Description

PAKISTAN has decided to opt for a paradigm shift in its foreign policy. It has also for the first time wisely used its strategic location for deriving long-term economic benefits for the people of this country, particularly in the face of the heightened risk of shrinking foreign capital flows from Western bilateral or multilateral sources. CPEC should be the beginning of a long overdue process of using economic interests rather than politics as the pivot for our relationships with our neighbours. China’s own example should guide us. Despite political disputes, China’s trade with India is worth $100 billion annually. It has single-mindedly pursued economic integration with the region and the world and that is why it is the world’s largest goods exporter.
