جی بالکل جب ساری دنیا کے بڑے بڑے لیڈر جرمنی کا چانسلر فرانس کا صدر اور دوسرے لیڈر تھک جائیں گے اور روس اور امریکہ کا جھگڑا ختم نہیں کروا سکیں گے دیکھنا عمران انکو کان سے پکڑے گا اور مذاکرات کی ٹیبل پر بٹھائے گا یہ ہوتا ہے لیڈر عمران خان زندہ باد یہ الگ بات ہے کہ امریکہ کا صدر ہمارا فون اٹینڈ نہیں کرتا تھا لیکن جب ہم کُچھ کھا پی لیتے ہیں تو عالم بالا میں ہماری سنی جاتی ہے،مرشد زندہ باد

He should focus on fixing Pakistan.

Insaani e khota rehabilitation program is the need of the hour, likewise ending the Bhutto necromancy in Sindh should also be prioritized.

 

[Dai Toruko]

Very good points. A global citizen that speaks logically.
Peace is an option.

The reaction of some of my fellow countrymen is extremely moronic, to say the least. You guys have some really low opinions of yourself and you expect others to have the same about themselves as well.
Yes, this view was largely ok during the tenure of past governments but if anything the current government has delivered upon, is its foreign policy and restored Pakistan's image to a certain extent.
We do not want to be in a position to choose between the US who is our largest trading partner where the trade is in our favor and China which is our largest strategic partner and with whom we have a lot of stakes. So any leader worth his/her salt would definitely want to walk the fine line and not be seen as part of any camp as opposed to the cold war days.

That's the problem our people don't think. Pakistan should stop being a mediator and work behind the scenes to get these two engaged in a confrontation, while being on the sideline. Same with Ukraine/Russia -- egg them on.

As the sayings go:

Two tigers cannot share one mountain" (Chinese proverb)

When two tigers fight, one is certain to be maimed, and one to die. (Gichin Funakoshi)

Back door channels only work when there is an intent on both sides. However, Pakistan has rather conveyed to all concerns how we view the situation and that we do not wish to join any particular camp. Why is this so hard to understand?
And you think Pakistan will remain unaffected if two mountains like China and US fight? Think again!

It's possible to be unaffected, it's how you play it.
But you'll need smart tactician's, Indian's maneuvered pretty well during the Cold War. If there is one thing, I give to them it's their diplomacy, they never went *** deep like our duffar political class.

actually what India did is what we are trying to do as well. India chose to remain neutral while we jumped onto the US bandwagon turning Russians against us. This time we are trying to do the right thing by not becoming a party to this.

Pakistan wants to bring together US and China to avoid 'Cold War-like' situation: PM Imran

Pakistan wants to bring together US and China to avoid 'Cold War-like' situation: PM Imran​

Prime Minister Imran Khan during an interview with CGTN. — DawnNewsTV
Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that Pakistan wanted to play the role of bringing together the United States and China because "another Cold War" would not benefit anyone.
He expressed these views during an interview with China Global Television Network that was filmed during his recent trip to Beijing to attend the opening ceremony of the 2022 Winter Olympics. The interview was aired with Urdu subtitles on Tuesday.


During the interview, the premier was questioned about Pakistan's relations with China and the United States to which he replied that the world did not need "another Cold War".
"The world should not go through a situation where it is divided into two camps, it does not benefit anyone. In fact, everyone suffers," he said, adding that people benefit when there is cooperation between countries.
He went on to say that Pakistan wanted to play the role that it had played in the 1970s, when it was "instrumental" in bringing the two countries together.
"The famous visit of Dr Henry Kissinger was organised by Pakistan," he said, referring to the former US state secretary's visit from Islamabad to Beijing in 1971.
"So we hope to play that role," the premier said, noting that Pakistan had "good relations with the US and an iron-brother relationship with China".
PM Imran expressed the hope that the world would not see another Cold War-like situation where Pakistan would have to choose sides.
He said Pakistan's 220 million people were his priority.
"The only way I will get my people out of poverty is if we have economic well-being, which comes with stability and peace. If you have conflicts, the first thing that gets affected is your economy and that's the last thing we want."

Regional impact of Pak-China ties​

Commenting on the regional impact of Pak-China ties, the premier said that the "powerful relationship" had brought stability.
"Unfortunately, right now Pakistan's problem, and I think to some extent China's, is with our big neighbour India."
He said that he firmly believed that all political differences should be resolved through dialogue, but lamented the fact that the Indian government was an "extreme nationalist" one.
"We find the Indian government difficult to move forward with, specifically because of Kashmir. Kashmir is our only issue with India and rather than trying to resolve that issue, India has made things worse."
He expressed the hope that the issue would be resolved sooner or later through political dialogue, reiterating the fact that Pak-China ties had brought stability to the region.

Afghanistan​

Speaking about the current situation in Afghanistan, the prime minister said that the focus was on the people of the war-torn country.
"The consensus between Pakistan and China is that no nation has suffered like the people of Afghanistan [have]. For 40 years, they have seen nothing but conflict. And this is the first time there is a chance for peace, because there is no conflict going on in Afghanistan. The problem right now is the prospect of a huge humanitarian crisis."
He said Afghanistan was dependent on foreign aid, which had been frozen after the Taliban takeover.
"Until the Taliban government took over, 75 per cent of the country's budget came from foreign aid," he said, adding that the government was in a serious state of crisis without foreign aid.
"They cannot deliver the services because they don't have the money and their foreign exchange reserves have been frozen."
He said that Pakistan, China and several European countries agreed that the "likes and dislikes of the Taliban government should be set aside and the only thing on our minds should be the 40 million people of Afghanistan""

CPEC​

PM Imran also talked about the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) during the interview, which appeared to be filmed prior to his meetings with Chinese officials.
Calling it an "extremely significant" project, he said that the Chinese investment had come at a very crucial time for Pakistan as it was involved in the 'war on terror' and dealing with the financial crisis caused by two corrupt governments.
"China came at the most difficult time for us which is also one of the reasons why there is so much love for the people of China because a friend in need is one you always remember."
He said that CPEC had now entered its second phase which involved Chinese investment in Pakistan's industrial zones as well as the sectors of information technology and agriculture.
The prime minister said that Pakistan was an agricultural country and required help in increasing productivity, adding that "mutually beneficial" agreements had already been signed with Chinese companies.

Areas where Pak-China ties can progress​

PM Imran said that the focus of his government was geo-economics, adding that his priority was to lift people out of poverty.
"Almost 25pc of the population lives under the poverty line and the main consideration is to lift them up," he said, calling China a "role model" in this regard.
"No country in human history has ever lifted so many people out of poverty in such a short [span] of time as China [has]."
He noted that the Chinese president had recently announced the end of extreme poverty in China, calling it one of the "greatest achievements in the history of mankind".
"My government's concentration is to somehow lift our people out of poverty and the model we look to is China's. This is where we hope to learn the most from China," he said.

Kya piddi kya piddi ka shorba!He used to make more sense when he was on coke. Someone hook him up again so he doesn't embarrass the nation with these routine imbecilic statements.
