And you think you can match India in term of hard cash? A country whose reserve are built purely on loans? Money buys touts not loyalties. Afghans love Indian not bcz of Money but bcz they are anti Pakistan. After India if there is any country which does not respect our sovereignty its Afghans. FYI Afghan Taliban also don't recognise Durand Line as a permanent border. Also our trade benefits with CAR are highly exaggerated and we already tried this experiment before but failed miserably. First develop your country to offer something other than Agri products then have dreams of grandeur.
Still I can not see the relation of your post with a transit corridor. It only benefits us to keep Indian influence in check. You want us to keep bleeding via Afghanistan?
I see no harm if Afghan and other landlocked CAR cargoes move through gawadar and earn some cash. It will benefit us.

Transit trade to Afghanistan through Pakistan’s strategic Gwadar seaport began on Sunday with a consignment of bulk cargo from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
“The first transit consignment of bulk cargo through Gwadar to Afghanistan has started. Several consignments are lined up for coming days,” said Mohammad Sadiq, Pakistan’s Special Envoy for Afghanistan, on Twitter.
“We have crossed another milestone towards establishing our credentials as a transit city,” he added.
The ship carrying trade goods for Afghanistan anchored at the port, which was transported to the war-stricken country after Customs clearance, local broadcaster reported.
With its 600km coastline, Gwadar is a key deep seaport currently operated by China, which seeks to gain direct access to the Indian Ocean via Gwadar in line with its $64-billion Pakistan-China Economic Corridor (CPEC) megaproject.
The economic corridor is hoped to provide China cheaper access to Africa and the Middle East and also earn Pakistan billions of dollars for providing transit facilities to the world’s second-largest economy.
