It would be better if Pakistan, after helping its own citizens, prioritizes its resources and personnel to help people from African countries and other people (from countries Pakistan is trying to build a deeper relationship with) over the Indians. Although, if Indians ask for help, Pakistan should provide it, but not prioritize it over other nations.Retarded Pakistanis logic. Help those that want to wipe out our people, race and nation..........brilliant!..........
This is not the time to be emotional but logical. The Indian students, individually and as a group, may be grateful, and we don’t wish them I’ll, but this is a major opportunity for Pakistan to leverage its good will with Ukraine to help Africans and people from the Middle East out of Ukraine.
Also, despite the potential backlash from Russia, Pakistan should condemn the invasion at the UN, and ask for an immediate ceasefire. Pakistan needs to distinguish itself from the abstaining Indians in the minds of its trading partners, and through it, try to get out of FATF, and try to spearhead an initiative to protect the developing world from the ramifications of this crisis, which could be global famine with the inevitable shortage of fertilizer, wheat and oil/gas. If this seems too extreme and one sided, we should see how even China is backing off from supporting Russia. Russia still needs to sell its products, so the blowback from Russia on Pakistan will be mild in comparison to what a collective of the majority of Pakistan’s trading partners can do.
Also, for Pakistan, the next time India will try to attack Pakistan, the vote against the Russian invasion can be held up as proof that Pakistan prioritized principles, while India believes in might makes right. Which can be used to strengthen the cause of the Kashmiri people.
Further, any deal for Russian oil or gas via pipeline may take years to come to fruition, trade corridors through Russia will be futile for the time being, and Pakistan has lived 75 years with less then optimal relations with the Russians, a few more years until this crisis is resolved won’t make that much difference. Pakistan can try to leverage its principled position to try to get some kind of prioritized access (along with other developing countries as a collective) to markets and resources, to strengthen the effort to make it financially viable for developing countries to stand on the principles as much as the developed countries.
P.s. looks like the government has decided to abstain. Perhaps they saw better reasons then I have put forth. They weighed the pros and cons and I trust they must have felt they made a smart choice.
An interesting point about many if not most of the 35 countries that abstained could be that many of them see the prospects of the BRI as their future and Russian involvement in Eurasian integration is essential.
