So, the SA inquiry over 800 German Tanks and the 25 Submarines, can be explained with the prospects of this Union.
since this covers 5, 6 or 7 countries, these weapons numbers are not that staggering after all.

MAFTA

Multilateral Agreement for a Free Trade Alliance

I propose formation of an economic block MAFTA composed of Pakistan, China, Afghanistan, Russia, Iran, Turkey, Bangla Desh, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, CARs, Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, Venezuella, Japan, Cuba, Bolivia, Ireland, Brunei Dar as Salam and Palestinian Authority for free trade without or reduced customs duties.

A MAFTA secretariat should be formed in Istanbul or Kuala Lumpur to coordinate all the activites.

Pakistan and Afghanistan in particular can benefit from adaptation of the advanced technologies from brotherly countries. An example is the recent Metro Bus project in various cities of Punjab with the help of Turkey.

Malaysia and Indonesia are rich in Palm oil and can meet the needs of member countries. Malaysia is also ahead in technology.

Pakistan is a big exporter of Textile and Leather goods.

Brazil is an important member of BRICS group and the biggest exporter in south America.

Saudi Arabia, Iran and Venezuela are major exporters of crude oil. Russia is also a big exporter of gas and can supply Pakistan through its purchased gas from Turkmenistan.

Japan is the technological giant of the East and is already helping Pakistan in various projects.

Cuba is known for its independent policy and is the leading voice of the leftist world and will help us in gaining more space and allies diplomatically. The Cuban doctors performed selflessly during the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan.

Republic of Ireland is known for its independent foreign policy on the European mainland as opposed to Britain which is always toeing the American line.

Iran has patched up its differences with America and is emerging on world stage as a mature power.

Turkey is leading the Muslim world in moderate thought, technology, foreign investment and outreach.

New GCC military body to begin work next week
Force aims to counter Islamist militants and Iran and will have several hundred thousand soldiers

Bahrain’s foreign minister says Gulf states are launching a joint military command based in Saudi Arabia to counter threats from Islamist militants and Iran.

Shaikh Khalid Al Khalifa said the joint command force, which analysts say will eventually have several hundred thousand soldiers under its control, would begin military operations after a Gulf Cooperation Council summit due to take place next week in Doha. The new command is to focus on defensive operations and will coordinate with the GCC’s naval command based in Bahrain and its air command in Saudi Arabia.

The establishment of the new joint command comes amid alarm in the Gulf states over the rise of Daesh, which has not only taken over parts of Iraq and Syria but has supporters among Gulf populations.

“Look at the fragmentation in Iraq and the abominable situation in Syria,” Shaikh Khalid told the Financial Times in an interview. “If Afghanistan was a primary school for terrorists, then Syria and Iraq are a university for them — these are serious threats and lots of people from our country have gone and joined them.”

Bahrain, a member of the US-led coalition against Daesh in Iraq and Syria, believes around 25 of its nationals have joined Daesh. Of even greater concern, said Shaikh Khalid, are Daesh sympathisers at home in Bahrain and elsewhere in the Gulf.

The Bahraini government is also arresting Daesh sympathisers and clamping down on terrorist funding, said Shaikh Khalid.

Dr Theodore Karasik, Senior Advisor to Risk Insurance Management in Dubai, said the GCC is trying to establish a “robust, interoperable joint operations force” focusing on defensive operations.

“The force is to be several hundred thousand strong with Saudi Arabia contributing at least 100,000 personnel,” he said. Components of the joint force may be used in special offensive operations against “nimble extremists forces,” he added.

‘Growing threat’

Shaikh Khalid, a member of the Bahraini royal family, said the new military body, first mooted two years ago, would start “working from now” to coordinate against what he said was a growing threat from Iran and unrest in Yemen.

The increased military coordination comes as Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain reconciled with Qatar over the latter’s support for the pan-Arab Muslim Brotherhood, especially in Egypt.

The three states last month said they would return their ambassadors to Doha after an “historic” agreement was signed in Riyadh outlining the steps Qatar must take to show its solidarity with the Gulf. Shaikh Khalid said the agreement focused on ensuring GCC support for the new government of Abdul Fattah Al Sissi in Egypt.

“We committed to each others’ security and stability and are now committed not to hurt each other in Egypt,” he said.

According to the agreement, Qatar is to match Saudi and Emirati financial aid to the Egyptian government and is to end support for the Muslim Brotherhood, which Shaikh Khalid accused of carrying out terrorist attacks in Egypt.

Qatar’s powerful media empire, centred around Al Jazeera television, is also expected to change its editorial stance, said Shaikh Khalid, which will “stop Al Jazeera putting bad coverage on events in Egypt or anti-Egyptian government coverage”.

Doha has also signed up to commitments with individual countries, pledging to stop hosting dissidents from fellow GCC states, said Shaikh Khalid.

A GCC operations room has been established in Riyadh to monitor compliance with the agreement, Shaikh Khalid said.

Initial signs of compliance with the agreement were encouraging, he said, but he conceded that Qatar may come back into the GCC fold “step by step”, and cited a “very unhelpful” report broadcast on Al Jazeera English on Bahrain’s parliamentary elections last month.

The Bahraini government claims the vote — the first since widespread unrest in 2011 — marks a new era thanks to a 52.6 per cent turnout despite a boycott by the opposition. Shaikh Khalid said the new government — to be formed in the coming weeks — would work with the newly-empowered parliament to implement more social, security and political reforms to consign the “terrible events of 2011” to history.

So GCC will have a single Army, Navy and Airforce. WOW! Amazing. I think these are the counties in the force:
KSA, UAE, Jordan, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and ???(Yemen)....

I have a feeling and even some rumors are there as well that the Terrorist in Pakistan have called upon sending men to GCC to fight for the GCC force inside Yemen. I think if this thing materialize then Pakistan had to step in professionally by allowing the GCC to take all of these men with the entire family and their household goods to GCC for ever.

I am 100% sure the FATA will become 100% empty and about 70% of KPK will be empty too. They can easily take people through flights of Airlines and household goods by means of container ships.

As these Terrorist were and are being supported by ME alliances inside Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Racist and genocidal, no different than Shiite militias' mentality. Any Sunni town is harboring terrorists and must be cleansed sooner or later.

Hopefully you'll go live in a beloved Shiite state like Iran or Iraq, while only Sunnis come and live in the "failing" states of the GCC.

I think that ME should cancel accord with Pakistan and Turkey for the security but keep it for HIJAZ.

 

[black-hawk_101]

We have heard that Middle East and GCC is interested in forming a combine force now! This force will have a single Navy-Army and Air Force.

So, when this will going to happen? And I am sure they are also looking up for a single Currency, Banking System and Stock Market as well.

 

[Nav]

Forget it for now , they are working on it to make it happen,

 

[Stannis Baratheon]

I think it will be more like NATO, except for a well trained Military, it will be a not so well trained Military with highly advanced weapons.

They will have their own military but also a GCC one.

 

[RazorMC]

As posted earlier, a GCC military will not combine into one and is only in planning stage at this moment.

It will be more along the lines of NATO with each member contributing troops, weapons and finance.

Their capacity is already under test (even before formation) in Yemen. We'll have to see what effect the outcome will have.

 

[In arduis fidelis]

If they want some real training send some units to Pakistan,we will inoculate some battle into them.
