Its indeed surprising. But lets assume Sudia decides to play a role in normalising Indo-Pak tension and suggests something for Kashmir soultion, so would India be ready to accept it ?
I wouldn't trust the Saudis on anything. They don't give a damn about their fellow Arab Palestinians; what makes you think they will care about Kashmir or Pakistan?
Would they be so friendly to India if they were at all sensitive about the Kashmiris' plight?
The Arab governments are traitors and are the biggest enemies of ordinary Muslims.
Pakistan Foreign should be policy:
1. If India goes to Saudi Arab , Pakistan should go to Iran and vice versa.
2. If India goes to USA , Pakistan should to Russia (apologies for the past) and vice versa.
3. If India goes to other Arabs , Pakistan should go to Israel and vice versa.
else India will isolate Pakistan for good.
Pakistan's foreign policy should be
proactive, based on our self-interest and a long term, consistent plan; not
reactive to India.
India's government is staffed by capable and qualified individuals who know how to work both sides of the aisle. Unlike Pakistan, where we keep electing feudal masters whose only skill in foreign policy is to walk around with a begging bowl, pocketing their commission along the way.
We Owe Russia a lot in terms of Help provided to us, but in terms of $$ I dont think so, do you know any?? if yes feel free to share it...
This thread is about India/Saudi Arabia. Let's leave Russia, US, Israel, ... out of it. The only exception is Pakistan, because this is PDF and the Pakistani perspective on this India/KSA relationship is relevant here.
India has millions of Muslim citizens who have the right to go to Hajj and maintain close relations with Muslim countries. Instead of faulting India for doing a good job, we should be demanding our politicians to maintain good relations with all Muslim countries (i.e. Iran, Turkey, Malaysia) instead of selling out to Saudi Arabia in exchange for some free oil.
