Where will water come from to irrigate these desert lands? Turning desert into Greenland will require obscene amount of water. Looks like they will forcefully divert water from existing farmlands. Pakistan already is water scarce country.

From strategic point of view, it's good news for us.

Pakistan has plenty of water.


It is simply being used extremely inefficiently currently.


Initiatives like these should increase water use efficiency manyfold.

What a stupid decision. Is Pakistani army going to hire farm labourers as soldiers and agricultural scientists as Colonels and Generals ? Everywhere else in the world, armies are getting out of non-core activities to rationalize defense budgets and professionalize the service. Pakistan army is going in the opposite direction.

I am not sure if there is a desert in Punjab. The land acquired is probably suitable for agriculture already.

Don't start throwing brickbats so early. Pakistan has a pretty low agricultural productivity. If the army is going to invest in the state-of-the-art agricultural technologies like in Israel, it can act as a technology demonstrator and rest of the country can boost productivity. Army is the only functioning institution in Pakistan. If anything good has to come out of Pakistan, it will likely be from the Army.

$30B-$50B FDI in 4-5 years... meanwhile, global FDI inflows in agri sector is ~$5B annually

Pakistan is trying to do something unprecedented.
Not that it matters though, no one to question.

There are ~148 countries that have signed a MoU on the BRI.


Anglo-Saxon media only liked to talk about the few problems.
