founder of Pakistan) and Malik Tajuddin in September 1944.

The agency started in 1948 in Karachi, shortly after Pakistan's independence as a Reuter-owned Associated Press of Pakistan on 1st January 1949 with Malik Tajuddin as its Chief Executive exercising national control but accountable to Reuters London on financial matters as a first step towards the evolution of Pakistan's national news agency.

The emergence of a Reuter-Press Trust of India partnership for coverage of world news with special Indian emphasis on the news coverage from the region between Cairo and Singapore was an early indication of India's political ambition for a sphere of influence.
