Pakistan Gears Up To Host Russian President Putin Next Month

After a long time, Pakistan and Russia are strengthening bilateral relations. Pakistan and Russia signed a fresh agreement to lay a gas pipeline between Karachi to Kasur. Also Russia is keen to sell arms to Pakistan.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov visited Islamabad in April after 9 years. Lavrov came with a message to strengthen ties between both two countries.
Now an official tour of Russian President Vladimir Putin is on cards. The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, has already extended a formal invitation to President Putin

Putin was scheduled to visit Pakistan earlier this year, but his visit was delayed due to the COVID pandemic.

This was announced by Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi in an official statement

In the light of Pakistan's recent tension with the United States over CIA bases in Afghanistan post-withdrawal, the scheduled visit of the Russian President Vladimir Putin has become even more crucial for future regional alliances.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov toured Pakistan in April after 9 years and apart from other bilateral issues, Express Tribune and others quoted sources inside Pakistan's Foreign Ministry that Sergey has offered a diplomatic ‘blank cheque’ on the behalf of President Putin, implying that Moscow is ready for any kind of cooperation with Islamabad, whatever Pakistan needs.

Last month reports came of Russia Pakistan signing the agreement of building 1100km long Pakistan Steam Gas Pipeline Project worth 2.25 billion $, anticipated to haul 12.4 billion cubic meters of natural gas every year from Karachi to Kasur. The initial signing of the agreement happened in 2015 but the project was postponed for several untold reasons.

The intergovernmental agreement signed in 2015 had proposed 100% of the building to Russia while the revised model suggests 74% stakes for Pakistan. What's important that Pakistan has opened to this project despite the risk of U.S sanctions on Russian companies. The groundbreaking of the project is foreseen to be held later this year or in early 2022. Apart from the economic significance, the project also holds considerable strategic value for Pakistan.

Pakistan and Russia are also closely negotiating and observing the Afghan Peace process which will also be on the agenda of the planned visit of the Russian President.
Russia has been reluctant to sell arms historically owing to its close ties with India but experts have also signaling for a policy change in this regard, considering both armies have been conducting joint exercises since 2016. Russia and Pakistan have come a long way since the Cold War and the Afghan War era but how long? That's what we are about to find in the due visit of the Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Pakistan would be the 70th country Putin will be stepping foot on

 

[HRK]

dates are still not confirm, so its too early to expect he will visit.

 

[Titanium100]

This is very important meeting as NATO is making some serious encroachment on Russia in the baltic and Ukraine. US and allies have not made this type of encroachment on Russia since the cold war

You mistake us for India which is cheerleading for the US while bending backwards.

Search this forum for all the potential visits by Putin. I think he might show up in Pakistan next month.

Baltics are NATO members. that game is over.

Ukraine is too big to be pushed around by Russia. It has 40 million plus people. If NATO admits Ukraine Russia will find it hard to swallow.

Imagine Ukraine being an ally of Wehrmacht during World War 2. Imagine Hitler launching Operation Barbarossa from the Don river

The NATO build up has been significiant in the last few months in Baltic regions and even in Ukraine. Despite Ukraine not being NATO on paper they remain a major ally. NATO is taking Russia very serious they feel threatened somehow they didn't react like this since the Cold war. The Eastern european theater is the main US theater that is where all their heavy mobilization and forces are located and not in the Pacific. Which means all the war preparations is facing Russia

No one is invading Russia. I do not want a war over Crimea.

Ofcourse not there won't be war over Crimea that is insignificiant but the alertness level is high on the eastern European front which is the US and NATO's main frontline. I don't know yet why this shift but it could be due to some intel

maybe they want to deter 100,000 Russian troops on Ukrainian border
as a civilian I am not impressed by Russian military anymore

It could be due to Ukraine to deter them so Russia doesn't become bold further moving on the Baltic, Poland and other european countries. Russia remains a main threat in Europe due to geolocation and specifically threat to the western european belt which NATO is safe guarding heavily and Russia remains a threat to them which is why the restlessness has occured in NATO recently

 

[Beidou2020]

Now that India has officially become a US client state, Russia-Pakistan relations will grow.

 

[khansaheeb]

Yeh, not soon enough.

 

[White Lion]

dates are still not confirm, so its too early to expect he will visit.

July 4 is an interesting date...Turn US festive mood to something else

 

[Scorpiooo]

We might see some progress in field of Defense deals with russia specially in case of attack and utilities helicopters and riffles etc during or post visit
