Pakistan's economic future depends on its ties with India: US

[Brahmos_2]

Good relations with India are OK

but we should not have very strong economic relations with India.

otherwise we will become like Bangladesh under them because of them being possible than our most major trade partner after giving them MFN status.

or MFN status should be given on a condition that export from india to pak should not cross the export of pak to india.

That is not going to happen....The items India exports is entirely different form what Pakistan exports...

NEW DELHI: Pakistan's economic future will mainly depend on its peaceful relationship with India, US Deputy Secretary of Defence Ashton Carter said here today.

"We (India and the US) talked about Pakistan and Afghanistan. There is new government in Islamabad and one thing I learnt there (in Pakistan) it gives high priority to economic development. Fundamentally, Pakistan's future economically depends on its peaceful relations with India," he said.

The American defence official was asked if the situation in Af-Pak region was discussed during his talks with Indian officials and whether concern was voiced over Islamabad's failure to deliver on the terrorism front.

He said Pakistan faced major security threat from within in the form of terrorism and it did not have any security issues from its neighbours.

Carter said Pakistan also had a major role to play in Afghanistan's internal security and stability which would also help it economically by providing trade routes to the Central Asian region.

On whether the recent friction on the Line of Control between India and Pakistan was a matter of concern for the US, Carter said the issue was a bilateral one and the US was interested in the two countries having good ties between them.

Asked to comment on the situation in Afghanistan where the American forces would start pulling out in 2014, he said the Afghan forces were taking leads in security operations in that country and are succeeding also.

"Afghan forces are succeeding. They are taking losses because they are operating independently for the first time. Afghans are taking the lead and they are successful. It is not correct that we are leaving Afghanistan," Carter said.

The American defence official said the US will have an enduring presence in Afghanistan for many years and a bilateral security agreement was expected to be signed between the two countries in next few weeks in this regard.

Carter said the US forces there have excess equipment and a lot of countries have shown interest in taking it. American officials said India has not shown any interest in procuring the second-hand defence equipment left there.

Pakistan's economic future depends on its ties with India: US - The Economic Times

Pakistan's economic future depends on reducing corruption and defeating terrorism, NOT by improving ties with India.
India needs to stop their support for BLA (providing Money, weapon, training).
Set the date for resolving Kashmir conflict.
Stop Human rights violations in Kashmir.
Stop fake attacks to pressure Pakistan (example - Fake 2008 Mumbai attacks)
Stop Pakistan bashing in their media.

India can afford not to have relations or peace with Pakistan, but Pakistan cannot. The dividends of peace between India and Pak are much greater for Pakistan than for India, and Indian establishment know this. No wonder inspite of repeated invitations and requests MMS has not visited Pak.

Forget about the MFN,

A small anecdote,a pak doctor here,i know of,she used to tell me that medicine and medical equipment is much cheaper to buy from india than from the western countries.

This MFN issue only shows your lack of trust in your own manufacturers/businessmen and their ability to provide a good product.

Indians ll always consumer a good product,regardless of hwere it is from.

I like the rice from pak,it is different and i like to use it for pulao and to make fried rice.

i dont bother that it is from pak.

secondly,you guys can use your geographical advantage to some extent.

But for that you need peace in Kashmir and FATA and such areas.

This article is absolute hogwash. While regional integration is the way forward, Pakistan realized enormous economic improvements on a macroeconomic and social level.

Our ties - economic and cultural with the eastern neighbor were, are and always have been negligible. Such articles come from the likes of Stephen Cohens and those types who have their own agenda.

It's already obvious that MFN isn't happening. It's a non-starter

On what accounts is Pakistan doing well right now?

why is hasan nisar complaining on TV all the time?

Warmonger you have already forgotten beating bharti army got in 65? Try to invade again if you can. If Pakistan is extending hand for friendship then dont take it as weakness, we are not Nepal. This supa powa mentality of Hindus is the reason the relations are still bad.

We cannot trade or have any relations with India until it gives up it's occupation of Kashmir.. Treat India like Israel..

same is the case with India ....... if peace is given the chance in this region North to south and East to West economic corridors will benefit not only Pakistan but other countries of this region......

Can you provide the list of that dividend of peace which you are talking about...... for both countries....

 

[HRK]

I think you didn't get point ,India's economy won't depend on Pakistan

have you ever study economic in entire educational career my dear.....I really want to known your insight knowledge about Pakistan's economy sector wise......

 

[That Guy]

Topic title ; No it doesn't. Having good relations with India, and economic ties are most certainly welcome, but Pakistan doesn't need India to survive.

Now what DOES need to happen is for this foolish war in Afghanistan to end, and the TTP to drop their weapons. Once this happens, Pakistan's economy will once again grow at a high rate.

Now this is what you Pakistani establishment done by distorting your history.

In 1965, India won 1,840 sqkm of Pakistani territory, while Pakistan managed to grab only 545 sqkm of Indian territory. Now who won? 1965 may not be as decisive as 1971 when India managed to bifurcate Pakistan into two countries, but certainly Pakistan didn't win the 1965 war.

As on invading Pakistan, India is a peace loving country. It will never invade Pakistan or never did, and it was always Pakistan that started wars. So until Pakistan starts something foolish, I don't see any war between India and Pakistan.

As I already said, India wants a friendly neighbourhood, but the dividends of peace are 10 times greater for Pakistan than for India.

Can you provide the list of that dividend of peace which you are talking about...... for both countries....

You spend less on guns and more on butter. Don't you know the dividend of peace?

 

[HRK]

My dear I want to know the detail of myth which you quoted that Pakistan will have more dividend of peace than India..... don't you think it will be beneficial more both ....... to a certain extent India will be more beneficial ......

The Government and people of Pakistan must have a common goal of about bringing peace and prosperity not only amongst its own people but also amongst the people of the sub-continent-there are 540 million muslims in Pakistan,India and Bangladesh.Only peace and prosperity can vipe the suffering of the people.Therefore trade and commerce must take place amongst Pakistan, India and Bangladesh to bring a smile on the faces of the multi racial,multi cultural,multi religious people of the subcontinent.All these countries have a rich culture to be proud of.
