Pakistan-Saudi Arabia mutual defense pact: News & Discussion

[maxpane]

Relations should grow and expand across all relevant fields and future fields (AI, renewables, education, science, environment) etc. Make business between companies, businessmen, direct investment etc. easier as well in both the public and private sector.

Most importantly Pakistan should get its act together economically and fulfill its potential and human capital. With a population approaching 250 million, Pakistan should be doing way, way better economically and in return it would emerge as a more attractive investment destination.

Signing some kind of peace treaty or reaching an understanding with India (most realistic with a future Indian government) and solving the mess with Afghanistan would go a long way and would shift Pakistan's focus to mostly internal affairs.

The region (Muslim world as a whole as well) need to create a greater economic bond which would limit overall senseless rivalries and foster greater cooperation across the board as it would be mutually beneficial. This is how Europe after WW2 managed to burry the hatched after 100's of bloody wars and rivalry. Nowadays the rivalry is in sports or economic performances.


KSA might have the strongest domestic league in Asia but for Pakistani football to truly excel (KSA outside of Asia itself as well) we need to send more of our best players to Europe where the world's best leagues are.

Anyway I am sure that KSA could help (probably has done already) to build a football infrastructure in Pakistan. Maybe more so after we are done hosting the World Cup in 2034 (next year Asian Cup for instance) and we ourselves gain additional experience in this regard.

As for cricket, I have never watched a full game yet but maybe the sport could gain some traction among locals so Pakistani expertise here is welcome.

Economy and education for 250 million people is must. in future without tech knowledge no nation can survive this is the worst case for us. Economy i pray that our elite comes to senses we are far far behind if we want to ccomoete woth india w e need a better economy. For regional trade its impossible until india stop attacking neigbouring countries and use water as a threat.
On a trade between muslim countries there is a huge potentials if muslim countries show some serousness we all can build jeta tanks by building vonsortium just like Europeans . its possible if muslim countries are seeous.
i dnt like cricket kuch. Saudi league is the best option fot pakistani footballers to get first hand experinece by playing with and against some of the best players in the league. it would create a market for saudi league in country like pakistan i know many people like football and it can help our players to get real time experience
