ISLAMABAD (AP) - A Pakistani government official says representatives of 23 Asian countries are meeting in Islamabad to talk about creating a regional block similar to the European Union.

The chairman of Pakistan's upper house of the parliament, Raza Rabbani, addressed the gathering on Tuesday. He urged the participants to take steps to ensure "that the destiny of Asia must not be directed by the capitalist Western" states.

However, with huge rivalries among the countries of the continent, the possibility of an Asian bloc similar to the EU is remote.

India and Afghanistan have both sent envoys to the gathering, which comes amid increasingly tense relations the two of them have with Pakistan.

Ramzan Sajid, a parliament spokesman, said the Islamabad conference is likely to suggest the formation of an Asian Parliamentary Assembly.


More than 70 delegates from 23 countries, including members of parliament and speakers, are expected to participate in this meeting.

India should have boycotted in order to Isolate Pakistan, this was a perfect opportunity missed

 

[Talwar e Pakistan]

Members of APA, SCCAP and SCPA will also be there.

Not too long ago, we held an ECO meeting as well - Afghanistan was the only country to 'boycott'

Was thinking the same. But then again, this conference was attended by countries other than the supa powa and its supa allies aka Afghanistan and Bhutan. These other countries would never cancel visits to Pakistan because the supa powa told them to boycott, this isnt SAARC lol.

Why Pakistan has invited India and Afghanistan in the first place ?

When Pakistan cannot give access to land routes to India then any EU like set-up is next to impossible.

All you have to do is to keep harbouring UN sanctioned terrorists and you will be Isolated globally, keep denying connectivity to your neighbours and soon you will be Isolated regionally.

Oh, man! Another sign of prevailing isolation of Pakistan as Modi thought and tried. Wondering how these idiot Indians receive such news now. Must be feeling helpless, hapless, disappointed, and cursed.

I can feel the pain and agony of swallowing bitter pills.

 

[ABCharlie]

Any EU like model is not possible in Asia. The only countries Pakistan has a slight chance of having one with are Iran and Turkey. And that too at a much later stage.

Why didn't Modi & gang try to boycott the gathering this time too (like you did in SAARC meeting)? Got disappointed? Realized your real worth? Came to senses? Or realized that you become a laughing stock for the world community by doing diplomatic stunts? Anyhow, we would like Modi & jokers team continue entertaining the world.

This isolation we can live with

Pakistan always invites every country, we are not like a dehati aurat and dont keep a grudge for ever

Yes, of course. Global and regional isolation is killing us, please keep isolating us:
