Cough Cough the same left under the PPP who plundered the wealth under ZA Bhutto and caused havoc to the economy thanks to Nationalization of key industries and plactating the feudals
I would place Turkey as the best example because they are closest to us in culture. I would go for a uber-nationalist Pakistan.
Maybe a balance of Iran and Turkey is good for Pakistan at least the clerics in Iran promote science, and hi-tech[/QUOTE]
But Mullahism is even worse in Iran since Rouhani. Sectarianism as foreign policy is a very poor policy when you are surrounded by Sunni and Arab countries.
I say screw the Western Europeans, and Scandinavian's overated Multicultural s..iholes I prefer more nationalistic countries like China,Japan,Turkey,Azerbaijan,and Russia to a extent those Euro states are an extention of Yankee neo liberalism and ((them))
I agree as their foreign policy is just mirror of the US. However, we can look at their education and socialist policies for inspiration, esp if we plan to be an Islamic Social Welfare state.
Alleviation of poverty and providing economic/job growth should be priority.
Also we should prevent our poor, illiterate population from failing pray to TLP, PTM, TTP, LeJ, MQM, and recent reactionary anti-state policies of both N league and PPP.
Depends I see it like this as CPEC and the region slowly integrates the most cultural influence will be from Xinjiang,Gansu and Inner Mongolia so the heartland of Huis,Kazakhs, and Uighurs, tho Huis are just Han Muslims in general point is cultural interaction between Central, and East Asia plus Pakistan will continue to grow in the decades ahead
These groups have strong ethnic and racial ties with us. Most Pakistanis are descendants of invaders and migrants from Central Asia, particularly these regions in Western China and also from Uzbekistan.
Scythians, Parthians, Hepthalites all came from this region.
Han Chinese Traditional culture is more similar to Indians than it is to us. There is a reason why many of their social mores, religious practices, materialism, and dietary preferences are frankly off-putting to us.
We will always be closer civilizationally to Turks and Persians than others, due to our geographical location and religious-cultural norms.
