this is a good initiative

it will ease the tension between the neighbours for some extent
not only central asia indo-pakistani buisness will also get benefit from it

Good for business if the cabinet approves it. India should respond in kind and provide access for Pak to BD.

Self-Economic Choke!

Agreed. I dont see any reason to give them access to our railways, other than their economic dependancy on us, when India undermines and attacks Pakistan both diplomatically and physically at every chance it gets.

 

[IceCold]

WTF, against what are we offering such initiatives to India. Bad bad decision once again by the GOP but then again no surprise here because they are known to make stupid decisions at one moment and latter reverse them. Lets see how far this goes.

 

[QADRI]

they are blocking our water, their hands have been found in terrorist activities in Pak Land, but we are giving them access???????

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

one could argue it gives us leverage, we can block them anytime we want

but i'd personally not be happy at all letting their goods pass through our country; instead we should focus on doing more to penetrate the markets of those land-locked countries; boost our trade with them without helping our competition/enemy

Pakistan has to compete with other countries, including also India, to marketise its goods to the central asian and other countries. Consumers will decide what to buy. A non-guaranteeing of access of Indian marchendise will only alienate Pakistan from the Muslim central asians and will not ultimately fair well with Pakistan. Moreover, all the landlocked countries must be allowed transit facilities.

Bad news Biloura don't even know how to talk and ANP ko Pakistan bany ke 10 years baad pata chala tha ke Pakistan ban gya ha.

competition is always healthy; it's what ensures quality, and promotes good health and efficiency in a corporation or even medium-small export-driven business

the case with india is an exception; they are our enemy, therefore we should not in any way help them tap markets that we aspire to further penetrate. They have alternate methods at their disposal, but as far as railways goes we should not at all help them by allowing their goods to go through our lands

Consumers will decide what to buy. A non-guaranteeing of access of Indian marchendise will only alienate Pakistan from the Muslim central asians and will not ultimately fair well with Pakistan.

in this case, i strongly disagree with you.

Moreover, all the landlocked countries must be allowed transit facilities.

and thus, i was very clear about it by mentioning the word 'land-locked'

I was implying that they are welcome to use our ports, highway network etc. to import their goods -- of course with variable/fixed prices and costs for using the facilities


indian goods however, should not be allowed; and hopefully wiser councils will reverse this decision

 

[Spring Onion]

The traitors are indeed at work.

WTF why we should give India access to CARs at the expense of our own market ??????????


Seems Zardari is going to have some commission and traitors from ANP are at works.

expose them
