Pakistan has no friends in region: Ahmed Rashid

[SpArK]

Im kinda sick of this guy, he is just plain irritating, the only reason he survives because he says what many here want to listen which is far from reality. Just wanted to show the real picture to the many India haters here.

It's blessed by the mods.

Why are you guys repeating what i have been saying.???

1.china. - Wants to use Pakistan as a proxy against India, has no interest in having an equal relationship with Pakistan, fears Pakistan's extremist attitude finding a way into its Muslim population.

2.turkey - Does not care about Pakistan in any way, goes where there is money, wants nothing to do with the "Muslim Ummah"

3.afghanistan(like it or not ) - Huge divide between the population, blames Pakistan for the mess in their country, relationship strained and based on monetary benefits.

4.saudi arab - Has no interest in Pakistan at all, Saudi's work for money and nothing else. They view themselves as the best muslims and everyone else as second grade. Not an ally in any way.

5.srilanka. - Will not risk losing Indian business by getting too close to Pakistan. Other than military exchange of goods no real diplomatic relations.

Now lets look at India

Israel - Strong and historic relation, supports India on every world forum.

Maldives - Consider India as its closest ally, very strong diplomatic relations.

Nepal - Values its currency against the Indian rupee, long and strong history of relations.

Singapore and Malaysia - among their closest allies and major base for business.

South Korea - Recent south Korean's PM's visit outlines the strong and equal relations between the country.

Japan - India is one of Japan's oldest allies and Japan has supported India's cause at every global front.

Indonesia - Historic ties, strong diplomatic relations, robust trade and growing immigration.

China - unlike popular perception here, relations have drastically improved in the past 10 years, huge trade relations and a growing diplomatic understanding, China has supported India many times on world forums.

Bangladesh - Unlike what many trolls here say, India has shared very strong relations with Dhaka, huge part of the creation of the country, very strong trade ties, general friendship between the populations.

Myanmar - India was one of the leading supporters of Burmese independence and established diplomatic relations after Burma's independence from Great Britain in 1948. For many years, Indo-Burmese relations were strong due to cultural links, flourishing commerce, common interests in regional affairs and the presence of a significant Indian community in Burma

Laos - In recent years, India has endeavoured to build relations, with this small Southeast Asian nation. They have strong military relations, and India shall be building an Airforce Academy in Laos

The Philippines - India signed in October 2007 the Framework for Bilateral Cooperation which created the PH-India JCBC. It has working groups in trade, agriculture, tourism, health, renewable energy and a regular policy consultation mechanism and security dialogue.

Thailand - The Indian epics, Mahabharata, and Ramayana, are popular and are widely taught in schools as part of the curriculum in Thailand. The example can also be seen in temples around Thailand, where the story of Ramayana and renowned Indian folk stories are depicted on the temple wall. Thailand, has become a big tourist destination for Indians.

Vietnam - India supported Vietnam's independence from France, opposed U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War and supported unification of Vietnam. India established official diplomatic relations in 1972 and maintained friendly relations. India granted the "Most Favoured Nation" status to Vietnam in 1975 and both nations signed a bilateral trade agreement in 1978 and the Bilateral Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (BIPPA) on March 8, 1997.


This is just in the Asian community, India has shared very strong relations with the majority of the world and is views as a peaceful and strong democracy unlike Pakistan. This is apparent in the immense backing that India gets at every UN submit or any world forum. AJTR stop trolling just for the sake of it specially when you really know nothing.

This guy is a freaking idiot. Always making such stupid articles, and then ends up getting owned sooner or later. He just needs to look at the region carefully. Dumbass.
