A safe passage through Afghanistan for all the countries connecting it to Gwadar to Russia and a safe passage through the Central Asia countries and Iran all the way to Turkey, connecting Western Europe to these countries. $92 trillion dollars of the world GDP and 56% of it being locked within these countries and first time in modern history a combined trading block. And none of it could be done without Pakistan and its deep water port.
Simply put. Afghanistan became the graveyard of economic dominance dreams of the West and India. The worst America can do at this time is to freeze Afghan assets overseas, nothing more than $15 billion dollars. And the prediction is that it will do that and do it in tranches. Will that kill the Afghan economy? No. Temporary chaos? Yes. Nothing more than that because this was expected and I am sure it was preempted in more ways than we can imagine.
Conclusion is that the balance of economic power has tilted to the east. Pakistan will have regional importance like never before. Economic activity will pick up within the next 6 to 12 months and will continue to rise. Afghanistan will attract an immense amount of reconstruction and development funds.
Not just roads but institutions like Tax Authority, Financial Markets Development, Banking sector enhancements, dams and you name it. Together all the countries named above will reshape the region and Pakistan will be at the heart of all this. Insha Allah. Good days are ahead. 70,000 lives of our martyrs have finally brought us to this stage. Let’s pay tribute to them and play our cards right. And the first step towards playing the cards right is to stay united and fight fake news.
The great game of UK is over apparently or seemingly for now and Russia may be getting access to hot water through Afghanistan. At this point of time the regional countries like China, Russia, Iran, Turkey and all central Asian countries should come to rescue Afghanistan and help Pakistan the threat of the west. This is the great opportunity. It should not be lost.
USA, UK, India and Israel are still trying to destabilize Afghanistan through DAESH and other hidden forces that USA left in Afghanistan. There blasts and demonstrations and possibly drone attacks in Afghanistan to create trouble for Taliban Rule in Afghanistan. They will surly try their best to block CPEC to reach central Asia and try to deny Russia access to hot waters which should be jointly resit by all countries around Afghanistan. Most probably, USA and its allies shall play the games Afghan Taibans in power and opponents will start gorilla war or ultimately a civil war.
