As much as we like to believe otherwise, the Arab governments aren't stupid, especially the members that are of the older generation. The gulf governments have realized that they cannot continue on the path they currently are, which is why we're seeing them invest in other industries, in order to create strong industrial areas to offset the decline in oil money. We're also seeing them talk about VATs and alternative energy sources, in order to make sure they have a long term sustainable revenue stream.
My point is that their economies may slow down, but they will still continue to grow. Pakistan will have to (and will) outpace them, in order for Pakistan to have a stronger hand, when dealing with its middle eastern allies.
I firmly believe that the time for Pakistan to become truly independent, without the need for poisonous aid, is almost over; it will end within 3ish decades.
Pakistan and Kuwait had signed the agreement for holders of diplomatic, special and official passports in November 2013. However, the agreement came into effect in August 2014.
“Such visa regimes and agreements are meant to ease travelling of the government officials and diplomats. An agreement cannot last which is not reciprocated,” remarked Nisar.

If Pakistan controls terrorism and corruption, there is no reason that Pakistan cannot surpass these racist states in a span of one decade.Good job, Nisar actually showed a bit of spine.
The tide will likely turn within 30-40 years, as Pakistan gets richer and overtakes most Arab nations.
100% correct, it's only and only corruption, making Pakistan not only poor but beggar.If Pakistan controls terrorism and corruption, there is no reason that Pakistan does not surpass these racist states in a span of one decade.
Actually these camel jockeys think rest of the muslim world is terrorist. And they are mot peace loving people on this earth. But, world knows the reality.....Plus, they have superiority complex being a arab. A superior race. ..lolz... which i noticed so many times.Based upon my personal experiences, Pakistanis get the worst treatment compared to any other nationality. I try to avoid going to Kuwait as much as I can but sometimes I have to.
Kuwaiti Embassy in London refuses to grant me an entry Visa saying that UK Passport holders do not need prior Visa. However each time I go there, I am stuck for up to a couple of hours at the Airport Immigration Office because my birth place is listed as Pakistan. I have always been granted entry but only after my security clearance has been received, which I understand comes from the US!
Last time caused me additional problem. My luggage; having not been collected as I was stuck in the Arrivals lounge awaiting clearance; was considered ‘Suspicious’ and taken to a different room. I had to have the luggage re-examined thoroughly by the Customs before I could leave the airport.
Arrogance of the Kuwaitis at the airport made me wish that it would have been better if Kuwaitis had been left to rot under Saddam Hussein
