Potential Silver lining to panga with France - economic discussion only

[Imran Khan]

EU is one of our biggest Export destination and our Debt holder. Debt rescheduling will be effected. French actually helped Pakistan earlier last year by rescheduling the 1.7 billion dollars that we had to pay to Paris club countries. Pakistan may face a balance of payment crisis again. We have a trade surplus with them we could say goodbye to it. EU has also given us GSP+ Trade Preference that could be lost. Dollar can fly again. Inflation will increase further. We could say our hopes of leaving FATF goodbye.

Ultimately it will all depend on how will french and EU react. Will they understand why Pakistani Government had to do it (I Personally don't think so). In the end the Entire world will know that to bring Pakistan to its knees all you need to do is just push Islamophobia in the west to publish a few images and ignorant fools in Pakistan will burn their own house.

labaik labbaik labbaikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk who cares what situation in is this country . khadim rizvi have invented a formula for DEBT . o ayaa je ghuri

if parliament votes for it , kick french ambassador out,,,

EU is not going to sanction us just for kicking french out...

also getting middle east and turkey onboard would be prime so risk of counter sanction on french companies will keep the ball from rolling any further....

if parliament votes than obey their wishes and be sensible would be the best thing

And why will EU do that and under what provision? We are using Article 9 of Vienna Convention... which they can too but for what reason ? Because we declared french ambassador a persona non grata ?

What is Article 97, I cannot find it on their website. Have you made an error quoting the article?

Article 9*

Interesting read.

Article 9
" 1.The receiving State may at any time and without having to explain its decision, notify the sending State that the head of the mission or any member of the diplomatic staff of the mission is persona non grata or that any other member of the staff of the mission is not acceptable. In any such case, the sending State shall, as appropriate, either recall the person concerned or terminate his functions with the mission. A person may be declared non grata or not acceptable before arriving in the territory of the receiving State.

2.If the sending State refuses or fails within a reasonable period to carry out its obligations under paragraph 1 of this article, the receiving State may refuse to recognize the person concerned as a member of the mission."

The article is very vague as to the reason of expulsion which should help the Pak Government cause though reading further they should cite Article 29. Due to actions of some French citizens Pakistan government is unable to guarantee compliance to this article and until such time the ambassador is expulsed.

Article 29
" The person of a diplomatic agent shall be inviolable. He shall not be liable to any form of arrest or detention. The receiving State shall treat him with due respect and shall take all appropriate steps to prevent any attack on his person, freedom or dignity"

Listen, we have 7 or 8 different threads for you to bang your religious drum on. Let people who want to talk economics talk about that.

I agree. I think this issue will be resolved soon.
