Saudi Arabia and UAE Decide Not to Withdraw $2 Billion Cash Deposits

[HAIDER]

Remittances are not gifts! Pakistanis earned that money in gulf states. Pakistan is also in long term planning for the return of our skilled labour in these states, especially after the last blackmail by MBS and the pending economic crashes facing these states. If it was so easy for these states to deport all Pakistanis, it would have happened already.

They will be deporting you Indians too when they won't be able to afford to pay. Eventually it will happen as the golden oil run is coming to an end.

In return of labor jobs , Pakistan has to buy oil and gas from GCC states, plus our Asharafia has parked billions of corruption money in UAE.

yeah. i think Pakistan has done more to prop up the GCC than what they have done for us.

Was it not already paid back by China?
If not than is it not violation of contract by Pakistan... would it not dent impression of Pakistan in wider world and make all contracts made by state of Pakistan, as suspicious and unreliable.

Having a corrupt and disloyal 3 time Prime Minister leading a nation not a far bigger dent to the impression of Pakistan's image?

Would you share the copy of contract you speak about?
I still remember, Pakistan have always received oil as aid and even Imran Khan received $6billion package where $2billion was cash and rest was oil!!!!!

Is this mentioned in latest transparency international report?

You are mixing it all up.

China helped us pay the first instalment and oil credit facility was cancelled by KSA. So if there was a contract as such, then KSA violated it.

percentage wise pakistan is more dependent on those workers than india, bangladesh or sri lanka

GCC states can replace all those pakistanis with bangladeshis, indians, sri lankans and africans.
you are right they cannot replace them in a day. they are expendable.

there are no real alternative sources of employment for the vast majority of those 4 million Pakistani workers
you are looking at 10-20% decline in living standards of pakistan as a whole

that is true. without those remittances pakistan would have no way of buying oil from Gulf states

Let's see how it all pans out. There will be no sudden and mass exodus of Pakistanis from GCC in very near future as doing so would be equivalent to cutting all ties with Pakistan - these arab rulers would be darn stupid to do that.

Sad to read the venom Pakistani kids are spewing here. Gulf and Pakistani ties extend beyond relationships between incumbent leadership. Any Pakistani who has lived in Saudi can tell their experiences, yes there are arrogant people like in every country, but the bond and connection between humble ones is truly remarkable and something Indians dont enjoy. Lets not sabotage that our selves.

Pakistanis have seen real face of Arabs, they treat us like slaves or their servants when Pakistan refuse to tow their line in Yemen they showed their true face, remember current times are not same as there were in Past when Shah Fahad and Sheikh Zayad were ruling their countries.

Also Pakistan is now close to China due to its strategic interest while Arabs are getting close to Israel and in US camp which want to contain China and it's allies.

4 million overseas Pakistani worker issue has been known to government that is why long term solution to that issue is being under consideration, and Pakistan will try to gain time so that some solution step by step can be implemented, CPEC industrial phase is also there to help mitigate that problem to some extent.

I'm sure there exist a contract, but if its violated by Saudis than i don't expect from likes of SMQ, Imran Khan, Sheriyar Afridi types to keep quite and give into the unlawful demands of Saudis without going public on it.
This remains a fact that SMQ gang is hiding the contract, and has told us nothing beyond ''heme Saudi Arabia se ek zabardast package mil giya he''

I'm not mixing up, we all abused Saudis on this very forum for not giving extensions and sharing news of Pak media where it was told that China paid by Saudi soft loan.

Can you name the special team who is leading this long term solution? why are they not considering to call back workers from all GCC ?
As a rule a person banned from one GCC country is banned in other as well and they share database!

Some things are not for public consumption. If there was a contract and KSA breached it, then Pakistan doesn't need to make it public - that's called diplomacy! You keep quiet on some issues and you voice on others such as when Pakistan took a firm stance and made public the intentions when it came to Kashmir, and SMQ had military establishment behind him - he is still in his post!

If mass exodus is going to hurt Saudi any bit, than i expect Imran Khan and company not wasting any moment in ordering Pakistanis to come back and cancelling all flights to Saudi Arabia and bomb it to age of Mohammad pbuh.

Pakistan's SMQ is working hard and investing $millions on building an anti Saudi team and international alliance on lines of NATO, once it's done, i expect no less than a big BANG,,, which will not be limited to crow hunting.

What a load of BS you come up. IK's ultimate goal is for the economy to grow to such an extent that would easily cater for any such return of Pakistanis. You forget that it was MBS who blackmailed with deportation of Pakistanis.

Pease change your DP to an Arab ruler's!

May be but since Pakistan claims it self as a democratic regime than it should be publicized.
I have never seen SMQ and rest of the minister gang practicing diplomacy, when it comes to Saudi Arabia. Yes they did try all in their capacity to sabotage relationships... like asking for $1billion aid hoping it will be denied and they will use this as an excuse to kill PMLN by labeling them Saudi agents.. In middle of loan meeting, Imran Khan standing to audience and demanding release of prisoners, again hoping it will not be granted and can provide opportunity to isolate Pakistan from GCC... in obedience to Indian cold start.

On Kashmir, I wonder what is demand of SMQ to Saudi Arabia and why is he making such demands and than going public to a journalist, with dubious record.
BTW, later foreign office did a U trun on SMQ leaks and also Imran Khan denied on leaks which were linked with him.

If Pakistan was any serious, Imran Khan would not be offering him self for noble peace prize in exchange of offering KASHMIR as Indian territory, where first condition was returning Abhinandan directly to India, in blatant violation UN rules of prisoner exchange.

Saudi soft loan is already paid and we have already cursed Saudis for taking their money back:
