What's new

Invest in Afghanistan portal launched.

.
The biggest hindrance to investing in Afghanistan is its security image. If Pakistan's image is bad, even though things have rapidly improved, than Afghanistan's is 10 times worse.

The thing is, the only country 100% willing to ignore the security situation and invest in Afghanistan, is Pakistan. While India has provided aid to Afghanistan, it is mainly to counter Pakistani influence, they expect no financial return; As such, Afghanistan needs to start trying to woo Pakistani investors, who're already used to dealing with poor situations and making a profit anyway.

With foreign funding leaving Afghanistan, these small efforts, which making investing easier, will do a lot to help Afghanistan's economic situation.

1) Can you please explain how Hospital, dams, roads....etc pose danger to pakistan ?

2) Aid that does not comes with strings is the best one. ( probably you are too influenced by your chinese frnds who provide loans for interest rates). Try getting aid from western countries then you will know.
3)Only pakistan investors are ISI, haqqani...etc who are out to destroy afghanistan. Can you please name any funding more than a $200 million invested by pakistan govt in afghanistan.

Iran & Russia are countries which could invest to bolster afghanistan.

If you think that is the only place the money is going to, don't be naive. The money is meant to keep Afghanistan's anti-Pakistan stance, and a portion goes directly to the NDS, which has links to the TTP (one of the main reasons why the US no longer funds the NDS).

2) Aid that does not comes with strings is the best one. ( probably you are too influenced by your chinese frnds who provide loans for interest rates). Try getting aid from western countries then you will know.
There ARE strings attached, and even if there weren't, aid is NOT the answer. Aid does not grow an economy, it makes the economy dependent, which is something Pakistan has had to learn the hard way. Your point is nothing more than rubbish.

3)Only pakistan investors are ISI, haqqani...etc who are out to destroy afghanistan. Can you please name any funding more than a $200 million invested by pakistan govt in afghanistan.

$500 million investments.

Your argument is stupid, and nothing more than an emotional plea. India also supports terrorists in Afghanistan, the TTP and India are linked, whether you want to admit it or not. Not to mention the Baluch insurgency.

Iran & Russia are countries which could invest to bolster afghanistan.
But they don't, because they're not stupid enough to invest in a country that will yield them zero results.

Pakistan does so because it has little choice, India does so to counter Pakistan.

Now don't reply to me, unless you have a good point. If you reply with a dumb comment, expect negative rating.

I don't know about ISI but i know for sure your RSS RAW etc are good sponsor of Terrorism. They give funds at the cost of using Afghan base and NDS otherwise they won't build all these for free in which they won't have returns

I asked how you how these projects pose danger to pakistan you respond with factless statements. You did not elaborate how that contributes to anti-pakistan stance?

Do you have proof to show that NDS is funded by India? heresay's , rumours are not basis for discussion. Taliban leaders have been killed in pakistan that is a fact not a rumor, produce some facts like that then we can discuss.

Aid from west is usually in form of goods and services which have to be bought from country giving aid. The loans have high interest rates. Now it is not India's responsibility if afghanistan becomes aid dependent country. You did not say what strings are? Afghanistan is a sovereign country,if pakistan has problems it should take up with them instead of blaming India. India is not responsible for afghanistans action.

$500 million investments.

The link only says $500 investment but gives no details. where did pakistan invest $500 million? dams, bridges,roads,power....etc If pakistan had $500 million to pay they would have got F16's they certainly would not have invested in afghanistan thats for sure.

All hearsay,rumours ..etc Kulbushan yadav was arrested but we have yet to see any trial or factual data but only song & dance in pakistan media. After that it is gone totally silent. Did pakistan take up the matter else where? What did Iran say? India took kasab's case to UN, we have got several of pak sponsored terrorists on International watch list.
TTP is a product of pakistani shenanigans , if you think India is supporting them open a separate thread and provide facts lets discuss it. There is no point in derailing this thread.

Iran is just out of economic sanctions and they will certainly invest in afghanistan.

As a pakistani think tank I do not expect much other than factless stmts out of hatred for India. Threatening to give -ve ratings shows you have simply lost it. You have right to make your opinion with facts but not slandering. Stop dragging India into every thing.

If you don't know the answer to something so obvious, then you're not worth talking to. It is a well regarded fact that India's goal is to keep Pakistan's influence out of Afghanistan.

Do you have proof to show that NDS is funded by India? heresay's , rumours are not basis for discussion. Taliban leaders have been killed in pakistan that is a fact not a rumor, produce some facts like that then we can discuss.
India trains hundreds of ANA soldiers, special forces and NDS trainees every year, this isn't something that is even controversial that you have to deny it. Such things happen between friendly nations. Besides, NDS does get a part of its budget from the Indian government, as a "capacity building" measure.

Aid from west is usually in form of goods and services which have to be bought from country giving aid. The loans have high interest rates. Now it is not India's responsibility if afghanistan becomes aid dependent country. You did not say what strings are? Afghanistan is a sovereign country,if pakistan has problems it should take up with them instead of blaming India. India is not responsible for afghanistans action.
You have no idea what you're talking about, this is such a nonsense statement. On one hand, you praise aid saying it is helpful, on the other hand, you acknowledge and dismiss the fact that it makes the country aid dependent. Your stance is inconsistent, and completely worthless.

If you believe that India has nothing to do with Afghanistan's stances, then you're naive. India isn't spending billions in Afghanistan out of good will, it is to buy loyalty. Aid programs are never simply for helping nations, they're almost always used as political tools.

The link only says $500 investment but gives no details. where did pakistan invest $500 million? dams, bridges,roads,power....etc If pakistan had $500 million to pay they would have got F16's they certainly would not have invested in afghanistan thats for sure.
This is a completely dumb statement to make. Just because the details aren't readily available, it doesn't mean they don't exist. Pakistan has been building schools, roads, government infrastructure, hospitals for Afghanistan, this is public knowledge.

Here is an example from just 3 years back...

http://www.pc.gov.pk/downloads/Project being executed for reconstruction and rehabilitation of Afghanistan.pdf

Here is an article from an Indian source, because you seem to have trouble accepting Pakistani sources.

http://www.hindustantimes.com/world...development/story-7Skd94qcCC4PEBCoyBcIzM.html

And as for your stupid F-16 comment, again you have no idea what you're talking about. The F-16 deal was originally offered by the US, Pakistan did not ask for it. Just like the AH-1Z deal, just like the 1000 hellfire deal, it was the US that approached Pakistan, not the other way around. Pakistan didn't accept the deal out of principle, not that it couldn't afford it. If the US cannot be relied upon to commit to the original deal, why bother buying them?

All hearsay,rumours ..etc Kulbushan yadav was arrested but we have yet to see any trial or factual data but only song & dance in pakistan media. After that it is gone totally silent. Did pakistan take up the matter else where? What did Iran say? India took kasab's case to UN, we have got several of pak sponsored terrorists on International watch list.

If there is no point in derailing this thread, why derail it? India has been successful, not because it tells the truth, but because it is rich market, and the US and its allies want to exploit that market. Not to mention, they're also trying to contain China, thus they'll do what they have to, in order to get Indian on their side.

NSG membership issue is proof enough of this. Despite India not qualifying, the US and its allies are adamant to make an exception for India, which they know shouldn't be allowed.

Iran is just out of economic sanctions and they will certainly invest in afghanistan.
According to you.

As a pakistani think tank I do not expect much other than factless stmts out of hatred for India. Threatening to give -ve ratings shows you have simply lost it. You have right to make your opinion with facts but not slandering. Stop dragging India into every thing.
And there is your negative rating for posting a stupid reply.

Instead of actually addressing my points, you dismiss them, and pretend I didn't address a single one.

India is involved, whether you like it or not. It is the largest South Asian economy, and has its hands in every South Asian nation, directly or indirectly (even Pakistan).

You have too much free time on your hands -- great to see talent and hard work with the young Pakistanis

@A-Team

In addition to about above security specialist friend -- you may want to consult with the admins here they will be able to point out simple fixes in your content strategy.

As a layman (this is not exactly what I do for a living) I can quickly point our 8 - 20 flaws in your strategy/implementation -- really for a site that represents Afghanistan -- this needs a lot more work.

Afghanistan has been in a state of war since 4 decades and the situation is getting bad with 2 more suicide bombings in Kabul . Who will invest there?
