History Made - Russian Spymaster visits Pakistan, gets access to Gwadar Port.

[I.R.A]

I hope india too can share this trade route since there is alot to gain from.

It might look impossible in near future but who knows when peace prevails. It will give great boost to indian manufacturing units.

I got four out of five negative ratings for saying the same thing (by indian TTA of course) ........... though the manner of me saying this was bit you know .............

 

[Talwar e Pakistan]

Any Russian Sources?

 

[Riz]

Hopefully Russia won't demand to connect India to this route..........

Why not ? It will be good if China and Russia use cpec to trade with India , as we will also get our share through this trade ..

 

[Sunan]

Any Russian member here.I want to listen their point of view on this development

 

[FlyingAce]

Russia always wanted Warm Water Access, Modi can try to Isolate Pakistan but Every Country has their own interests & THEY'LL Follow their Own National Security doctrine... Its a good sign that Russian's have acknowledged the potential of Gwadar Port & shows that Both the Countries are coming closer on Mutual Interests...

Any Russian Sources?

Russians won't say anything, they'll keep acting and indians will keep burning.

If that was the case... then why did the Russian delegation go to Gwadar for a in person visit?!?

The Russian intelligence chief also visited Gwadar and after gauging the economic opportunities available in the area, gave green signal to the Russian government.

to make sense of the visit
do you think sir that economic matters are discussed by intelligence chiefs?
I remember that Russia wanted to use Taliban to crush ISIS trying to invade pro-russian central Asia
an event US has hoped for since 9/11 to disrupt central Asia
plus what i make of it is that the "spymaster" must have had a meeting with Taliban delegation
this type of news wont stay down for long west will come with full force against this news
wait a bit and you will see it in some well-known western news

Not sure how this will help Russian other then access to warm water . I think as they have decide to join CPEC defying India , now they should also start selling heavy weapons too to Pakistan .Pakistan's isolation seems more in Indian media then reality . This inclusion should also start the much delayed Russian gas pipe through Pakistan to India which both India Pakistan will beneficiary.

The pakistan government gave an official statement saying that Russia has been granted access to CPEC as per request. Foreign dignitaries don't Travel alone. They have an entourage.

Pak government wouldn't be granting approval to imaginary requests.

It says Russia is willing to invest 5 billion dollars in CPEC?

Russian businessmen express interest in energy sector investment in Pakistan

Under the project, a 1122-kilometer pipeline from Karachi to Lahore would be built with Russian investment of $2 billion. The pipeline would connect liquified natural gas (LNG) terminals located in Karachi with those of Lahore.

They said around 1.2 bcfd (billion cubic feet per day) of gas would be transported from Karachi to Lahore through a 42-inch diameter pipeline.

They said the project was of great significance for Pakistan as it would help supply the additional volume of imported gas from the country’s South to rest of it.

Pakistan – Russia Civil nuclear cooperation discussed

The ISGS, the sources said, had completed the procedure of hiring of consultancy services for the project, which was now in the approval process.

The commercial proposal submitted by the Russian side on August 9 was under the evaluation process by ISGS and the Price Negotiation Committee had already been constituted by the Economic Cooridnation Committee of the Cabinet.

Due to the efforts of the present government, the LNG terminal was constructed in Karachi in a record time. Past governments had failed to take concrete steps for the import of LNG to overcome energy and fuel crisis, they remarked.
