The common interests of the United States and China in Pakistan?

        At the global level, it is very clear that Pakistan is important for the world in two dimensions. Its economic importance is also certain, while the security of the region is also connected with it. If an attempt is made to wall off Pakistan by taking advantage of its current weak economy, Pakistan may also be forced to enter into a defense pact to meet its strategic needs, which is sure to be a no-brainer. There will be no situation, but for the survival of national security, one has to take a bitter sip. All the regional and international forces should keep in mind that forcing Pakistan will have an impact on Pakistan, there will be other victims as well. When the former Soviet Union signed a defense agreement with India before the war of 1971 and supported India in destroying Pakistan by violating international ethics, Pakistan did nothing but sip its blood helplessly. I was able to do it, but a scar was left in my heart. Then, when the former Soviet Union came to Torkham to protect the communist-minded ruling elite in Afghanistan, Pakistan had no choice but to side with the anti-Soviet states. 


      Certainly, Pakistan did not play a role in the former Soviet Union, but to deny this fact would be to ignore the fact that Pakistan did not play an important role in it. Then the world saw that after the Afghan war, America left Pakistan and Afghanistan alone and both of them tried to heal their wounds on their own. But after leaving it alone, rather because of it, the situation in Afghanistan gave birth to a tragedy like 9/11. Therefore, the strategy of walling off Pakistan should be completely avoided even in modern times, it will not be in anyone's interest.


      I'm not just talking about insecurity as a result of isolation, but it will also have huge economic consequences. It is also a matter of concern for the United Nations that Afghanistan is still unstable and there are question marks on the government's grip there. From there, the snake of terrorism is not only spreading its trap for us, but other countries of the world are also complaining about it. The issue of Xinjiang is of great importance to China and the goals of the outlawed TTP are not only limited to Pakistan, but they are engaged in a strategy to destabilize Pakistan, China and other countries in the region from Afghanistan.


      The strategic importance of Pakistan is present in the entire Arab region from Iran. Pakistan is a foreign country that the Arab world trusts and we do not have any problems to settle with them. Pakistan's military power is also a certainty. Both Pakistan and India are nuclear powers and their intertwining is not only harmful for these two countries, but its effects are being set up on global strategic affairs as well as on global trade. If the Kashmir issue is resolved, it will not only bring relief to the people of both the countries, but the entire world will benefit from it.


      If China and the United States play their role in normalizing the mutual relations between Pakistan and India, the global trade will benefit. For example, under the patronage of the United States, a trade corridor is being established from India, which will be a trade route for goods from India to Israel and from Israel to Europe. The passage of this corridor is right in front of Pakistan's maritime boundaries and in case of conflict with Pakistan, this corridor will remain insecure at all times. Similarly, the pilot project of BRI is CPEC, which is a plan to transport Chinese products from Central Asia to Europe, Africa.


      China and India want to acquire Iranian oil and gas, the shortest route is only Pakistan, India wants access to the markets of Central Asia and Europe. Less travel than Pakistan is not possible anywhere else. Most of Pakistan's exports go to America. America and its allied countries have the most important role in foreign exchange. In the same way, China's importance in Pakistan's economy has become a certainty. When no one was investing in Pakistan, it was China that stepped forward and invested. Pakistan could not manage the Chinese investment in a proper manner and by unnecessarily developing the western route, we increased the debt burden on ourselves. But if we deal with China sensibly, these debt issues can also be resolved. If understanding is shown in diplomacy, Pakistan can take these two countries together, which is needed by both of them.
