KSA, Pakistan to expand ties, Sign free trade agreement

[KRAIT]

Finally KSA money will be going to good purpose (lets hope leaders don't transfer it to their bank account). I would like to discuss past investment of KSA if posters allow it. I hope they initiate.

KSA is really looking towards both India and Pakistan and its good for both the nations. As more common friends both Pakistan and India has, even if its economic friendship, the tension between both nation will surely decrease.

China is already a common partner for both Pakistan and India.

Now KSA investing in Pakistan and in infrastructure development worth billions in India can also become a third party rather than US, which can't be trusted.

If Afghanistan and Iran also become common ally for both India and Pakistan to much greater extent, we can see relatively peaceful years.

A far fetched but possible nation is Russia too considering its growing interest in Pakistan.


But I have one doubt about KSA's move. Is it because of possible IP pipeline and possible increased friendship with Iran.
I see KSA handing over Jundal was a sign to show that KSA wants to work with India at a condition that India decreases its trade with Iran.

Both India and Pakistan should be really careful.

P.S. Kindly avoid picking up few words and start bashing. Don't take points raised out of context. Read the entire post and comment with rationality. Thanks in advance.

There is no such a thing as Wahhabism. That term is an Iranian invention which has no place in the real world.

No it has unfortunately. What we see in Pakistan is a battleground between shia and sunni sects of Islam. There should be no fight at all. The differences are academic in nature. But one side is funded by Iran and the other by Saudis. Pakistan has become a front line state of a useless quarrel between these sects since first Afghan war and Iran revolution which coincided in time. Before 1970s, Pakistan was tolerant, peaceful and weapons free society. Now there are terrorists running amok educated either by Saudi funded madressahs or Irani funded types.
