[Silverblaze]

Having strong ties abroad and allies is the 123-abc of politics. Pakistan is allies with both less so with UAE but more with Qatar, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. The UAE-Pakistan relations not so good currently

Just look at the world and you will see defined and strong alliances across the board. Strong internal muscle can't help you from an outside issue

You are not Congo that is the problem and Congo is irrelevant in the world stage. WW3 it will happen and you will play part even if you don't want to it will come to you and sitting docks without allies will get impregnated. This is just the reality of life allies provide a protective layer over layer. Allies are a protective shield in times of peace and war

If the USA leaves who will protect the Sandi Arabians from their enemies? Who will provide the Sandi Arabians with money so they can obtain food and goods to live lavish lifestyles?

Makes a lot of sense for SA to seek closer ties with Pakistan. Pakistani men are one of the biggest toughest gangs (gangs, tribes, groups...that is in essence what we all are) in the region.

Yesterday speech from Biden and saying US will not be supporting any gulf countries in Yemen endeavours will have many after shocks. I suspect we will be hearing some visits very soon.

This is encouraging news for the pdf mafia.

By the recent actions of both SA and UAE its hard to imagine that both these countries want to strengthen anything with Pakistan at all. At the moment all it appears as if they want to end.

I don't know, what recent actions you refer to, but no action can be more problematic for (real) Pakistanis than the presence of RAW in Iran, since decades.
Quite contrary Pakistan regime happily smuggle defense technology and $ to same country, who burn Pakistani flag, embassy and attack it's diplomats.
In such circumstance, it's hard to believe what ever you are saying, but have no substance to share.

Islamabad : Ambassador of Saudi Arabia Nawaf Saeed Al-Malkiy said that Saudi Arabia wanted to further strengthen its trade ties with Pakistan as both countries have great scope to promote trade in many areas.

He said that Saudi Arabia wanted to see Pakistan as a growing economy as it was a very important country for the whole Muslim Ummah. He said this while addressing the business community during his visit to Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The envoy said that Saudi Arabia intended to further expand its commercial and investment cooperation with Pakistan. He said that Pakistan has a lot of potential for economic growth that should be highlighted more effectively to attract foreign investors. He urged that the media should focus on projecting the positive things of Pakistan to change wrong perception about it. He said that misperceptions about Pakistan in foreign world needed to be changed to unlock its real economic potential.

On the occasion, Sardar Yasir Ilyas Khan President ICCI and Nawaf Saeed Al-Malkiy, Ambassador of Saudi Arabia signed an MoU of cooperation to work jointly for promoting business relations between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

Speaking at the occasion, Sardar Yasir Ilyas Khan, president, Islamabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry (ICCI) said that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia enjoyed very cordial relations, but the bilateral trade of around US$ 3.5 billion was much below the real potential of both countries, therefore, strenuous efforts from both sides were needed to improve it. He said that many high quality and cost effective Pakistani products including Halal food products, pharmaceuticals, textiles, surgical instruments, rice, fruits, dairy products, sports wears, leather products, financial services, insurance & IT services and entertainment products could find good market in Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia should focus on importing these products from Pakistan.

Sardar Yasir Ilyas Khan emphasised that both countries should focus on strengthening B2B contacts, exchange of trade delegations and participation in trade fairs on reciprocal basis to improve trade volume. He said that Pakistan was establishing many special economic zones under CPEC and investors of Saudi Arabia should explore JVs and investment in these SEZs. He said that Pakistan was working for a One Window for investors that would facilitate Saudi investors to invest in Pakistan.

Mian Akram Farid, chairman Founder Group ICCI and Fatima Azim, senior vice president, Abdul Rehman Khan, Vice President ICCI, Aslam Khokhar and others also spoke at the occasion and shared ideas for further promoting bilateral trade and economic relations between the two countries.
