If the situation is as you described it, so much more painful than I thought.We already f**dup our relations with GCC when we said no to Yemen war. Finally when things started to get back to normal under IK,pissing Saudis again would had hurt our economy badly. Mahatir made a bold statement but very controversial that his summit will laid foundation to replace OIC which is, to ignore Saudis and form a new block. I agree OIC itself is good for nothing but perhaps for now we are not ready to join another camp altogether. Having said this, all the best to the new Muslim block and hopefully in near by future, we will join them as well.
I don't mean to undermine your optimistic predictions, but the situation you describe shows that there is no capacity to shape a country's future if the political will of a country changes with the political pressure of another state.
Pakistan's vital role of the some gulf states in its national defense, especially in the air force, is evident for decades. Have you ever seen a Pakistani government official who intervened in the will of the gulf states because of investing in India or even establishing a strategic relationship? The Kuala Lumpur Summit, which is a kind of extension of tripartite mechanism never has a negative thinking base against neither KSA nor Iran. On the contrary, we have embarked on this path with the idea of developing dialogue and common vision in our region and breaking the influence of the hegamon forces.
May be I can't find words that can explain the situation appropriately: Pakistan has been stepped down by someone even to participate in such a peaceful summit and has been mortgaged its will; so i want to ask, When the Pakistani government wanted to establish a strategic partnership in the future ( lets say in the aero&space field with Malaysia or Turkey) what if the same ones don't allow it again?
If Pakistan is not capable of protecting its will, then why is the triple mechanism established? The process was very mismanaged. Unfortunately, this will have some consequences. May God help us.
