UAE halts sales of Naphtha from Pakistan after getting cosy with India

[coffee_cup]

No problems there.

This is how the business works. Make high value products and generate demand for them, and they will come to buy these.

I am quite happy that Pakistan is slowly waking up to the reality and coming out of this "Umma" concept. Rely on yourself and nobody else. This must be our moto.

Don't bother about these Middle Eastern countries, why should they be wanting anything good for us?

Things that Pakistan can do, if few honest people are appointed in the right places:

1) Promote PIA with all possible strenght and stop giving all the lucarative routes to Emirates or Etihad or Qatar etc.
2) Put heavy taxes on anyone who wants to set up a business in UAE (i.e. taking out money from Pakistan to invest in UAE)
3) Promote more trade with Turkey, Iran and other Central Asian Republics along with our great neighbor China

etc etc.

I know it looks laughable at the moment, but quite do-able if these corrupt politicians who have all set up their businesses in UAE are brought to justice.

u can not do that without any significant reason.

We need the airbase back to use it to fight against the BLA and TTP militants. Is that a good reason for you ?

This is false propoganda by Indian Media.
A direct message from King has been sent to Pakistan exposing Indian Conspiracy, under which UAE have denied to participate in and thus UAE stands with Pakistan and will not support India ill adventures.

Hahaha

 

[kṣamā]

Isn't it just trade ?? It's just business nothing personal.

 

[Makaramarma]

Well this is not good news for Pakistan
But we have back door option
UAE will start again with more profit then now Mark my words

Are you going to bend over to allow entry in the "back door" ?

I see only one thing, Modi is increasing India;s export basket by gaining more clients. We dont care how others are going to be impacted. Its pure business.

 

[Side-Winder]

Well, Good. Hope the craze of blind love for arabians in some sections of our society dilutes now.

No he is targeting someone's business.

I was just about to write that.

Pakistanis, like other nations, should understand that there are no permanent friends, they are your friends as long as it suit their interests. That's why Pakistanis should realize that if they don't build and advance their nation (and they have great potential in that), no one will help you in that matter either.

Perhaps, refusing to join stupid Yemen war was one of the most important foreign policy decisions Pakistan has ever made in past decade, because for first time imo, it served Pakistan's best interests, while being in contrast to interests of so called 'friends' of Pakistan.

 

[unbiasedopinion]

No he is targeting someone's business.

Dude, that may be coincidental. He went there to increase business. Obviously UAE cannot generate additional demand on top of what UAE already had just to give more business to India. UAE has to cut its existing supplier to give order to India. Now in this case it happens to be Pakistan...Thats it..There is no point in giving too much importance to any one entity where there should not be.

Which country can lease out her strategic assets like shamsi airbase ?

 

[ravindra1455]

Your fight against all these militant is alredy in last phase acc to your generals

 

[mpk1988]

Oh Cmon... It's probably just coincidence. News media outlets would exploit anything for views nowadays. Of course, Ind-Pak means a potential of 1.5 billion people eating it up.

 

[Irfan Baloch]

Great news. I am not denying there are no benefits in our relationship with UAE but too many of our people have too much of high regard for UAE. This is disproportionate to the benefits that accrue to Pakistan.

These things will help to shake our people to get reality check.

UAE did business and they a re free to choose their vendor ,
by the way we must not send ex army police men as mercenaries to quell their local uprisings and arab awakenings that ;late gen Hamid Gul was managing... also we cant be obliged to stop trading with Iran because it hurts them
