Pakistan invites Turkey to join $64 billion mega project

[Fenasi Kerim]

What kind of a comment is that?
When ever did Pakistan sell us out and in what way or how could they sell us out in this case(economic investment)?

Do explain,i want to know.

Type in bomba atar kazigi by Pakistan, try the electricity crises with the Turkish companies.

None of our recent weapon deals have been paid for, all on loan, total rip offs because people like you have this “dost ulke amk” attitude. It seems Turkey Pakistan relationship is based on Turkish charity.

Yes they would sell us out for China and KSA look around the forum and recent threads about Uighurs etc.

Don’t BS me that Turkey would gain anything from this investment outside of a “dost kazigi”.

Such an idiotic comment.

Pakistan compartmentalises its relationships. What we do with KSA or China has no bearing on what we do with Turkey.

Its a mega project, Pakistan feels there's business to be done with Turkey.

Invite is there, to join or not to join is entirely up to Turkey. They'll have to decide based on their own assessment of things.

What is the return on my investment is a stupid question? You obviously have no clue in finance.

It has a lot of bearing, where Turkish and Chinese / KSA interests collide and Pakistan has to choose a side, who will they choose.

Their relationship with China is like ours with the US until the 2000s,in those days we couldnt say or do anything against the US,its called dependence,you know that already but you want them to piss off their only weapons supplier?
They would never side with the KSA against Türkiye,that i dont believe.

You really need to do some research on international weapon deals.
What weapons we delivered and they didnt pay?

Apparently, Chinese ''enlargement '' policy does intentionally not involve Turkey; however, Pakistan officially expects Turkey to change her national policy in tune with Chinese interests for sake of Pakistan's wish. Only does an enemy want such thing.

Nothing but pure idiocity.

Investments are not always profitable, why should Turkey invest in something that only benefits Pakistan and China directly?

There are mega construction projects happening always that turkish firms can take advantage of, there is investment to be done in the power sector, the industrial sector is kicking off, cpec is a bandwagon sanctioned by the next economic superpower, its extremely beneficial for those who jump on this now.

When did we demand such a thing?, we have established relations with Iran while keeping the saudis engaged. Our relationship with the Turks is older than the creation of Pakistan, ur state honours Iqbal n Jinnah on a national scale, we honour the memory of the Ottoman empire. Our relationship with Turkey does not involve China whatsoever. I will qoute one example, both t129 n z10 were trailed for our attack heli needs, we choose t 129 didnt we?, we didnt appease China, we choos the better heli at a time when China was investing billions of dollars in Pak while turkey was investing none.

I think ppl need to cool down a bit. Someone already mentioned some pretty decent views with regards to what benefits Turkey could gain from investing in Pakistan, but I would like point out that T-123.... etc. comments about dependency is very important.

First of all we've been invited to invest in Pakistan, and that is regardless of CPEC or whatever. If you look at it from a pakistani perspective it's only good to have many different investor in your country and infrastructure, so that you can at least diversify your dependency. However due to how the world looks since 9/11 ME, and all countries with Muslims have been at the receiving end of the barb, it's only strategically sound for Russia and China to extend a hand to those countries who're important, and have been treated badly by their own allies.

Pakistan has been at the receiving end quite a lot, and it's (IMO) thanks to China and Russias constant strenghtening of Pakistani armed forces that the country hasn't descended into Chaos. Especially considering how the west decided to turn ME into a combat zone once again.

Now scrolling back, I think our government will make sound decisions when investing in Pakistan, and Pakistan needs all the help they can get since Imran will need allies to reshape the country into a sound an solid entity. The way I see it, only India benefits from having an unstable Pakistan.

Maybe the Turkey won't get any profit from selling the t129, or Milgem, but I think our governments investment will go far into ensuring that the Turkish private sector investing in Pakistan will gain enough profit to even it out somehow.

I do think that Pakistan would be more willing and happier to give some (if not certain sensitive) infrastructure projects to Turkey. Perhaps help developing housing sector, or hotel chains at attractive locations and such.

I find it tasteless to throw a tantrum in here, especially by some turks who somehow has the gall to feel indignation towards history and our bonds.

 

[Valar.]

Wow ! Looking at this thread, seems like a mere invitation to invest in Pak has turned into some kinda diplomatic rift.

How about just simply say, Thanks, but no thanks, and move on? lol

As per the Turkish authorities, they're very closely watching CPEC!!! By the by, Turkey is also a part of the OBOR!!! And, Istanbul and Doha are earmarked to be the parts of the financial capitals along that path...

As for China and Pak relations, it's now turned into "don't give me fishes, show me how to fish" mode!!! It means more two-way trade in b/w China and Pak!!! And, the Turkish companies can leverage that with parts of their R&D, productions, marketing etc. bases in Pak to get into both the markets!!! Quite an opportunity given the steady opening of the Chinese market....

Pakistan has invited Turkey to join the multi-billion-dollar China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project, which would benefit both countries, official media said Nov. 8.

"Pakistan highly values its relations with Turkey, and the new government desires to further strengthen relations between Islamabad and Ankara, said Asad Qaiser, speaker of the National Assembly, while speaking with Turkey’s ambassador to Pakistan Ihsan Mustafa Yurdakul.

Yurdakul met with Qaiser in his office at Parliament House in Islamabad.

According to state-run Radio Pakistan, Qaiser invited Turkey to join CPEC, which will benefit all countries in the region.

CPEC, a $64 billion megaproject signed in 2014, aims to connect China's strategically important northwestern Xinjiang province to Pakistan’s Gwadar Port through a network of roads, railways and pipelines to transport cargo, oil and gas.

The economic corridor will not only provide China with cheaper access to Africa and the Middle East but will also earn Pakistan billions of dollars for providing transit facilities to the world’s second-largest economy.
Turkey’s ambassador also vowed to strengthen relations with Pakistan.

"The Turkish people always consider Pakistan as their second home, and we wish to see this country always strong and prosperous," Yurdakul said.

Yurdakul also extended an invitation to Qaiser to attend the second League of Parliamentarian Conference for Al-Quds, which will be held on Dec. 14 in Istanbul.

Your question is an oxymoron.

Pakistan has removed political barriers for Turkey to invest in the project.

Turkey will evaluate and invest only if their investments can turn a profit.

There's no compulsion on Turkey to invest.

I hope that's not too hard to understand.

Type in bomba atar kazigi by Pakistan, try the electricity crises with the Turkish companies.

It has a lot of bearing, where Turkish and Chinese / KSA interests collide and Pakistan has to choose a side, who will they choose.

 

[what]

Zorlu and Vestel are both two companies already investing in Pakistan. I dont see why Turkish construction companies should not be involved in the Economic corridor.

 

[Kompromat]

Pakistan is an accepted regional power, we will choose our own side, just like every mature state does.

There are a lot of areas where the US, Chinese, Saudi, Iranian interests collide but Pakistan remains unaffected. We maintain good ties with all of them. That's called Realpolitik.

If you look at this map below , you would know Turkey is a key part of the bigger plan. So invitation was imminent although I expected it to be extended at a little later into the project. But sooner the better!
