You truly are faceless, did you ignore the part where he said the deal has been made?

He said the same about India a couple weeks back and we all saw what became of it
And what's happeing right now is most likely some sort of pressure tactics on India as @Meengla suggested
Unless an actual deal is signed on an actual paper it's just Trump being Trump

 

[SteppeWolff]

I'll believe it when I see it, but if we actually have the "4th largest oil&gas reserves" in our offshore waters, that would be a truly transformational discovery for Pakistan. That would also mean the eradication of BLA in our South, cherry on top.

Maybe I am right. Maybe not. We are all speculating here.
A major difference between India-Pak is that whatever more than the current trade surplus that Pakistan can get out of America now is basically 'bonus' . Pakistani planners have basically written off America for decades but not to the point of antagonizing the Americans. Indians, since Modi 2014, had different ideas. They have certainly achieved a lot but now it seems Indian foreign policy is failing and I don't know how they can reverse the failure when it comes to some critical forums like the UNSC Resolutions.

P.s - don’t forget this means ikhwan are going to start making efforts to sabotage this as well

They have already started. The entire PTI overseas brigade is conjuring weird conspiracies to sabotage it.

I am pretty sure we will hear they sold our oil and minerals for pennies.

Bharat fools the Bharatis for all the time, the US folks for some time, and the Pak folks for no time.....

Long ago I predicted the real exploration report lies on the desk at the West Wing....

This explains why India crossed the IB in desperation to make an international scene and affect US-Pak warming of relations. The minerals conference was the final straw for them.

Once extraction begins in oil and minerals and US real estate developers start building quality city centre skylines and we see it all taking shape, they are going to have daily melt downs.

Correct. India was very concerned about warming US- Pak relations and crossed IB to stop it

Pakistan is entering a pivotal phase of its economic journey, marked by major discoveries, growing international partnerships, and accelerated infrastructure development. President Trump's recent announcement of an energy partnership underscores the growing recognition of Pakistan’s untapped potential. The country is believed to have the 4th largest potential oil and gas reserves in the world, much of which lies offshore and in underexplored regions of Sindh and Balochistan. If successfully extracted through global partnerships, these resources could drastically cut Pakistan’s energy import bill, enhance energy security, and position the country as a key energy supplier in the region.

Over the past year alone, more than ten new oil and gas discoveries have been made, mainly by companies like OGDCL and PPL. These developments have renewed hope in the exploration sector, attracting fresh foreign interest and investments. With the right policy support, this could transform Pakistan’s economic structure and help stabilize the rupee by reducing its reliance on imported fuels.

Beyond hydrocarbons, Pakistan possesses immense untapped mineral wealth. Projects like Reko Diq — estimated to hold tens of trillions of dollars in copper and gold — and rare earth elements found across Gilgit-Baltistan, KP, and Balochistan are now attracting global mining giants. The Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum drew hundreds of international delegates, opening the door to strategic mineral partnerships with countries like China and Canada. If governed transparently, this sector could unlock long-term revenue streams for the state.

Energy diversification has been another success story. Thousands of megawatts have come online via CPEC-linked coal, wind, solar, and hydro projects. A new 1.2 GW third-generation nuclear reactor is under construction in Chashma in collaboration with China. Pakistan is also rapidly becoming a solar energy leader, with rural solarization programs and utility-scale projects accelerating. These investments are not only solving the power crisis but making green, industrial expansion possible.

Infrastructure growth is also reshaping the landscape. Pakistan Railways recorded historic revenue highs. Over 1,000 km of new highways have been approved in 2025 alone. Shipping capacity is expected to grow by 600% over the next three years due to rapid port upgrades. With the Gwadar International Airport now completed, Pakistan is primed for a new era of regional connectivity.

Pakistan’s IT sector and freelancer economy are booming. The country ranks among the top globally for freelance exports and is exploring Bitcoin mining using renewable energy. IT exports are rising, and new tech parks are being developed nationwide. Traditional exports like textiles continue to bring in billions annually, supported by GSP+ status and rising global demand.

Security — a major investor concern — is being addressed head-on. Full-scale military and intelligence operations are underway across restive areas. Anti-smuggling crackdowns, fencing of vulnerable borders, and counterterrorism initiatives have improved the ground reality, and these efforts are being institutionalized for lasting peace.

The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) is trading near all-time highs, reflecting growing investor confidence. Pakistani equities remain undervalued on a P/E basis, attracting domestic and foreign institutional investors. Macroeconomic indicators are gradually stabilizing with reforms underway in taxation, digitization, and industrial policy.

At the center of all these developments stands Gwadar. While not yet fully activated as a global hub, the completion of its port, airport, and free zone infrastructure, coupled with upcoming Chinese transit trade, is set to make Gwadar a key global trade gateway. It holds the promise of linking Central Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, turning Pakistan into a true bridge between East and West. If God wills, Gwadar can become the dream hub of the region — not just for Pakistan, but for the entire global trade network.

Pakistan now holds a golden opportunity. With vast natural resources, human capital, strategic geography, and growing international trust, the country is uniquely positioned to rise. What’s needed is visionary leadership, policy continuity, and institutional strength. If managed wisely, this decade can redefine Pakistan’s image from a crisis-prone nation to a globally respected emerging power.

GCC isnt the whole Arab league and neither is it a model for Pakistan. A people going through a genocide isnt something to dismiss as "not my problem". With that attitude nobody will care about Kashmir either.

Does we have direct threat from Israel other than spying and terrorism support?, and GCC countries are already not supporting us on Kashmir issue

Strangely, Pakistan is becoming a geo-strategic pivot for the US power projection! Minerals and hydrocarbons deals imply it's a long term game plan. Couple it with the recent gathering of the CA republics defense chiefs in Islamabad under the auspices of the CENTCOM Chief. Pakistan is in fact becoming the US's gateway to the CA......

Interestingly, the US deals of this nature usually are also coupled with the armament procurement. If so, all eyes will be set on the PAF......
