New quad could impact India’s role in region, says Russia-based American analyst

[Dalit]

NEW DELHI: One of the major outcomes of the connectivity meeting on Friday was the formation of a new bloc involving Pakistan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and the US. Though officially the US termed the block as a pre-requisite to improved connectivity in the region, it has far flung implications in the region, especially for India.Russia-based American analyst Andrew Korybko said the block gives the view that Pakistan’s version of multi-alignment is more successful than India’s. “It makes the US a stakeholder in Pakistan’s stability, which could lead to America putting pressure on India not to destabilize its rival through proxy. Islamabad accuses India of doing so despite New Delhi’s consistent denial,” he said.

In a statement announcing the formation of the block on Friday, the US said the leaders agreed that long-term peace and stability in Afghanistan were critical for regional connectivity and that peace and regional connectivity were mutually-reinforcing.Washington could also have kept the Pakistan-Afghanistan-Uzbekistan railway line in mind while agreeing to form the ‘new quad’ to push its economic interests in the Central Asian Republics.

Apart from India, some other major countries which will feel the implications of the block include Russia and China. A former diplomat said the formation of the ‘new quad’ was done keeping in mind China’s intentions to extend the Belt Road Initiative to Afghanistan. “If China manages to extend the BRI to Afghanistan, it can use Kabul as a strategic point to spread its influence across the world,” he said and added that it could help Russia in attaining its long-cherished goal of spreading its wings in the Indian Ocean region.

Americans are in direct competition with China and know well that Pakistan will be a trusted Chinese partner. An economically better Pakistan means a better prepared Pakistan against India unless Pakistan accepts status quo and walks away from Kashmir. US has effectively plugged our economic growth and would continue to do so. I don't see anything substantial coming out of this "quad".

Agreed. This quad doesn't mean much in any sense. It sounds like another TAPI like project. Irrelevant and a distraction.

What the Americans fear most at this point is Pakistani Chinese CPEC extension into Afghanistan and CAS once the Taliban take over. The American think tanks have been predicting doom for the US once this becomes a reality.

In fact any activity that will make Pakistan independent of US will be seen as a blowback. This region needs to be independent from the string of US and EU to grow and sustain.

Basically, Indians are like... Yaar koi thodi si attention de do, hum bhi bare mulk hai, Abadi ke lihaaz se kam se kam

The author must be smoking something. There is no american alliance or quad with Pakistan. The US will only act as spoiler to any economic growth in Pakistan, china and central asia. You can see how the indian and US puppet govt in Afghanistan is trying its best to avoid peace and create more turmoil, trying to drag Pakistan and China into an active conflict in Afghanistan.

this new quad could be a way to get these countries to facilitate American mining companies in the region, as part of the larger competition with China.
