https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/why-is-chahbahar-not-burning.734583/ @The Eagle, you should not have closed this thread. I wanted to engage these Iranians, couldn't do so because I was busy with some stuff. This is a Pakistani forum and the victimhood complex of Iranians has to be deconstructed...

This guy is a next-level choroo (youtube channel owner), beware. Never put any stock in MOUs which mostly do not materialize in Pakistan. I have not seen a detailed breakdown of SIGNED deals in the current visit from any official source.

Agree fully. That is why a strategic G2G agreement is the way to go here. We are too small and economically irrelevant to attract the hi-tech industry merely at the back of investment incentives.
Why are Pakistanis willing to surrender sovereignty and independence at the drop of a hat? This is a defeatist mentality. If only we apply ourselves to these security challenges and divert resources (both intellectual and material) where required, we can overcome them. Why do we need protection...
