Saudi Arabia Silent Over Pakistani Oil Deal! - Opinion Videos

Why and why i dont understand Pakistan is not even looking to fix the source of the problem.
This is the biggest dent in Economy huge chunk goes for this.
2 major sources
1 Transport.
2 Power Production.
Biggest of Pakistan size and geography
If Pakistan develops a fast stable and cheap Railway system it will connect the country, Transport goods & people far cheaper and far quicker & and a fast connection from china will bring goodies even cheaper and faste than bringing via ships or planes.
To fully use CEPC this should have been implemented years ago.
2 Power Generation
Pakistan has a long coasta for Wind farms, Dead lands in Balochistan, Sindh , Punjab which can be used for huge solar panels farms.
Small to large Rivers in Punjab & Sindh for Hyrdo Projects .
If Pakistan has stable and cheaper electricity it will be good incentive for People to look for electric cars where chinese market and offer cheaper alternatives

Sir, Pakistan is looking to fix these issues, I think you ain't looking at the right places. Just news in the last week
CPEC ML1 for around 7 billion USD approved just last week.
Pakistan produced 23000+ MW, its highest ever production.

CPEC's primary focus has been transportation and power generation.

Hi,

Gen Rageel fckd up bad---otherwise he had been given the gulf on a platter when the Yemen crisis started---.

He didn’t fcked up, with recent events happening among other fires in the region, he saw the end game and knew the Gulf and Middle East is gone and isn’t worth the time and money. The region is going to explode like Beirut. We have other issues at hand to deal with, India and Afghan. Let the Gulf and Middle East kill themselves it’s not our problem as they are responsible for the state their in, they spent all that money on weaponry and gear and they couldn’t handle Yemen on their own, I wouldn’t waste my time either even if their were my child.

When you look at China and how it's trying to woo both Iran and KSA (by offering one nuclear tech, and the other future trade agreements) - you'd see that none of these countries are going anywhere. Somehow, Pakistani logic almost always fails to see that other countries have their own strategic interests as well.

If Pakistan can deny KSA/Gulf a security backup, as it'd promised them one - even if informally, they are well within their rights to not sour their economic relationship with India. It suits them.

We are quite an emotional nation and make everything a zero-sum game, when the real world hardly ever operates like one. Whether or not OIC picks up the case of Kashmir, does little for the state of Kashmir - mostly for the fact that Pakistan, its primary backer has nothing to offer right now. It's not an economic powerhouse, it's yes a nuclear power, but that only gets you a seat at the table, not a big enough voice to assert yourself. You can only well and truly assert yourself, when your economy dictates that of others. Where you have control over livelihoods of others. We, in Pakistan have almost always missed the forest for the trees, so do not see that.

The Gulf is not going away, a few fires or internal fights will not change the geo-strategic situation much. It's well within China, US, Russia's interest to keep the region at just enough of a slow burn but keep it churning, since it fuels weapons industry of all three major suppliers. =) No one would want to put their golden egg laying hen. We'd have become a security guarantor in the region, with a piece of the pie, but have since opted to sit it out. 'And' we expect the same countries to adhere to our national interests, why'd they do that? It just does not make any sense.

We are, quite literally, the only emotional state here - which almost always misses seeing the big picture.

Pakistan produced 37,000 + mw but uses only 23,000 mw.... we need more transmission lines to get the power to people . Economic Survey 2019-20 unfolds that Pakistan's installed capacity to generate electricity has surged up to 37,402 MW by June 2020 which stood at 22,812 MW in June 2013, showing the growth of 64 percent.

Here's a thought:

Coerce KSA, you have nukes. Scare them, tell them you have 3 days to approve a new oil deal, condemn & take action against India for Kashmir.

If you do not comply, we'll nuke you off the face of this planet. Good luck selling your oil then.

Na, they won't fall for it, in the end its the people of Pakistan who are at fault not KSA, KSA will do whatever is in their best interest but can you trust Pakistan to do whats in their best interest and develop human capital? NO!!!

A deal signed between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan back in 2018 involved USD 3.2 billion worth of the fuel, which expired two months ago and Imran Khan, is still waiting for a response from the Saudi monarchy over his request to extend the facility. The reason why $1 billion was paid early was due to a $1 billion loan from China. Folks, Narendra Modi’s Hindutva trolls are having a field day over this. However, there is some logic in all this. Pakistan was paying 3.2% interest on Saudi Arabia loan. It has now arranged $1 billion loan from State Administration Foreign Exchange (SAFE) of China at London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 1%, which at current rates comes to around 1.18% Saudi Arabia, the largest exporter of petroleum and one of the richest countries in the world, is facing an unprecedented crisis due to historically low oil prices. Brent crude, the oil that primarily Saudi Arabia sells to the world, is trading at 44 dollars per barrel, against the 82 dollars per barrel rate budgeted by the Saudi government in FY 2020.

Right Libya is still being ruled by Gaddafi. Syria is A OK. Saddam is still comfortably in charge in Iraq. Nothing at all will or is going to happen to KSA, UAE.

If the US put 1/100000000 of the pressure they are putting on Iran on KSA, they would implode in a week.

There’s a massive realignment going on and you’re acting as if nothing is afoot and people who literally humiliated India last year and have since brought more international attention to the fascist majority in India than the last 10 governments of Pakistan are clueless to it all.
