UAE Armed Forces at Republic Day Parade 2017

[H!TchHiker]

This is just a part of practical steps taken by UAE to fulfill their threat of severe consequences to Pakistan. Pakistan should evaluate in broader spectrum what UAE & other Arab states upto when it comes to relationship / engagement with Pakistan. We should evaluate of having some sort of relationship with Israel if possible.

Why Israel.? two wrong don't make a right.. Jinnah Didn't recognize Israel so we will follow the father of Nation..If we think as Pakistanis or pakistan first we will have no issue what UAE or other GCC state relationship with India..Keep head high and deal with any country like it deal with you..
Our support to Palestine is not because of being Arab the reason is they are Muslims and Qibla e Awal..

This is a historic moment in Indian and UAE relations.

Indeed ..Good diplomatic win by India..

We should invite Iran troops to March in pak day Parade, surely Arabs should need to learn some lesson, or we should arm some hothies to kill few hundreds uae troops..

Not a bad Idea.

Where we are following Jinnah??? It's all about ground realities and national interest, although I don't see Israel as legitimate state but if it's safeguard national interest to have some sort of relationship with Israel then we should do it.

If KSA & other Arab states can have hidden /open relationship with Israel and the way they cosmetically support Palestine issue shows how interested Arabs are in resolving it, Arabs are more concerned fighting with Iran then Israel.

Ground realities ?Ok lets talk about it. For that purpose Iran suits more then the Israel in given equation being the neighbor provided if signalling is necessary towards UAE..As UAE and Israel are not open enemies to each other. Like Pakistan and India ..

Ok, Crown prince is getting a new destination to keep his $ 75 billion safe. And he will get a great welcome from India as well. Hope UAE gains its position as the top trading partner of India once again, our trade is mostly equal without tilting towards anybody.

Pakistani elites are corrupt and foreign countries use it in their favor, if we had good leadership UAE would have not dared to even threatened Pakistan after Yemen matter.

Pakistani elites are corrupt and foreign countries use it in their favor. Agree to this extent only with addition that they are without backbone too.

@Basel @Panther 57 It happens finally , the rumors many try to deny were true after all ..

@Khafee bro, it wont be seen as Good Gesture in Pakistan by UAE .. who do you think make this decision that UAE Team will go to India anyway ?

India won't/can't replace Pakistan in Middle East/Arabs.

The recent warming between India and them are primarily oil and investments. If you read a bit into events that would happen when the crown Prince visits , except the celebrations , its mostly UAE investments.

What I am trying to imply is , that the base of India - Arab/UAE relations is economics , while that of Pakistan - Arabs/MiddleEast/Turkey is more on Muslim Brotherhood and Security issues.

Oil..... hints are for about 2 more Strategic Oil Reserves to be sanctioned. One would go to UAE and another to Iran.

At the end of day , good diplomacy from our diplomats are earning us economic, and some strategic benefits.

Spot on analysis..Turkey is exception to this scenario as they won't come much near to India whether economic or otherwise as other GCC states are so Turks are viewed differently as they openly support on any issue to pakistan. Relations with them have different dynamics
The base of India - Arab/UAE relations is economics this is where the discord is among Pakistanis and that pop up different thoughts with the most vocal one is "Why to Share blood when not to share sweet "Now this is right or wrong is different topic.

 

[Mrc]

Although not a single fck would be given in pakistan that day.... but its still a huge diplomatic failure by pak govt...

Pak can invite iranian troops to march in march 17... also what we can offer iran is more than just symbollic...

Our diplomats shud also raise concerns in ksa qatar and all gcc states about this

This is not true, on ground in UAE Indians are ahead in terms of numbers and Influence, present ground realities are very different from time of Sheikh Zayed.

Perfect.

I think the news regarding India giving weapons are just to create some buzz in Pakistani media, and our media has done it very properly. We can see the results, how some of the news channels have started discussing about moving towards Iran.

But strategically India will be willing to start some activity in the sea in order to provide security in IOR, and may sell some fast attack crafts to UAE at cheaper rate. But one think that every body is missing is the space cooperation, I think UAE has decided to have its own space program and they might just look at ISRO for that.

Turkey is very different from GCC countries they treat us as brothers not as servants' like GCC countries treat us. Their support since our Independence is huge and I don't think they asked for any big favor in return till now.

Yet they would not choose India over Pakistan if they would look into South Asia for help in security.

Pakistan by the virtue of its identity always has an space there.

Yes collaborations would be there , but not as big as some say.

The most important link between UAE/Qatar and India in Defence Sector would be Rafales.

I don't agree with that, UAE only see Pakistan as their servant, when we refused to spill blood of our soldiers' for them in Yemen they showed their real face, if India is ready to send troops for UAE's requirements then they will totally dump Pakistan.

Edit.

The new shift in international relations is slow but it's huge since WW-2, Pakistan should play it's Cards well to get it's interests safe guarded.
