World Bank offers to finance Peshawar-Kabul Motorway

[Thəorətic Muslim]

Have you asked why? If you dont then i suggest going back to school and reading ( Ghostwars, Crossed Swords and few other books by Ahmed Rashid and Hussain Haqqani) that should be a good start. I am sure you will get some of your answers!

That is fine by me, just keep the trolling to the minimum if you want to be treated as an adult here.
If you have some strategic acumen then you may know that everything is interest based and there are no emotions in the real world.

I also have many issues with the Afghan government attitude towards Durand line and other things. but that doesn't mean that i will reject anything related to Afghanistan to feed my ego. When we are discussing trade, we should talk about trade only.

You know the answer. but then, you should also know the trade between Pakistan and Afghanistan. we are the biggest trade partner of Afghanistan. and all this trade go through this single road. KP and it's people each year earn millions of dollar's from trading with Afghanistan. Demand for Cement, livestock, Cooking oil, and all other commodities in Afghanistan is expanding many folds. and You know why our Cement industry is the fastest growing industry of Pakistan ? Answer is, Imports to Afghanistan.

Bro we are not willing to trade with India. a 1.38 billion market. not willing to trade with Afghanistan. trade with Iran is in favor of Iran. trade with China, also in favor of China. Is tarha kon karta hay trading ? Can we ignore Indian and Afghan market ? No. Tamatar Rs.170 /kg bik raha hay, reason ? you know.

So. the point is. Separate Other issues from trade. A good example will be US-China trade and China-India trade.

Pakistan is currently building a record number of dams ... diamer bhasha dam needs to go through its financing issues are concerning

 

[ziaulislam]

if WB is financing than fine

 

[Hell hound]

if WB is financing than fine

why so?
who is going to be held liable to pay them back ?
are they not going to charge interest on it?

financing issues are concerning

thats what i am saying instead of working on getting funds for dams we are working for a highway to hell

 

[MultaniGuy]

We should not rely on the World Bank for anything.

what is more important than expanding trade?
you people think Pakistan is making this for the welfare of Afghans?
Its a step towards linking with Central Asian states

 

[khanasifm]

It will connect to cepec plus new port

dam has nothing to do with this project, dams needs to be built from PSDP but Nawaz wants to use that money for metro Lahore metro cable metro train and metro bus

WB will not fund controversial projects, it has open hearted funded Dasu but poor poltics from center(not putting its share of money ) has stopped that project

reality is no body is interested in dams as dams don't give you votes, metro buses do (especially the people of Punjab who voted for PML N)
