China, Russia assure support to Pakistan after Donald Trump criticism: Report

[#hydra#]

ISLAMABAD: China and Russia have assuredPakistan at the diplomatic level that they would veto any US move in the United Nations to slap economic sanctions on Islamabad over failure to eliminate terror safe havens, according to a media report today.

The ties between Pakistan and the US deteriorated after US President Donald Trump in August criticised Islamabad for providing safe havens to terrorists.

The Express Tribune and its sister publication Daily Express reported that the US has hinted at imposing sanctions on Pakistani officials allegedly having links with militants.
Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had warned on Monday that any targeted sanctions against Pakistani officials would not help in US counter-terrorism efforts.

The Express Tribune reported that Pakistan has been in contact with two veto-wielding powers - China and Russia - who have opposed the American policy of putting undue pressure on Pakistan.
The two key world players have assured Islamabad of every possible support at all forums, it said.

Pakistan would also approach other Western nations, especially France and the United Kingdom, to drive home its viewpoint, according to report.

Islamabad-based diplomatic sources told Daily Express that foreign policy wizards, security officials and top government functionaries have been brainstorming to chart out new policy vis-a-vis Washington.

It has been decided that Pakistan would phase out its dependence on the United States. And high-level contacts with Washington would be restored only after the Trump administration acquiesced to assuage Pakistan's legitimate concerns on the new US strategy for Afghanistan and beyond.

There has been no top level contact between Trump's aides and Pakistani officials since the inauguration of the new US strategy, though US Ambassador David Hale has met senior Pakistani civil and military leaders in an attempt to soothe frayed tempers in Islamabad.

Pakistan has started approaching key international and regional players to garner their support in the wake of scathing criticism from President Trump. In this context,

Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif has already launched a diplomatic offensive to garner support for Pakistan. He travelled to China, Iran and Turkey this week.

Brics declaration to lead to more action against Pak-based terror groups: Russia

"We see the declaration and the naming of terror groups as an important breakthrough for countries who share concerns on terrorism in the region and we expect it to lead to more concrete action against such terrorist organisations," said a top Russian diplomat here, Sergey Karmalito

To be honest, whether we can't stand each other or not, closer cooperation and diplomacy is the way forward for Asia. India, Pakistan, China and Russia all have their best interests in a rising Asian continent, moving away from the current western dominated status quo.

Does this mean we should ignore the issue of Islamic terrorism that plagues not only India, but also Pakistan? Surely not, but I can tell you that Russia is playing the longterm game here in regards to both Iran (Rapprochement between Pakistan and the Shiite bloc: https://en.dailypakistan.com.pk/opinion/the-frank-realities-of-pakistan-syria-relations/) and India (This is an issue between Pakistan and India, and Russia is keeping out Washington from utilizing this rift, that involves its long-time ally, for its own benefit).

At this point in history in which Asia is finally on the rise again, it is absolutely moronic that we are going to fight amongst ourselves over petty issues like terrorism.

The closer you get to US , the further away you move from the Russians.

The only good part is that both are powers that have peaked. There is no way up for them in future; history is not known to be kind to great states in decline.

If USA wants to go after pakistan, it will end up pressuring the world to go after pakistan as well

Indeed. but reaction will be dangerous for men in Afghanistan

Today foreign relations are not based on politics or blocks but on economics, there is no wrong in India getting closer to US & SA or Pakistan getting closer to Israel & Russia .

But only problem is Russia never forgets and forgives, so it would be interesting to see how relations between them and Pakistan evolve.

Your opinion.

To which you are welcome, of course.

Reading this article, just refreshed all the memories of us being labeled with terrorism, and the complete and utter failure of our foreign policy in countering India at that time. Had anyone thought that just after 2 years it would be India labelled as a hinduvita state under a Nazi. What a contrast.
