[Edevelop]

With Chinese President Xi Jinping’s approaching Pakistan, a three-day conference in the picturesque Chinese island of Hainan decided to launch a new Joint Pakistan-China Think Tank dedicated solely to research and development of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

According to a press statement issued by the Islamabad office of Pakistan China Institute, the newly-formed think tank “Research and Development International (RANDI)”, will have two co-chairpersons; Madame Zhao Baige, former minister and currently member of parliament and vice chairperson of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National People’s Congress, and Senator Mushahid Hussain.

“The new think tank is the first joint initiative of China and Pakistan which will be dedicated to research on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor,” said Senator Mushahid. It would be emphasising in providing an ‘Information Corridor’ to promote perspectives, data and information for policy-makers, students, specialists, scholars and companies of both countries.

The Information Corridor was organised by China’s most prestigious university, Tsinghua University, under the supervision of Professor Li Xiguang, who is also director of the Centre of Pakistan Studies, who had also addressed at the conference.

The Pakistan secretariat of the new joint think tank, RANDI, would be located at the Pakistan-China Institute in Islamabad, while its China secretariat would be co-hosted by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) and the China Institute of Reform & Development (CIRD), two top Chinese think tanks.

A work plan for 2015 was also approved at the conference, which was attended by former Finance Minister Senator Saleem Mandviwala, Pakistan Red Crescent Society Chairman Dr Saeed Elahi, with representatives of the Board of Investment energy, economic experts and Gawadar Development Authority.

This is a significant development, when our best brains start thinking along the same geostrategic lines. Mushahid Hussain hold enormous capital in Pakistan's geostrategic circles.

What's wrong with RANDI?

Does it have another meaning?

it means Whore in urdu/punjabi

 

[VelocuR]

WTF did i just read RANDI or is there something wrong with my eye sight?

Stand for: “Research and Development International (RANDI)”

Are you missing English vocabulary ?? Are you illiterates?

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

it means Whore in urdu/punjabi

Oh dear, maybe that is a mistake?

Since the abbreviation should correctly be "RADI" (“Research and Development International").

So here is a scenario I cant help but imagine.

Sen. Mushaid Hussain having tea and samosas with his wife during evening.
His secretary enters, all sweaty and short breath and yells, Sir RANDI wants your answer of important matters.
Sen. Mushaid spent the next two days in hospital because of a head injury.

Must be someone playing a prank.

The abbreviation of "And" is "A" (though sometimes "and" is not included in the abbreviation at all), but it is NEVER abbreviated as "AN".

So it should be "RADI" or "RDI" (Research and Development International).

RANDI doesn't make any sense at all. Since none of the words start with "N".

 

[shhh]

“Research and Development International (RANDI)”,

I demand the organization to be renamed! I am not telling about this to anyone, until it gets a new name.

Jokes aside, this is great news!

We need a Think Tank between two countries which only work on Defence related issues

 

[Devil Soul]

RANDI (Research and Development International) .. PLEASE CHANGE THE NAME !

It has been officially called "RANDI".

No matter how you hide the news and call it "RADI", it is officially RANDI and is all over the news.

This think tank could not think of a suitable name for itself!!

What eva floats ur boat babe, all i can see here is people hiding their butt hurt behind smiles & making fun of a name... enjoy the moments., but the damage have been done.......

Certain members and their cheap (and wishful) thoughts...

Looks like all the following should get their names changed for certain members cant see beyond their nose. Certain members need to educate themselves real hard that the world and its languages do not start and stop at South East Asia.
