Jordan–Pakistan relations

[Thəorətic Muslim]

Bedouin Tribes themselves are very very hospitable. (Kind). If they see you from far away they will demand that you stop and have some food and tea. Never knew the Prince's wife was Pakistani.

1) There is much potential for Pakistan to invest in Jordanian Energy, but Pakistan has its own mismanagement problems.
2) As far as Agriculture, Jordan is facing a severe water shortage, so Pakistan can't offer Water Management platforms.
3) Science and technology is rising in Jordan,
5) Jordan is beginning to produce its own Military platforms thanks to licenses.
4) Notice the Pakistan Trade Deficit? Not all products are Made in Jordan

The most Pakistan can offer: counter-terrorism training/ military products, agricultural products, marble/ granite/ gems etc.

What Jordan can offer: Military training/ refreshers (XE trained their SpecOps, and Israeli forces along with western nations) and more "Made in Jordan" products. Along with case studies on how to live in a tough neighborhood.

But on a serious note; Pakistan's trade to Jordan is quite low at only $55 million a year it is "Peanuts" compared to Pakistan and Jordanian trade with other nations. Most of Pakistan-Jordan Relations is based on Defense, and "Why not have friendly relations" than anything else.

I don't know why you involved Israel and western countries? whats your point?
Anyway, Jordan arms products are not more advanced than the Pakistani ones. The only thing Jordan can sell to Pakistan Is RPG-32 Hashem. Trade exchange vaue doesn't neccessarly means weak or strong relations. I hope Pakistan accomplish JF-BLOCK 3, so Jordan and other countries have it. A stronger Pakistan means a stronger Jordan and vice versa. All the best to Pakistan.

Im just pointing out the obvious. Its not a bad thing that Jordanian forces are training with Israel and other western nations. Joint military exercises just shows how much connected nations are with each other. Im not saying its a bad thing.

Jordan has the only Centurion rebuilding factory in the Middle East. I know hat Saudi centurions go there for repairs.

Jordan is focusing on improving its defense related production.

Jordanian forces are not training with Israeli in Jordan or Israel, but rather through a third party, where both are invited to serve in training and refreshment exercises.

My cousin from Pakistan (in MI) came to America, there was an Indian contingent who were at the base and participating in same exercises. The Pakistani contingent brought this up and got their training shifted to another barracks.

Another episode the Pakistani servicemen got a debriefing at the Pentagon with Afghan, Indian, Tajik, and Uzbek service members.

Not sure where you invented this from. I know a lot of Egyptians and work with them day and they. They are pretty decent people but you may be confused by their culture which is a bit rough and aggressive. I know a few Egyptian investors as well doing business in Pakistan. Mobilink for a long time was an Egyptian owned venture by Orascom.

Personal experience..
Although I met some wonderful people during my stay in Alexandria.
Cairo was however another matter.

[Donatello]

Pakistan's and Jordan's relations go way back.
I have been to Egypt, SA, Jordan and Turkey..
The first two I felt an alien..and not as welcome..
but both in Jordan and Turkey.. I felt as if I am with family.

Tell an Egyptian you are from Pakistan.. and they will look at you with arrogance.. the same goes for many Saudi's.
But in Jordan.. I had to just say Pakistan and I was hugged.. kissed. and treated like royalty.
Many a place in Amman when they found out I was from Pakistan.. it was either food at half price.. or on the house.

Yup, Turkish are very respectful. I didn't know many Egyptians in US, but i have significant friends where i live now. Even my advisor is an Egyptian Professor. Good people. I know people in SA are known for arrogance, but abroad, in places like UK/US they are are respectful as much as any Egyptian, Turkish or Jordanian.

Didn't know that one of the Prince's wife was Pakistani!

She's not she is Indian and she's born in Calcutta.

Good observation, at least someone has their eyes open. She is actually Indian.

Family background

Her father, the late Bhopal-born Mohammed Ikramullah, was a senior member of the Indian Civil Service in the Government of India prior to Partition. He went on to join the Partition Committee of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, later becoming Pakistan's first Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Ambassador to Canada, France, Portugal and the United Kingdom. His last post was as Chairman of the Commonwealth Economic Committee. Her mother, the late Kolkata-born Begum Shaista Suhrawardy Ikramullah, was a writer and one of Pakistan's first two female members of Parliament. Begum Ikramullah also served as Ambassador to Morocco and several times a delegate to the United Nations.

The Princess' paternal uncle, Mohammad Hidayatullah, was Vice-President of India and her maternal uncle, Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, was Prime Minister of Pakistan. Some of her other ancestors were Quraishi, include members of the Chishti Order, as well as the Iranian Sufi philosopher, Shaikh Shabuddin Yahya Suhrawardy.[2] Many of her male and female forebearers, on both sides of her family, were poets, writers and academics.[3] She lived in all the countries that her parents were posted to, but mostly received her education in Britain, such as at the University of Cambridge. She first met Prince Hassan in London in 1958, when they were both 11 years old.

I read those parts too, she is still Indian born, doesn't matter what her father did or what city she married in. At best she can be called Indian born Pakistani due to technicality...

Yaar, there is not point of her personality, what we need to know is she married him in KARACHI and Jordan. That's enough. So I haven't seen her coming to Pakistan.

On topic, I agree Jordan, Egypt, and Turkey are very nice people. Hope Jordan and Pakistan cooperation will increase soon.

Jordan-Pakistan relations have been strong ever since 1970 when General Zia helped King Hussein subdue the Yassir Arafat's PLO by commanding forces which killed ~2,000 of Arafat's troops. You don't get any greater full-scale cooperation than that.

thats right

during that time Zia was a Brigadier and he took command of the Pakistani troops in the fight code named Black September.
which in the end resulted in the deaths of the Palestinians.

ah.. thanks for bringing this up
this makes perfect sense

Yasir Arafat/ Palestinians were known to side with India ( re kashmir issue etc) and have a special hatred for Pakistanis. maybe this operation played its part in their behaviour.
