Maybe by nationalistic Pakistani or liberal Pakistani, communists ???
Corruption is rampant as much I have observed , and lot of restrictions are enforced just to suppress news .
Non recognition and working through non-official capacity only for any matters of mutual interest (this will be AFG driven rather than India driven given the relative scales of population and economy as it relates to who can ignore the other more).
Things like pitting the Taliban against itself even. It will all be done via the non-official route.
SAARC as lame-duck no-teeth grouping as it is, is still an official grouping regardless.
I dont think India will ever recognise the IEA and let Taliban come to it.
It will prefer to let SAARC become even more redundant and work on things like BBIN.
When South Korea has a neighbour it fought an existential war with (in % scales relative to population few outside really understand)...one of its own people in the end....yet has doggedly pursued complete non-recognition of the entity even with that closest cultural connection (and vice versa, being the main reason no peace has actually come into effect after the armstice for coming to 70 years now).
When that exists in the world between far closer populations of people in every which way.....it can be extrapolated to how relations with IEA also proceed in the global domain far more easily given the much lower investiture found within AFG.
Good for you , any comments @VCheng on this .
Imo , Bangladesh is a fast growing nation , Bhutan , Nepal and Maldives are not so significant ,but sri Lanka has a huge port , also it's coming out of it's financial distress .
And if Pakistan continue this type of behavior they maybe removed from it and that will mean strengthening of ties with India in alliance as these countries aren't part of any other alliance as per se.
And in context Pakistan per Capita income is same as 10 yr back ,so you have missed a whole decade of growth , still you think Pakistan is better off without regional allies
From the infighting highlighted by @AlphaMike - it's more likely the Taliban regime will collapse internally before it gets international recognition.
Peeps,
One need to see the statements of paki ministers off lately. Only reason I think about their eagerness for taliban recognition is the money matters...
We know all assets of previous Afghanistan govt are frozen. Atleast 8 or 9 Billion USD are lying in US Fed reserve. I now pak will say that that's afghan money et all but we all know the reality. The sudden spurt in smuggling of afghan heroin is another factor which suggest they are being squeezed to last drop.. Would u beleive Indian authorities caught almost 2.7 billion USD worth of heroine in a single raid...
Anyways, Pakis do not have many friends in international diaspora . .. And anything bad which happens is always shown as they themselves did it to show their bravado but we know the reality...
I see a financial crisis shortly in Pakistan... China tap is slowly going dry.. US / Saudi are least bothered... Specially Saudi, s till they have to do bird hunting... Their soft image have take a huge hit recently with increased terrorist activities... Imams are raising Taliban flags within 5 kms of Imran, s residence and openly flashing AK, s...
Let us see.. Imran khan always say "Aap nay Ghabrana nahin hai" but if i am PM.. I will be worried...
Yawn. An endemic issue by design.
Usually these terrorists - are they from PoK (Mirpuris) or are they from Pakistan itself?Catching one alive is relatively rare though.
I am going to watch what happens now regarding this.
