BD is not in anyone's camp as it gets a lot of military hardware and loans from China. It just wants some time to develop before it flexes it's muscles. It trades with all countries - West, China and India. You think this 8%+ growth has sprung out of nowhere?
The current government is only being tolerated as it is delivering political stability and economic growth. Hasina is getting old(72 years) and the AL will hand over power once she is gone as she has no successor.
BD is a very nationalist country and once it has a large enough economy and powerful enough military, around 2030, it will help lead the revival of the Muslim world - Turkey, Iran, Indonesia, Malaysia and BD itself will form the core of this group in my opinion.
Question is does Pakistan want to be in on this or stay beholden to Saudi, China, IMF etc forever?
Seriously? You aren't being truthful. Everyone knows Bangladesh has become a client state of India. You talk about Muslim unity but your Prime Minister honored Modi the butcher of Gujurat. Instead of holding a hand of friendship you have continued to malign Pakistan which suits India's interests. You are in no position to lecture us on Muslim unity and responsibility. Our Prime Minister didn't invite a man who ordered pregnant Muslim women to be carved up. We didn't collude with a Hindu army to fight against our Muslim brothers. Thus, spare me your crocodile tears for the Muslim world. Bangladesh has acted like a nation described in my previous post. You pursued policies that suited your national interests. Pakistan shall also do the same.
In regards to your economy, we shall see if the Govt can consistently maintain these figures. Bangladesh will lead the Muslim world? Nice joke. You are irrelevant in the Muslim world and you want to claim some superpower status by 2030. You sound like an Indian when they claimed they will be a superpower in 2020.
Chinese are not Muslims.
They have their interests which are separate to Muslim interests.
A strong core of Muslim countries(Turkey,Iran,Indonesia, Malaysia and BD) by 2030 should give Pakistan the confidence to break free from dependence on Saudi and China and join up.
Already we are seeing signs as Pakistan rejected the Chinese Z-10 in favour of the Turkish T-129 attack helicopter.
You don't even know there are 10 ethnic groups in China. At least the Chinese didn't invite a Hindu army to fight against the Muslims. You have great experience in that department.
