Featured Iran's inclusion in CPEC to benefit every country of the region - Pak FM

[BATMAN]

Just because they could theoretically build another trade corridor and pipelines etc through Central Asia to China, doesn’t mean they will.

Pakistan is the ideal solution, already China has poured in tens of billions of dollars worth of spending on infrastructure. Refineries were already planned to be built in Gwadar. Now you could see an easy inclusion of Iran in trade corridor infrastructure for a small cost as the rest of the infrastructure is either already there, under construction or planned in Pakistan.

Care to explain, how Iran can build it's own land route to China?

Forget the Arab investments in refineries, any loyal Pakistani would like to built an Iran wall along Iran border rather than any road to felicitate regional terrorism.

Pakistan need to get out of this Iranian slave mentality, while rulers should explain the state sponsored corruption at Taftan border.

Referring to the OP, it's an absurd proposal and making this bogus nonsense a featured thread is equally absurd, which hints Pakistani ministers take salary from Pakistan but serve Iranian mulla. irrespective if in the process Pakistan risk it's remittance from GCC, as well aid and used military equipment.

Iran has not joined CPEC and will never join CPEC. Neither will Afghanistan or any Central Asian country.
Mark my words and screenshot this.

This indian curse on indian citizens and that That is Bhakti which means never ever accept the reality that goes against them, You have lost Galwan valley, U have lost chabahar, Nepal kills ur citizen at will and Bhutan shut of your water supply, your rehotrics are as empty as your Indian claim of india becoming super power, while, in reality, india is nothing more than a pathetic shit power

 

[Cash GK]

Nope. We are still in full control of Chabahar port ops.
Whereas Pakistan does not even control a rickshaw stand in Iran.

Way you have full control on ladakh. Right dreamer

 

[HAIDER]

Why would iran join CPEC ? When they can have their own CIEC .
Iran does not need pakistan to access the Central asian countries right ?
And shouldn't china investing 400 bil $ in iran worry pakistan as CPEC may be sidelined because of that specially if Iran is able to provide a safer investment environment ?

Its China One Belt project. Iran already have train track from Pakistan to Syria and central asia, most probably China will add KSA and UAE from Iraq rail line. It is massive and spread over many years.
Proposed railway line.

CPEC road is leading to Gawadar, from their on it's ship route to UAE /Oman /Africa etc.

Benift of providing transit to China shouldn't be the vision of Pakistani officials, who take salary from Pakistan.
If Pakistani politicians and bureaucrats are any bit loyal to Pakistan , they would propose huge oil storage in Balochistan, of course which require couple of refineries. As a second option, give free land to those who would invest in industries.

So that benifits china . Pakistan gains nothing by Iran joining CPEC . More over with the chinese looking to invest in iran , they can easily use the iran route/ports through turkmenistan . I think china already has railway till turkmenistan

Well, China ultimate target is to tap Iranian oil. Chinese emerging market need constant flow of oil. And it also provide China direct access to Middle East and Africa by road. Plus, China also want to break the monopoly of dollar and its best bet is massive trade Iran and Central Asia in Yuan or local currency. We only looking at the surface but deep down Chinese currency will eventually emerging against dollar and trading currency.

I have spent a lot of time in that region, building railway from Almatay to Tashkent would be a challenge!

 

[PAKISTANFOREVER]

Lol.
It is Pakistan who is so scared of American sanctions that Pak govt does not import a single barrel of oil from Iran.


Epic fail.
We are still in 100% control of our stake in Chabahar port.
As for Chab-Zahedan railway, we never inked a deal on it so no question of throwing us out. Iran has now been forced to build railway on own as everyone refused due to US sanctions.

Do you have ANY CREDIBLE, GENUINE & IRREFUTABLE evidence to confirm that you have 100% full control of Chabahar port?

Shipping loading and unloading is expensive and time consuming process. If something can send in straight line on road or rail track, will reach much more quicker. We need to look in reality. It's question of 400 billion vs 46 billion.

Good luck with that.
While having industry and storage in Pakistan, only benefits Pakistan, that's what my head think and it's win win for all parties involved.

CPEC is expanding by China and its Chinese project. Also Chahbahar project was Indian brainchild to access Afghanistan consumer market. Where Iran was less interested, because they already have next door trade with Afghanistan.

India is at losing end due to its hate mongering anti Pakistan policy. Because only Pakistan can give India trade gateway by road to rest of the world.

Once again Chabahar has zero economic sense or model and India knows it. All this trade and transit is a hog wash for people having IQ lower than average.

Bottom line is, Indian goods taking Iranian route would not be competitive specially when Pakistani Prime Minister protect Indian transit from Pakistan, like his own child.

Iran can not force Pakistan to have two way trade relations for any third country. As I wrote before, Pakistan have given trade passage for Afghan goods to India. After delivery trucks are not allowed to bring back any thing from India. So, India govt is frustrated due to Pak one way policy.

One way Afghan trade policy was implemented by Gen Raheel and it's never been change since. There was time when for short while allowed Indian trucks to pass through Pakistan into Afghanistan. But, no sure PA found some devices or instruments in Indian trucks. Where Afghan access was totally stopped by GOP, but later it was allowed only one way trade.

 

[Philosopher]

Your candour is appreciated. I assume Kulbushan was equally cooperative with his interrogators in this specific regard, hence you won't be seeing him on Indian soil ever again.

@Philosopher ....Interesting thread worth a quick glance.

I agree with the notion brother. To my mind, this Iran-Pakistan-China trilateral linkage and cooperation is an inevitability. I have said before that between these three countries, everything is there to promote great growth and development, everything from human resources, natural resources, finance, technology etc. We need to just get on with it, the sooner we start reaping the benefits the better. Any bad actors involved such as US and India should be not be allowed to hinder this development.

Afghanistan is not the context, and i can't confirm what you said. What i can confirm, General Rahil was not the PM and such decisions require PM authority.
