$350bn bid by 'Team India' for Afghan iron ore deposits.

[cross1993]

These are steel companies mate, not iron ore mining companies. They will be getting iron ore for their own steel plants.

Even then, from my experience Koreans always manage to offer better price than the Chinese, when it comes to buying iron ore.

If Chinese do not buy the iron ore, what do those companies will? Transport from Afghanistan to Europe?
Other companies is intermediary, only we can give the best price.

What $ 350 billion bid in Afghanistan? Thats lot of money!!! US companies will have the upper hands.

Why we need to bid so much for iron deposits while we have one of the largest deposits of iron ore in the world!!!!

just like TTP

$350 billion is massive.

If this proves successful, similar consortiums should be developed in other sectors for carrying out mergers and acquisitions.

I hope India get the bid accepted -- economic linkages are important for building peace and lives of dignity, and economic ties liberate, even as they bind and give structure or boundaries to relationships. Not just for the sake of India and Afghanistan, I seen this as potentially in Pakistan's strategic interests.

Pakistan can make a huge profit from transit charges.
or it may go to Iran and its new port.
