[UmarJustice]

A French diplomat on Thursday said France and Pakistan need each other to attain common goal of peace and prosperity.

Gilles Angles, French Attaché of Cultural and Cooperation Ties said that Pakistan can become a global economic power with the help of its incredible natural and human resources.
This he said while speaking at annual day ceremony at a local school, Mrs. Azra Wasim Sajjad, Rukhsia Waqas, former chairman coordination FPCCI Raza Khan and others were also present on the occasion. Gilles Angles said that recent signs of Pakistan’s economic growth are encouraging as this country fulfils the conditions to become a highly developed country.
Paris has been cooperating with Islamabad to enhance its exports to the European markets and overcome energy crisis, improve level of education and civic facilities, he added. He said that France can help Pakistan exploit Thar coal as promoting relations with Islamabad has remained our top priority.
Angles added that France has second largest presence in Pakistan after Germany, presently 80 French companies are doing business in Pakistan while 180 companies of two countries promoting bilateral trade. He said that Pakistani businessmen can explore opportunities by learning French which is the official language in 34 countries.

Over 600 Master’s and PhD students are studying in France while more is being done to assist them, he added.

Saying nice things is why he gets paid. Can Pakistan be one of the fastest growing economies of the world?, yes. But for that we need the leadership we don't have right now.

 

[Silverblaze]

It can happen if Pakistan gets 10 good years. What people do not realize that the land now called Pakistan was actually an important hub of trade for thousands of years, so there is a genetic inclination towards business and economics.

However, those ten years might be very difficult to come by.

World leading is wishful thinking, highly advanced yeah why not.

You may be on to something here, Sindhis are good traders and small time businessmen - at least the Indian Sindhis are, a good environment may improve Pakistan's economics.

Unfortunately they are moving out. Many left for Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Karachi was once called 'Model for the East' but now its a sh!t hole. Sindh is history. Things are starting to change and other communities in Pakistan are starting to step up. Pashtuns are running many small businesses and Punjabis are moving ahead to large scale.

 

[Gentelman]

The word can is wishful....
Pakistan can bt with many conditions like good governance, end of corruption,fair elections, rise in literacy and so on......

So the punjabis have bettered the sindhis in business? ?

Problem with Sindh & Southern Punjab is that they are still in clutches of feudal system. Baluchs are still in clutches of Sardars - that's why they are lagging behind.

I was making a link to his post about traditional trade routes and the traditional trader communities in those regions, I also agree with him that if Pakistan getting 10 Years of relative peace the situation may change. Regarding Pakistan leading the world in economy - as you say there's too much turmoil, confusion about a lot of things, and quite difficult too. Nothing is impossible - but as you say many people have lost hope.
