BBC News - Pakistan profile - Key facts
I think both India and Pakistan were being strategic knowing that with Russia and China vetoing there was no point in voting against the resolution.
Dont worry about India not having Veto powers , India has much much more international support and recognition as compared to Pakistan on most issues . Indias clever diplomacy and foreign policy ensures International support for India !
Which other country has had defense deals and Nuclear deals with both US and Russia at the same time in history ! This is all due to deft handling of foreign policy which unfortunately pakistan hasnt been able to pull off !
Pakistan's and China's interest do not always align. In this case, I think Pakistan did the thing to stand with its Arab allies in condemning Syria's Asad regime's brutality against its own people.
It is understandable that being a smaller country they always have depended on of the bigger powers for aid , defense supplies and support etc etc... but the relationship they have had is all lopsided in favor of the bigger partner who has used and misused them to fulfill their needs (Afghan,WOT being prime example)
China gives verbal assurance to Pakistan but does trade and business with India ,
US bombs them ,pays them $$$ to clean the mess US created in name of WOT whereas US does trade and business with India
similar story with EU,Russia and most other countries too ...
Indias Non aligned status and far sighted foreign policies has won them more friends than Pakistans
Pakistan should stick to what lies in its interest but instud boggs down due to preasure..
I dont get the point trying to be made in post #1.
Pak should have sided China due to its ' brotherly relations '?
Well, brothers too have divergent views and next, shouldn't Pak do what it feels is right ?
we didnt give them support bcz we thought it was wrong atleast this time we r looking out for our views.... i think it was a good step
Shows where the loyalties of the current leadership lie. They'd even sell their family members for money.
