I'm sorry but this is a massive mistake on IK's part. Here's a group who is ready to help him, has his back, wants to expand business in Pakistan, and also back him on Kashmir and yet he's running back to Saudi and UAE.
I get that IK has to do what's best for Pakistan, but I would argue that it's better to go with Malaysia and Turkey now-much easier now, then it will be in three to four years. Why?
1. IK is trying to build an export focused economy. Malaysia and the countries gathered can help boost Pakistani exports and to industrial investment. Doing it now means we see the dividends in 3-4 years, the economy will be on an upswing, and there will be no need to keep sending Pakistani citizens to the Gulf kingdoms-they will be more economically valuable at home because there will be jobs available!
2. The Gulf Kingdoms are largely corrupt and need to fall.
3. This eventually gets Pakistan out of the IMF cycle.
I'm not Muslim, so I won't comment on the religious aspects, except I believe it is better for Pakistan to trade-and have relations with everyone. They can't do that sucking at the Saudi's teats.
