Iran Offers India Joint Commission on Afghanistan

[Pappa Alpha]

As if you don't trade with Indians.

Actually when you were on Bhai Bhai mode with Arab monarchs, they were collaborating their actions with Indians to end Kashmir problem once and forever. If you had talked to Bakistani Wahabis living in Saudi Arabia, in this very forum, then you would have heard from them that they insisted on the fact that Kashmir was a headache to Pakistan and you should get rid of it.

You allowed Arabs to arm terrorists of Jeysh ul Adl and other savages who turned into a serious threat against Pakistan itself. What a coincidence.

Arab monarchs awarded Modi for attacking kashmiris in spite of all international norms.

Yeah suck upto everyone else just to counter Iran but never consider cooperation with Iranians, you are a super power and working with Iranians is a shame for a super power like you.

Quit dragging Arabs into this discussion. This thread is about Iran and Hindutva cooperation. Your mental gymnastics will not work here.

Iran wants India to cut tariffs on its chemicals, dry fruits and carpets, among other things, as part of the proposed trade pact. India, on the other hand, views Iran as a crucial partner in coordinating its strategy on Afghanistan, where New Delhi has all but ended its diplomatic presence in the wake of the Taliban takeover.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian has told his Indian counterpart Subrahmanyam Jaishankar that Tehran is ready to “promote economic cooperation” with New Delhi in Afghanistan through “joint consular and economic commissions”, during a meeting between the two chief diplomats on the sidelines of the 76th session of the ongoing United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York on Tuesday.

As per the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Amirabdollahian called for the early finalisation of the ‘Preferential Trade Agreement (PTA)’ between New Delhi and Tehran as well as a pact to finalise “energy cooperation” between the two nations.
The two foreign ministers also concurred on the need for having an “inclusive government” in Afghanistan, as both of them rejected foreign interference in the war-ravaged nation.



Since assuming office in August, Iran’s new president, Dr. Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi, has given a renewed push to “increasing” his country’s share in regional trade.

“By considering Iran's membership in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) and trying to make the port of Chabahar more active, we can easily increase Iran's share in regional trade more than double,” Raisi said during a meeting of the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution on Tuesday.
Iran, which was formally inducted into the SCO last week, also signed a $400 billion strategic investment agreement with China this year.




India, which has funded the development of Chabahar Port, has described the Gulf of Oman project as one of its most “ambitious” to date. For New Delhi, Chabahar offers the opportunity to trade with Afghanistan, the Central Asian states and Russia, bypassing Pakistan.
Chabahar’s utility to the International North South Transport Corridor (INSTC), a proposed network of sea, road and rail routes to trade between India, Iran, central Asia, Russia and Europe, has also been endorsed by other governments.
The focus on increasing economic engagement between Iran and India also featured during a meeting between Raisi and Jaishankar during the latter's Tehran visit in July, when the new Iranian leader said that the “current level of bilateral relations is not favourable”.



The negotiations for a PTA between the two countries kickstarted in 2016 and, so far, five rounds of talks have been held. However, the trade pact negotiations have been adversely affected in the wake of former US president Donald Trump’s unilateral decision to pull his country out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018 and impose punitive economic sanctions on Iran.

As far as the energy trade is concerned, Iran was one of India’s top crude oil suppliers in 2017-18, meeting 10 percent of the overall energy needs at the time. However, New Delhi was forced to halt its crude imports from the west Asian nation in 2019 due to fears of economic reprisal from the US.




With President Joe Biden indicating his willingness to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal, New Delhi has sensed an opening. Since Biden's election victory, New Delhi has more than doubled its annual allocation for Chabahar Port to $13.5 million in 2021-22.
Iran also announced on 27 July that trade between Delhi and Tehran had increased by 240 percent in the March-June quarter this year, compared with the same time period last year.

@Muhammed45 - you are correct Arabs are no better. But brother not sure you want to fall in that comparison bucket. We have sort of given up on our GCC brethren, and thought Persians were a bit better (especially when we refused to align ourselves against you, even after considerable pressure and incentive from the US and GCC). Also keep in mind regardless of the odious nature of GCC, that region does give us a massive employment base, Iran has very little in the form of economic benefits for PK. Can it be developed sure, but when the exports from Iran are BLF/BRA and Yadav then you'll get few buyers here in PK.

I agree with @Path-Finder lets keep our focus on China/Russia -and our other erstwhile brother Turkey. However Iran should know all alignments with India will be perceived as a direct threat to our national security. It is your prerogative, as is it our to define what our NS is. Expect things to get hotter in Iran if it continues to romanticize with our enemies.

na na let's bring UAE a well why not? India needs every friend to ease the pain

well lets see......who had menstruation pains and started a tirade against Pakistan on fake newj from their vedick allies?

unless the world revolves around iran then we are well within our rights to reciprocate to this move. its becoming clear, iran sees the world through a lense of, its way or no other way.

 

[Desprado]

Iran is acting like Arsharf Ghani and do they want to end like Ashraf Ghani?

 

[TNT]

The funny part is that its iranian hardliners that want good relations with hindus and trust them more than sunni Pakistanis. This should be a clear sign for policy makers. Indians forget that chabahar is of no use if they cant go through Afghanistan.

 

[doorstar]

Raisi shouldn't give Indians major economic points before reviving Kashmir autonomy.

My guess is, the ones who provided Indians with enough reasons for scrapping Kashmir autonomy are the real losers aka Bakistani Arab club.

I was wondering about how and when you were gonna spin this. and here you are!

If Pakistani's wanted to foment trouble for the Iranian regime it would have a hard time surviving (trust me when I say this). Which is why any change in Pakistan's policies will get the US/Israel and GCC lining up on our doors with incentives (infact they have been after us for exactly this sort of arrangement). What you don't realize is that if we play ball with US/Israel and GCC, India will be told to shut up and stand in the corner, and be a good girl, and neither China nor Russia would intercede on your behalf in a way that would impair their relationship with us.

So let's keep the relationship with Iran on the up and up (get off your Persian high horse), because we are neighbors destined to live with each other. I am sure both sides have grievances, and should develop a strong bi-lateral mechanism to address those issues. It is in the benefit of both. But there is a limit to Pakistan's patience. Any strategic alliance with our mortal enemy is radioactive for us, and we will be forced to reassess our policies. Ally with China, Russia anyone, but NOT INDIA.

5th is already occupied by khalai makhlooq. 4th is vacant

who's gonna dare end them like Ghani? who is crazy enough to want to be crushed by the US?

Yes we are giving too much respect to Iran, which do not deserve. I prefer Pakistan should give them one hard slap on their face and than talk. Inko apni Auqat ma rakh.

 

[Irfan Baloch]

I think it's a good thing. I also held a soft corner for Iran before but they are now exposing their true selves and motivations more overtly.

their current government is extreme even by Iran standards.

instead of feeling angry I suggest we invite ourselves to Punjsher and spoil ourselves with things the northern alliance enjoyed in the past.

nothing can come good out of your friendship with India. its led by Muslum hating racist fanatics.

We are surrounded by right wingers. The region will implode on this path.

 

[Pappa Alpha]

On one hand we have Turkey speaking for Kashmir at the UN and on the other hand we have Iran doing this.
