Russia may join Pakistan-China economic corridor (CPEC) project

[Hiptullha]

Developing good ties with Russia will be beneficial for Pakistan .

And obviously make our neighbors on the east feel a sharp pain in their backside as we can see from our friend, @Andross 's posts.

Russia joining the CPEC is a welcome omen but we should not be too optimistic about the volume of trade Russia will route from Pakistan.

The extreme population density of Russia and its financial centres all lies towards the stretch of European Union and it is only wise for Russia to continue its existing routes for Europe. The only logical route passing through Pakistan is the bilateral trade with Middle East but Russia itself is energy sufficient so it would not need to import that. The middle east hardly exports anything but energy so I am not sure the actual volume of trade it can do from this route.

The most suitable partner for trade is India and South Asia but then it is highly unlikely to be allowed through this route any time soon. So I give this proposal of Russia a great strategic importance but may not be so significant for bilateral trade in near future.

Hit report that harami hindi Chutiya.

Well, it was an interesting experience seeing an Indian turn wild with jealousy and rage.

Well done Pakistan, good to know Russia may be interested in joining a project.

Moreover Russia can also opt through Iran route to Indian ocean

No actually that is more tricky.

Iran does not share good relationship with Middle East

Russia sees CPEC as a ready-made infrastructure from Gwadar to Urumqi (just a little far from Russia) compared to much longer and non-existent route of Iran to Afghanistan/Turkmenistan >>> Uzbekistan/Tajikistan >>> Kazakhstan to Russia. This route is much longer and needs tens of billions of dollars of investment on top of years of planning and construction work to begin from scratch.

The route of CPEC already exists, they just need to upgrade it

Few post above show how much danger from india pakistan is in.

Russia can reach iran by caspean sea, no need afghanistan or Central asian nations

This is the shortest possible route from Moscow

Since India never be a part of CPEC,Russia will not show much interest in CPEC.

Russian interest will be to pass oil pipeline to energy hungry india

No not at all...

The aim is to not reach Russia only but to reach at most convenient location with shortest route possible. If Russia wanted to link Moscow then the trade route from Caspian sea might be viable but then why does it even need to do all the effort when she already has better pre-established links with Europe and rest of the world.

What CPEC offers to Russia is that it has road connectivity from Urumqi to Siberian Federal District, Ural Federal District, Far Eastern Federal District otherwise beyond the reach of sea-trade. Gwadar is technically the closest port to these states of Russia except technically a much longer route from sea of Japan.

Besides that, these are your mere wishes of keeping regional economic powers away from Pakistan as you already know the ground reality of Arabs not dealing with Russia under the mercy of Iran. They can opt to create longer routes but avoid giving royalty to Iran or ever being blackmailed by them. As I said earlier, Russia joining CPEC will bear limited result unless the SAARC nations also become part of it.

Since, Russians are good, intelligent and hardworking, by joining CPEC Russia can demonstrate that China is simply using RAW as an excuse to hide it's own . . . . . . (Word of criticism may get me banned).

 

[tarrar]

I hope they do.

 

[macnurv]

You are acting childish. Indians have no objection to CPEC. What Indians have objections are that it cannot pass through GB. I am sure if it passes through GB, Indian government will not allow it to complete or even it is completed and goes though GB, Indian government will make sure it doesn't function properly.

The best idea is Pakistan government look for alternative route such as one through Afghanistan

Oh cry me a river, at least show some guts and own up to your real intentions. India does not want Pakistan to develop, at least you are fully honest as our enemies, we should be honest with our expectations regarding India and that not expect any good. Now piss off, no body gives 2$hits in Pakistan what you think and don't think.

It is a good news, if Russians are showing interest in developing projects. Although I am not sure if the deal would go through since their are sanctions on Russia imposed by western countries and GOP track record isn't very shining when it comes to taking pressure.

Pakistan has more then just oil dear and Dubai has not made it self on oil money. Get your facts right first.
Ever hear of shale oil and vast gas, gold, silver, copper and much more resources of Pakistan??? Only corruption need to be eliminated.

Whenever Pakistan is going to get in better situations specially economically, all Indian and other enimies are like this :
