After China Saudi Arabia to do major investment in Pakistan.

[Zarvan]

That is a meaningless and useless statement - Daesh, LeJ and TTP also claim to be 'calling people back to Quran and Sunnah' - without defining an underlying structure or basic set of principles (equality, respect and tolerance for speech and the faith of everyone regardless of their beliefs), how is the current Wahabi religious leadership of Saudi Arabia any different from Daesh?

How can you be sure that the current Wahabi leadership is actually following Wahab's interpretation of Islam?

Much like a constitution establishes certain 'unalienable rights' for the citizenry, rights that future laws cannot overturn or be in violation of, Islam needs some basic principles of equality for all and freedom of faith and speech for all outlined and set in stone. Any interpretation of the Quran and Hadith MUST comply with those basic and unalienable rights/principles.

Because I have read Muhammad bin Abdul Wahab and my standard is not what current Saudis do or not my standard is what is written in Quran and Sunnah and that what is written is crystal clear. Sorry their is no absolute freedom of speech any where neither everything is tolerated. Their are always limits and laws.

"Democracy" That Is What Happened

@MastanKhan : here you go. The billions you were upset about not getting from KSA due to refusal of sending troops, can be made in many other ways. When you grow your economy, you don't need to sell your troops and risk their lives (and risk starting a civil war inside your country for a few billions).

The investment policies of the government of Pakistan are VERY attratctive, give it time, and you'll have plenty of billions. Today is the second day of Pakistan Stock Exchange in works. It may not be public information till a few weeks, but I can share with you. Overall, there is over $ 120 BILLION dollars worth of investment coming to Pakistan through the Pakistan stock exchange!!!! It includes countries like China, KSA (initial two), and then the US, the UK, Russia (phase II) and India, Malaysia, Turkey and France and other GCC countries (phase III). And the stock exchange's size will increase to over $ 250 billion due to incoming investments in the next 5-7 years!!!!! Creating a business and economic revolution inside Pakistan.

When a country has so many prospects to be rich and attract many billions through her civilian focused, business investment policies, why the hell does this country need to risk her troops for a few billions? The Pakistani mentality of send the military for a few billion is ending. The new Pakistan of 2013, doesn't do that. Instead she shows her economic and profit oriented market to attract investments, without risking ONE troops life overseas and without starting new tension with Iran next door. This is smart, becoming a party to the Yemen conflict, would've destroyed Pakistan internally like the Arab spring (Shiite spring in Pakistan????)

Hi,

It is a wonderful news---but it is does not have the same effect as an affilitation in yemen would.

This news is nothing new---it has been in the works for a long time---with the gas prices going down----china coming into Gwadar port---GCC have no reason but to invest in pakistan.

The yemen inflcition would have the raised the strength of the military on an extremely fastrak. First of all---from a defensive force---it would have become an offensive strike force----and what does that mean---change in the approach---change in the mindset---change in the gameplan---overall. Just like the Nato---it would be GCC&P---.

Within 2-3 years---top tier air superiority and strike aircraft would be inducted---navy frigate from 3500 tons to 8000 tonnage range with anti ballistic missile intercept capabilities---. 6 to 8 armor divisions---6 to 8 infantry atrillery and other related division in around 5 years time period---and the threat of conventional war with india would dissipate in thin air.

Any other game plan of peace with india is fake and will not withstand the test of time.

There is a very basic standard for Freedom of Speech - it should be allowed so long as it does not result in tangible harm to an individual/entity. There are laws to address misuse of such speech, such as laws against slander, libel etc.

With respect to your 'standard', without clearly defining some core principles that are unalienable with respect to the rights of individuals, your standards mean nothing.

As I said, you can claim your 'standard is written in Quran and Sunnah', but Daesh, TTP, LEJ also claim that 'their standard is written in Quran and Sunnah'. Why is 'your standard' the correct one? For that matter, what are the core principles and unalienable rights of individuals granted by 'your standard'?

"Democracy" That Is What Happened

Sorry democracy isn't to be blamed. If relations were based institution to institution commitment must have been fulfilled. Thats why there's need to strengthen institutions.

The coalition of NATO, Russia and China plan several decades ahead and than execute the plan. This turmoil in ME, Pakistan, Africa and Afghanistan is part of the same plan time line of 2019. They are master in gathering intelligence and work together behind the door to create implosion from with in these regional players. It started soon after the withdrawal of Soviet troops and Pakistan coming under the influence of radicals and KSA's Wahhabi elements during Gen. Zia ul Haq time.

Their ultimate objective is to escalate the tensions between the nations by fanning the fire of mistrust and let them self destruct in order to stop spread of extremists in to the countries named above.

It was just a tweet. It has no real basis.

For the record, due to low oil prices Saudi Arabia has a Budget deficit of $80-billion. Saudis have more than $600-billion FE reserves but these will disappear soon if the prices remain below $60 per bbl. Saudis are even considering selling part of Aramco (National Oil company) to raise cash.

Any serious Saudi investment in Pakistan is highly unlikely in the near future.
