Ghani warns to close transit route for Pakistan to Central Asia

[PaklovesTurkiye]

Nice one...Mr. Ghani....Many Pakistanis also didn't want in first place that you become our trade route for CARs....Pakistanis will never want to become dependent on India and Afghanistan for anything ....

Make sense, not sure how economically viable it will be though.
So in short you and I will continue to block traffic for each and other use other routes to do business.

Ghani or any other future Afghani PM is not in the position to boycott Pakistan due to its heavy implications on their own economy. Afghanistan with a small S16 billion economy needs to grow fast and she could generate billions from the booming transit trade if the CPEC becomes a success.

Pakistan can easily bypass Afghanistan through China or even Iran.

Article here, excerpts below:

...

The Afghan President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani has warned to close transit route for Pakistan to Central Asian countries as the Wagah port has been closed for the Afghan traders for import and export.

President Ghani made the remarks during a meeting with the UK’s special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan Owen Jenkins in Kabul.

He said Afghanistan is no more a landlocked country as several other options and transit routes are available for Afghanistan for the import and export of commodities of the Afghan traders.

President Ghani further added that Pakistan usually closes transit routes during the fruits season which incurs millions in dollars loses to the Afghan traders.

I know you're fan of Afghan Onion

Such plain arrogance is baffling....So Pakistan can bypass AF via Iran but not AF?? No reason South Asia is dirt poor because our business sense is pathetic....

When he us warning it means he won't do it 100 percent

Realpolitik in play

And Pakistan responds by throwing illegal Afghans walking all over Pakistan back over the border, along with the Refugees since Afghanistan is all peaceful now.

I forgot the closing the Pakistani side of the border... We'll see how the ISAF responds....

This "realpolitik" is better left to countries that aren't in a state of war or have millions of their citizens in someone else's country.

You should have used "tit for tat" rather than that term.

Ghani really "close" anything. This is just bluster. Afghanistan is too heavily dependent on trade via Pakistan and to change it around will take a decade at the least. But since the rulers of Kabul are essentially worse enemies of Pakistan than India, they'll spare no chance to try and spit venom.

Care to read the OP before replying? Ghani is threatening, not us.

Lots of negative emotions in ur post my friend, it's a tit for tat, no hard feelings

You need tasticals for tit for tat, problem is you have lost them long time ago.

 

[S.U.R.B.]

honestly all eggs in one basket is not a good thing....

It a big project and it demands all that attention and concentration.Pakistan duly needs to go all out on this.
The stakes of more than one country are involved here.And especially the landlocked countries can benefit out of it.
First, it's very certain that it's going to be a success.And second is it being fruitful will prove that all that attention and concentration was justified.

I think Pakistan is already sending those Afghans back which is a good thing I would say.
Let us forget about ISAF as it no longer exist, I wonder how you respond being an American ( your ally Afghanistan) who is being imposed a war through foreign proxies, the same proxies that have killed American soldiers.

Where are your loyalties?

so?? how does that change the context of what i wrote?? There was a monopoly of Pakistan over AF as it was land locked...and that status has changed...was Iran route not available to Pakistan earlier?? so there threat/warning is making sense...not yours!!
