A Foreign Minister In Uniform Gen Raheel Shareef

[Musafir117]

RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif left here Saturday for China on a two-day official visit.

During his stay in China, the army chief will meet the Chinese political and military leadership, said a statement released by the ISPR today.

As Nawaz Shareef from beginning holding this post failed miserably to bring any positive results ( not talking about few dozens business trips he and his family made ) From past few months it's seems that COAS himself leading the foreign affair matters, A brave and wise General fighting for his country both inside and outside.

So if a US general meets another state's leader, it means Obama has no control over foreign ministry?

Good to know.

The Pakistan Army has always kept the two important portfolios to itself - foreign affairs, and defence and internal security. So there's nothing new in this. Successive 'democratically elected governments' have been unable to do anything about this state of affairs. No wonder Pakistan's foreign policy is in a shambles as it is controlled by those in uniform.

He is Prime Minister as well as Chief Justice.

Such is the incompetence of 'experienced' PMLN and heavy mandate.

The government of Pakistan is 'inept' in every sense of the word. Each tenure of a new leader is marked by much corruption and is mired in acute-nepotism. The army is the only facet of Pakistan, that is free of this ignominy and wholeheartedly serves it's nation. Salute the army and stand behind it. Otherwise, this 'merry-go-round' between the PPP and PML-N leaves a lot to be desired and then some. Next leader of Pakistan should be Imran Khan, the current one is hell-bent on 'veering' off the path of development and growth.

Same goes to you.

It's normal for defense heads to meet national leaders. But, I'll agree that Raheel has upper hand in handling foreign ministry. That is not to say Nawaz has absolute no say (remember he pursued talks with India, against advice of military). It is one reason why Nawaz is keeping foreign ministry, because any other would be a mere puppet of the army.

Indians are not so well wishers as NS thinking, a lot of serious issues both nations have to be settle not only business. Did you see any change by indian side as NS in start try hard to make them little soft? Nothing! They didn't changed any of their polices so why we always go to them a beg for a talk?

you're taking it out of context.

I didn't talk whether it was wise or not to talk with India. What I was saying that Nawaz has some control our foreign ministry and used India as an example. Which was, Army was against talks but Nawaz was in for it. If army had full control, then he would not have gone to India.,

Why not a Prime minster in uniform ?

Call him national leader.

 

[graphican]

Gen. Raheel deserves salute twice, once for being a great army general who took Pakistan out of whirlpool of terrorism and second for lifting burden of responsibilities dedicated to others but they failed. What would Pakistan had done without him?

Just a question for you........in pakistan; where is Foreign Policy (the most crucial aspects of it and wrt India, Afghanistan and such neighbors) decided..... in Rawalpindi or Islamabad?
The answer to that question will help you to understand the significance of the OP.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

what do you expect when you have a prime minister who is more interested in expanding his family buisness in a certain neighbouring country then to serve his own people
