'India needs to be part of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor'

[ravinderpalrulez]

ISLAMABAD: India should be included in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) if its true promise is to be realised, said a leading Pakistani daily which, however, warned that the military establishment is reluctant to view India through any lens other than one of rivalry.

An editorial in the Dawn on Saturday said that recent visit by the president of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) Jin Liqun raised issues for the government.

"The new challenge was his emphasis on including India in the CPEC vision, thus opening up the doors of the corridor towards the growing economy to the east. Previously, too, Chinese President Xi Jinping had mentioned this in his speech before parliament when he visited Pakistan. The idea should not be dismissed."

The daily said: "If the true promise of the corridor is to be realised, it will be necessary to include Pakistan's neighbours - both east and west - in it. Of course, there are significant hurdles to this."

It added that in Pakistan, "the military establishment is reluctant to viewing India through any lens other than one of rivalry, and in India a right-wing government is similarly averse to responding to any overtures for talks and advancement of peace".

The daily said that for now "it is enough to note that the proposal to open access to the economic corridor for India has credible commitment at the highest levels in China, and if there is any party in the world that can encourage a change in thinking in this country at least, it is the government in Beijing".

The editorial went on to say that it would be better for the government of Pakistan to draw up a more realistic list of projects that they would like to see funded through the AIIB, and use the early years of the bank to build a relationship rather than go for broke with a proposal for a mega dam.

"There is no shortage of infrastructure requirements in Pakistan, and realism shouldn't be very hard to pitch," it added.

Not as long as kashmir is resolved, or atleast significant progress is made on it... Infact we should tie it with kashmir... Resolve kashmir, become part of CPEC and get all economic advantages attached with it

India does not lose out much because of CPEC, however it will gain more if in a unrealistic scenario it was to be invited to join CPEC. I think inviting India to CPEC could change the whole dynamics of South Asia. Just think how much good it will do to all of South Asia.

India can gain a lot by CPEC... Thts wht i am saying..... resolution of kashmir is a must for regional peace... India can get all advantages if it resloves kashmir... Resolution of kashmir can do a lot more good to south asia than anything else... If kashmir gets resolved, then everything else will automatically fall in place

Pakistan's idea of resolution of Kashmir is for Indian to hand it over. Thanks but no thanks. These are such silly notions imagined by Pakistanis who have been brought up on the diet of Hindus being baniyas kind of stuff & actually delude themselves into believing that India can be persuaded to give up Kashmir for some economic (real or imagined) benefits.

There isn't enough money around that will get India to do what you wish. As I have said many times before, if Kashmir is the price for better relations with Pakistan, it will be a price that will remain unpaid. Without any second thoughts.

Until Kashmir is alive between India and Pakistan, forget CPEC, I don't think India and Pakistan will ever cooperate with each other.

You are totally mistaken here Pakistan never asks India to hand over kashmir .

All pakistan wants is to give them right to self determination as per UN charter and then let them decide whether they want to join Pakistan , India or wanna be independent.
