Malaysia looks to Pakistan after Indian palm oil controls

[KhanBaba2]

Pakistan should try to help Malaysia, Govt should urge Pakistani tourist to go visit Malaysia to boost their tourism and buy their product to support them. Do our best to help them in this difficult time.

Imran Khan could not go to Malaysia and you are expecting normal Pakistani to go there.

We should take 3-4 years worth of palm oil for every squadron of JF-17s. We'd save a few billion on palm oil imports.

These deals usually not govt to govt base, lots of exporter and importers from private sector involve , who need to be paid. Govt more concern about collecting taxes and smooth transaction then involve in products and export import stages. In most cases 25 percent payment already send to bank before first load arrive at port. You can't connect a defence product marketing to daily consumer products.

What? Imran khan do not go to Pakistan, are you high or something?

I meant Malaysia. Will correct it.

I think India is copying China in weaponizing trade and economic might but unfortunately for India, it doesn't carry as nearly as enough weight as China so I would suggest keep your head down and develop your economy further before engaging in adventures.

Its the other way actually. Use diplomatic issues to carry out steps which otherwise wouldn't have been possible.

I meant Malaysia. Will correct it.

Even a 10 years old on the streets of Pakistan knows why Khan wasnt able to go to Kuala Lumpur summit, so try something better.

Exactly. He can't go to Malaysia. Poor guy takes orders from the MBS.

Its about the Money and loan which KSA has given to Pakistan. When Khan did was in greater interest of the country, but of course I dont expect you to understand it, therefore taking a gibe and clutching at straws - carry on.

When someone takes orders from another, it is always because of something.

Pakistan will try to compensate Malaysia’s palm oil trade loss to India: PM Imran


Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday said Pakistan will try its best to compensate for the palm oil loss suffered by Malaysia after New Delhi imposed sanctions on trade with Kaula Lampur.

The Pakistani prime minister made the remarks while addressing a joint press conference alongside Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.

India, Malayisa’s biggest palm oil customer, has imposed a ban on imports due to Mahathir’s strong criticism of Narendra Modi’s actions in occupied Kashmir and controversial citizenship law.

PM Imran also thanked his Malaysian counterpart for raising his voice on the issue of Indian occupied Kashmir which has been under lockdown for the last six months.

“A radical and extremist government has taken over India and has put the people of Kashmir in a prison. The Indian occupying forces have picked the Kashmiri leadership and locked up teenagers and put them in prison,” PM Imran said.

“The way you have stood with us and spoken about the injustice in the occupied valley, I want to thank you for that,” the prime minister said addressing the Malaysian premier.

Speaking about the Kaula Lampur Summit held in Malaysia in December, PM Imran said he was sad that he could not attend the conference.

“Some of our close friends felt that the conference [Kaula Lampur Summit] would divide the Ummah, which was not the purpose of the the conference. I feel that that it is the duty of the Muslim countries to educate the western countries and other nations about Islam.”

“We are working on media projects to dispel the notions about Islam,” the prime minister said. “We will develop content for young people about the message of Islam.”

On the subject of his meeting with his Malaysian counterpart, PM Imran said the two countries will continue to work on strengthening their relationship. “We feel there are tremendous trading and investment opportunities between Malaysia and Pakistan.”

The Malaysian prime minister who spoke earlier said that the two countries will continue to work on enhancing ties between the two countries.

The two sides agreed for regular discussions to strengthen the trade and investment relations by removing barriers in key areas. Both the sides also expressed commitment to build stronger ties in the areas of defense, law enforcement, tourism and education.

The joint presser between the prime ministers followed talks between the two leader in Putrajaya. Both the sides signed a number of important agreements and Memorandum of understanding (MoUs).

Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Minister for Planning Asad Umar, Adviser on Commerce Abdul Razzak Dawood and Foreign Secretary Sohail Mahmood are accompanying the prime minister.

Earlier, the prime minister had a brief meeting with Malaysian Minister for Defence Mohamad Sabu at the airport and exchanged views on matters of bilateral interest.

PM Imran arrived in Malaysia on Monday in what was his second visit to Malaysia since assuming office in August 2018. He had earlier visited Malaysia on November 20-21, 2018.

PM Mohamad visited Pakistan on March 21-23, 2019, and was the chief guest at the Pakistan Day Parade.

The two prime ministers also met on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly session in New York in September 2019.

During his various interactions in Malaysia, PM Imran will share his vision about Pakistan and underline its positive contribution to regional and international peace, and security.

The prime minister will also highlight the dire human rights and humanitarian situation in the Indian occupied Kashmir, emphasize the importance of averting risks to regional peace and stability posed by Indian belligerence, and underscore the importance of peaceful resolution of Jammu and Kashmir dispute.

Don't care. We don't have a best friend and worst enemy list. Indian policy revolves around India's national interest and not brotherhood nations.

That is an evolutionary response. We understand. Your cultural and moral values are found only in India and not any place else in the world. No wonder your policy revolves around self interest. However, you could not pull off a 'brotherhood nation' even if you tried for another thousand years anyway.

Our cultural and moral values are found in many other countries but we don't need to do cultural blackmail for brotherhood relation. There are quite a lot of countries who would align with us, for example UAE. Is there a brotherhood? Nope, is there a common interest? Yes.

Too bad for a sole Muslim nuclear power...

Pakistan could reduce imports from Indonesia and increase the same from Malaysia. But Malaysia still would be badly hit. Replacing a market of billion people with increasing purchasing power is going to be difficult. Indonesia wins big.

"The palm oil industry has been haunted by health concerns promoted by NGOs without strong scientific evidence.

Although abundant studies have concluded that palm oil is on a par with other vegetable oils, the negative perception that palm oil is bad for human health has lingered.

The allegations of palm oil as the main cause of massive deforestation and environmental damage, such as forest fires and haze continue even though growers and the government in Indonesia have made significant improvements and have stepped up the introduction of high sustainability standards under their own certification system, known as Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO). In fact, forest fires in the United States, Australia and Brazil have often been bigger than in Indonesia.

The drivers of the anti-palm oil campaign in developed countries often simply ignore the complexity of the palm oil sector. They do not appreciate that the problems within the oil palm estates are related to poverty as 40 percent of the plantations are owned by smallholder farmers with less than 2 hectares of land.

No wonder that many in Indonesia and Malaysia have seen the anti-palm oil campaign as an instrument of capitalism to protect vegetable oil (soybean, rape seed, etc) producers in developed countries who are never able to compete with palm oil as its yield is more than nine times those of other vegetable oils."
