This is a very important visit of Chief sahab. Saudis are already warned for their support to proxy terror groups in Pakistan. Jama ud Dawa, though not a terror outfit, but wahabi mindset & saudi funded is banned in Pakistan through National Action Plan. Its a signal that any brotherly country will not be allowed to carry out its game in Pakistan. Enemies will be dealt in another way. LeJ & Sipah e Sahaba are already being targeted by several LEAs.

well said.


However we as Pakistani educated elite here do not realize that JuD etc are small fry.

Pretty much all of the anti-state actors get their money channeled through GCC. In other words Gulf countries +KSA is the channel from where money and other resources get directed against Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Thus the bottom line:

Pakistan can defend itself by fully integrating economic and miltiary defense of the region with GCC.

Can you all imagine if Pakistani crooks who run away with millions end up where?

Yes. GCC.

Thus it is extremely important for Pakistan to have closest cooperation both defense (and economic) with KSA in particular and GCC in general.

This is what Gen. Rahil Sharif is going after

But two many among us are throwing $hit on our ACTIVE military cooperation with these countries.

Sadly.
