Yes, that might be true to some extent, but if they are against Pakistani interests and if they are supporting Indian interests, what makes you think Iran will support Chinese interests?
I think we Pakistanis need to stop being such reactionaries. Iran is not Anti-Pakistan, our government does not know how to promote our interests with other countries. If you talk to Iranians, you would be surprised to find how many times the Iranians say we have stepped on their toes and we are not even aware of those offences. How hard have we tried to be kind to Iran. We have our Sunni Mullahs blowing up shias in their Mosques. How do you think such stories play out in Iran. I am a Sunni Pakistani and I am ashamed of these Sunni fundamentalist Blowing up worshippers in Shia and Ahmedi Mosques. The funny thing is they believe they are doing it to please God, as if Allah swt would be pleased by such Heinous Sins.
I am proud of our Pakistani Shia brothers who are highly educated segment of our society. We should be more like Iran. We should have excellent realtionship with both Iran and Saudi Arabia. Our relationships should not be with one at the expense of our relationship with the other.
Pakistan's Foreign Policy should gear itself to prioritizing its relationship with the following countries in this order of priority:
1. China
2. Turkey
3. Iran
4. Saudi Arabia
5. UAE and Gulf countries
6. Afghanistan
7. Eygpt
8. India ( to be moved up the ladder as they respond positively to friendship gestures ).
( Apart from countries with whom we have had Historical ties like China, Turkey and Saudi Arabia - we should prioritize our relationship with our neighbours).
We should also target our Trade and Co-Investment priorities in the same order of priority. It makes sense to do business with people who support you. Any contracts open to Foreign countries should opt for joint ventures with these partners.
Iran is a neighbour of ours and we need to do everything to improve our relationship with Iran and support their interests. Now after we have done right by them and our conscience is clear that we have been good friends and neighbours to them and they don't respond, then we will be justified to ignore them.
who is worried about you??
