What's new

To counter OBOR, India pushes its own idea of connectivity to the world

Lol, so how much trade you have done. Why is that your country is still struggling with exports.

Also why is Pakistan important in the discussion? Coffee club (Which Pakistan is a member (anti UNSC)) groupings doesn't matter much. This is in no way connected to Pakistan trade. Or have any effect on Pakistan. Unlike our trades with Afghanistan.

Keep spinning theories, it's a good read.
why are you hopping around. India never made those roads was the actual issue and is an already used trade route which India is calming as its own lol. After OBOR it will be China's route to Italy and India will still use ships to Italy like before. lol I was just saying simple Fake news.
 
India want connectivity with the world....how much onions India is selling anyways
first delusional UNSC seat and now this crap.

:D Now I am hooping around? I gave simple answers, you are making theories with future blockades and power tussles between the countries. Later bringing Pakistan into it, then saying the grouping is dud as India is not involved in some ECO grouping, which should help us get rich at the mercy of Pakistan and so on and on....

It is not already used route (Face palm), it's newly constructed roads and rails (Although not every roads used may not be part of INSTC). Go open the links I have given you. And stop spinning theories,

For the last time. This is not a counter project to OBOR, may be in future this will be linked to OBOR, when OBOR is completed. This was proposed even before OBOR, it's nearing flag off after completion of all the dry runs. This project is not exclusive to any party. Although it's being constructed under the umbrella of INSTC.

Hope this explains.

Similar numbers to tomatoes :enjoy:

LOL counter project? This is no project at all. India is just trying to get chahbahar port with a 100 million dollar loan to Iran and Iran has not yet used that Loan. Now if you tell me that India is paying Azerbaijan for road construction that will be a joke because Azerbaijan can buy whole India in one day, You know how rich that country is? Come on man back to reality. Wapis puna jaoo and start making Calcutta to Delhi road. Or make connectivity with Nepal and Bhutan. lol. Dont dream about Europe because there is Pakistan in between with Nukes.

Ignored. :lol:Low class reply with Nukes and trolls.

Ignored because not of nukes or troll the real reason is that connectivity is only possible through Pakistan and that is not going to happen as Nazu is gone and no one care about India any more. Even Indian gutka is being banned in Pakistan. lol

Yeah, Pakistan is on the center of earth. Keep living in denial while we continue to do what we are doing.:-)

Nothing is convincing for someone who is pretending to be blind.
 
laughable attempt.

it is no match for OBOR and CPEC.

China has a much larger economy than India's and a larger population as well. lol.
 
Connectivity with what and more importantly for what? India is a third world country can't make anything worth to export, so why such non sense? China on the other hand is world biggest economy, make from underwear to Iphones and what not, it needs these trades links to export it's products.

I think China and Japan are good role models for Pakistan talking from a development and industrialized perspective.

Forget the west.

So, what do you think India's $260+ billion worth of exports are?
 
To counter OBOR, India pushes its own idea of connectivity to the world
When India stood up against China's OBOR+ in May this year, it inserted a new thinking to the whole idea of connectivity as an instrument of foreign policy. Until then, connectivity was how China would build its way through Asia and Africa using highways and rail networks — its excess capacity and capital creating fabulous infrastructure and debt underbellies.

India, too, used connectivity to further its own foreign policy, but not to the same effect. But as China continues to grow, connectivity as a foreign policy is being perceived as a certain threat by countries like India and Japan.

Therefore, since this summer, India has pushed its own connectivity mantra with most of its international partners, but with very different rules from China.

A cursory glance at joint statements between India and its international partners shows how New Delhi is trying to change the language of development aid and connectivity initiatives as well as getting its friends to agree.

In its most recent statement with Italy, the two countries "acknowledged the importance of connectivity in today's globalised world. They underlined that connectivity initiatives must be based on universally recognised international norms, good governance, rule of law, openness, transparency and equality and must follow principles of financial responsibility, accountable debt financing practices, balanced ecological and environmental protection, preservation standards and social sustainability."

These are the contours of the Indian version of connectivity as compared to China's OBOR.

The India-EU summit early September noted the same thing: "India and the EU acknowledged the importance of connectivity in today's globalised world. They underlined that connectivity initiatives must be based on universally recognised international norms, good governance, rule of law, openness ..."

Again in September, PM Modi and his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe pledged to work for a more connected world.

Their joint statement said, "strong commitment to work together to enhance connectivity in India and with other countries in the Indo-Pacific region including Africa ... ensuring the development and use of connectivity infrastructure in an open, transparent and non-exclusive manner based on international standards and responsible debt financing practices, while ensuring respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, the rule of law, and the environment." They further reaffirmed the importance of "quality infrastructure" which, among others, ensures alignment with local economic and development strategies, safety, resilience, social and environmental impacts, and job creation as well as capacity building for the local communities.

At the India-Afghanistan strategic partnership council meeting, the two sides "stressed the need to make the regional Transit and Trade Agreement more inclusive and comprehensive ..."

The clearest iteration, of course, lay in the joint statement with Donald Trump in June, where both the countries said that they "support bolstering regional economic connectivity through the transparent development of infrastructure and the use of responsible debt financing practices, while ensuring respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, the rule of law, and the environment."

Equally importantly, India and Russia, which is now much closer to China, plumped for this new definition of connectivity — "It should be based on dialogue and consent of all parties concerned with due respect to sovereignty. The Russian and Indian Sides being guided by the principles of transparency, sustainability and responsibility, reiterate their commitment to build effective infrastructure ... "

The quality of the weed that produced this article is simply off the chart !!!
 
So, what do you think India's $260+ billion worth of exports are?

India only exports 260 billion??? No wonder India is very poor. I won't be bragging if my country has over 1.3 billion people and only exports 260+ billion. China exports 2 trillion and US exports 1.4 trillion. Even little Taiwan exports over 300 billion. India exports only 260 billion and feel no shame and brag about it. No wonder India is going no where.
 
It's funny when you guys teach others economics. It's a mulitlateral grouping. This route was not a counter group to OBOR, the beefed up news title is just to grab attention.

The works began in 2009 even before Xi became premier, back in 2002 the route was proposed.

Now every PDF economists have opinion on everything, and they know nothing. The dry run results show the shipment costs were reduced by $150/ton of cargo. Since the number of days are reduced from 40 to 21 when transporting to Russia.


So According To Indians If CPEC Route Is Used By China Instead of Mallaca It Raises Costs Because It's All Land Route And Is Unviable But INSTC Lowers Costs What A Logic!!!!
