Pakistan-Bangladesh trade volume to soon touch $1bn: envoy

Keep telling yourself that BS. The concept of nations itself is inconsistent with Islam. Go figure.

Is that why God says he created you into nations? Let me guess everyone spoke Sanskrit in PanBangendia?

God gave us free will. Muslims often do unIslamic things like creating artificial borders to create nations - some are honest to themselves about it while others keep fooling themselves with BS.

Pakistan’s economy is worse than dog $hit thanks to the feudal families that were allowed to run riot and corruption within the military.
Bangladesh has neither and has made rapid gains as a result.

East Pakistan's border were carved in blood of a political will through a political movement via democratic principles.

Bangladesh is an artificial entity borne out of primitive human instincts of being superior.

God's given free will you have used to negate the 2nd part of the slogan of Pakistan.

An economy larger than Pak has 1/3rd the electricity consumption,

Prove this 1/3rd electricity consumption claim with reliable data from international agencies.

Guys, we should all cool down as @waz said.

I admit that I should have used more careful language in my initial post as that probably came across a little disparaging.

Just looking at the potential market size of BD in the 2030s then Pakistan should look at how it can take advantage.

India has just sent 16 billion US dollars of goods into BD last fiscal and there is no reason that Pakistan cannot capture a significant part of that as a lot of this is foodstuffs.

Already Pakistan is exporting near 1 billion US dollars into BD and it is fine for BD to have a massive trade deficit with it as the two economies do not have mutual synergies.

As I have already stated, I think Pakistan should look at specific products such as in the food sector as no-matter how efficient BD agriculture becomes it will need lots of food imports as the taste for fruits and meats increases.

For this Pakistan needs to look at mechanizing it's agriculture more in order to increase productivity and any excess can be exported to countries such as BD.

Unfortunately due to current BD government there is little to no prospect of BD-Pakistan co-operation in the defence field as Pakistan has a lot of knowledge and equipment that would be useful to BD. As an example BAF really needs to be taught how to become a real airforce by a professional air force like PAF as it does not have a clue right now!

It is great to see that BD is taking near 1 billion US dollars of Pakistani imports and there is no reason this cannot get to maybe 3-5 billion US dollars by 2030.

Funny today there are millions of illegal bangladeshis in Pak, yet almost no Pakistani in Bangladesh if Bangladesh is ahead of Pakistan in development why dont any bangladeshis stay in there shithole country instead of migrating to India or Pakistan?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengalis_in_Pakistan#:~:text=Pakistani Bengalis (Bengali: পাকিস্তানি বাঙালি,migrated from Bangladesh after 1971.

2.5 million bangladeshis in pak, close to 7-8 million illegally in India. Bengalis want to live anywhere BUT bangladesh By nature these namak harams are very similar to Afgunis. When will Mir Bajwa stand up for our interest and send these illegals back??? We have seen how the burmanese dealt with these termites, we see how India is dealing with these termites today.Enough with ummah chummah crap we need to deal with these Parasites in Pak today as well!!!

Pak needs to have the following policy vis via Bangladesh

1) Trade on equal basis only. All pakistani businesses in BD should be taxed at 50%. Incentives should be provided to relocate to Pak. Enough with enriching those who stab us in the back

2. Stop all raw cotton exports to BD. Why are we subsidizing our econonic competitors for?

3. National registry for all illegal bangladeshis. Penalties for eating in Pak while also stabbing us in back. If possible we should exchange these illegal migrats for stranded biharis who gave their lives for pak in 1971. Any left over Bengali should be sent to camps or deported to India/Bangladesh

4. Continue to sell JF17s to Myanmar which has proven to be a true ally to Pak. Sell more weaponry on a credit basis. Sell BVR missiles to that will keep the shitty BD airforce with a dozen F7s/Mig29 in check for next decade. Medium range missiles such as MRLS/SHORT range cruise missiles should also be sold with the ability to strike Dhaka.

Not only will it increase our defence exports but also keep backstabbing bangladeshis in check. When bangladesh is willing to be subservient to india and work again Pak anyways politically or military then whats stopping us??? These idiot generals dont know 2 shits about geopolitics. We should arm myanmar to the teeth and learn from them how to deal with 2 faced backstabbing bangladeshis.

If we implement such policies we will see how Bangladesh gives us respect within a few years, then we may consider equal ties. Until then it has only been a 1 sided affair to benefit bangladeshis at the expense of pakistan. ONLY NATIONS WHO RESPECT THEMSELVES WILL BE RESPECTED BY OTHERS.

You will suffer heart attack from this !

China has massive trade deficits against Taiwan.

I guess China’s capital city is now Taipei?

Your obsession with trade deficits is almost Trumpian level of immaturity.

What matters is whether you can pay for your imports. And that’s almost entirely dependent on how many dollars you have.

Looking at Bangladesh’s dollar reserve - they look pretty solvent.

You are ignored - don't need lessons from random people off the street.

 

[Homo Sapiens]

More roads are built in Pak in 1 year than are available in all of Bangladesh

Again bogus, unsubstatiated claim. According to CIA Factbook, road length in Bangladesh is greater than Pakistan. I urge you not to make bombastic claims without showing any proof.

I am just enjoying using their contradictions against them.

Indians have accepted the prosperity of BD and are hell bent on exporting tens of billions. God luck to them!

How can Pakistanis do the same when they think Bangladesh’s GDP is only 200+ billion?

It’s a conundrum they cannot solve.

Most Pakistanis on this forum accept BD's economic growth and GDP data.

There are still a few who are holding out and they just shout the loudest.

IK did want much better relations with BD but unfortunately he is no longer in power.

Still the fact that Pakistan is exporting nearly 1 billion US dollars into BD is a sign that relations between the 2 countries are not as bad as some think.

While BD needs to of course work closely with India, it should also trade with Pakistan for mutual benefits.

We were trying to discuss ways and means to increase trade between the two countries when some AL hacks started boasting about economic superiority in Bangladesh, as is their wont, thereby hijacking the thread.

I don't know what perverse pleasure some weak-minded people get by putting a whole region and country (Pakistan) down. Especially when Pakistan is going through a tough spot.

Only if good looks oqf cities would bring fortune then islamabas woukd have fetched pakistan one of the richest in the world.

Dhaka Chittagong looks like a country of per capita 3k, but islamabad looks like pecapita 100k but in reality barely is above 1k.

Was this development or all they debt burden you have is because of the luxury look of your country. Look the part, be like Bangladesh, if you are poor look like one, dont be pretentious. Spend on industries not on villas. Don't buy cars if you cant afford the petrol, take the bus and maybe one day you can afford the car. Atleast dont be on debt, look where it has taken you!

Maybe its a punjabi mindset to showoff, but you need the bucks in your pocket. May allah give them to you but till then be humble.

Aren't you the ones claiming Pakistan is poor and Bangladesh is an emerging super power?

It was one of your hilsa munching compatriots from the UK that started the flame war.

Every single thread you see this chuttiya talking about middle income economy by 2030... ect.

I mean holy shit, you guys pre ejaculate faster than the bhartis and their supa pawar in 2020 bs.


You don't see Pakistanis starting threads like this about India or Bangladesh.

Dude, this is off-topic now and I admit that there is a bit of blame on all sides here.

What are your ideas on how to increase mutual trade between BD and Pakistan?

Indians are killing it by exporting 16 billion US dollars into BD last fiscal and so there is a large market for countries like Pakistan to take advantage of.

 

[UKBengali]

Name the poster claiming Bangladesh to be an emerging superpower??!!

Bangladesh is a 3k per capita country. And that’s exactly what it looks and feels like. No more and no less.

I would leave it as this is off-topic.

Let him actually talk about the topic on hand and see if he has anything constructive to contribute.

 

[UKBengali]

Pakistan will soon need to import food so cannot export food.

And pak light engineering is not competitive enough to replace India.

I see very little scope beyond 1-2 billion.

That is food staples but there are opportunities in niche areas and in meats as demand in BD will never be able to meet local supply.

Like I already stated there is a lot of scope for increased efficiency and mechanisation in Pakistan to grow their yields in these sectors.

They have an abundance of lands that BD simply does not have and even with their increased populations they should be able to export some of it.

I agree there is not that much chance of BD exporting much to Pakistan but that is fine as BD runs lots of trade surpluses with developed economies.
