What's new

Saudia Asked retrun of $3 Billion from Pakistan

This is the opposite of what was reported a few days ago. Not sure which of the two is fake news.

I think it is more possible that Saudi will help the current administration in Pakistan by offering some leeway :unsure:


Not really.
Saudis are no longer taking dictation from the Americans and facilitating American policies in the region.
And their new friend if not the overlord "China" is not going to be too happy about the American regime change op.
 
. . . . .
IDK whether the news is true or false but last time I heard was crime minister and his 'puppet of dar' beggar minister were struggling to retain the deposit of 03 Billion credited at the time of IK.

So it seems to be a first kick to the 'Beggars' - Good Going.

1) I've always suspected that there is an unwritten cooperation agreement between Saudi and Pakistan in defense-economic affairs. Saudi will not abandon Pakistan's economy and in return Pakistan should help shore up Saudi's core security interest. Asking for the money back in this stage is equal to abandoning Pakistan at the time of need.
2) Some Global Times articles seem to indicate that Chinese prefer Shahbaz over Imran. Chinese have the nickname 'Shahbaz speed' ? CPEC thrived under Nawaz, but has allegedly slowed under Imran. The Chinese were reportedly not happy with the establishment's move to remove Sharif family even back in 2018. Many Pakistanis here seem to think that US is the only party that prefers Sharif over Imran, but they over look the possibility that Chinese may also prefer a Sharif for Pakistan.

EDIT: The Saudi Aramco company has made a LOT of profits this year. $3 billion is nothing for the Saudi. I think they have to really have a problem with Pakistan to ask for the money back this year. :unsure:

The Saudis are not in pro US camp. They have gradually gone towards China and made strides to make their economy independent.

I hope Bajwa factored that in when he decided to capitulate and join the US camp.

Masters of our foreign policy should have known better.



Saudi are difficult to read in current times. WE have seen how they treated brotherly Qatar, let alone Yemen. WE do not know what Saudi plan to do in the future. They have their own interests and needs.

Pakistan have to find its own way in the emerging global order. Towards this end, Pakistan will have to develop its industries and learn to stand on its own feet. Pakistani leaders should focus on the needs of the Middle Class in particular because economic pursuits of this class show which countries are best to trade with and how the environment can be made conducive for SMEs.

GOP should also encourage people to join national taxation system to document national taxation flows. No need to pressure people on the lines of how many taxes each should pay but pay something if self-employed. Circulation of money should show somewhere and should not be concealed (black).

This camp and that camp mentality does not suit Pakistan in view of its population growth and ever-growing needs.

If true, this is very bad news for Pakistan especially since Pakistan will not be able to raise money from international investors due to high volatility prevailing in global financial markets currently. And while I am no fan of a government which comprises of traitors, crooks and murderers, ultimate losers of Saudi decision will be ghreeb awam who will have to face even higher inflation.

Perhaps IK can pick up the phone and convince MBS to rollover the deposit in return for army agreeing to hold an early election. Perhaps Saudis can increase the deposit to USD5bn if army agrees to help IK get back to power. Saudis certainly owe Pakistan because they have funded PML-N campaigns in the past. Now its time to put things right. A strong Pakistan is necessary if the Islamic world wants to hold its own in international politics. Saudis, if they want to strengthen the cause of Islam, should help IK get back to power.

It will be wierd if they ask the money sooner knowing how loyal house of sharif has been

What utility are you referring to? Pakistan's nuke cover may be something that Saudi seek. They do not have any alternative that.

Agree
Without chatrool people will keep saying
"Khata hey tu lagata be hey"

Once chatrool happens we will see new PMLN leader ship and better politics

They doubt pakistan will come to rescue since we said no to yemen
