It looks like an axis of Iran - Pakistan - China is emerging.

Iran, Pakistan 'one another’s strategic depth'

 

[SixFoot]

One country believes they were founded by an alien (China's yellow emperor), another thinks they suffered a nuclear attack by aliens 10,000+ years ago (Pakistan's Mohenjo Daro), and the other thinks their prophet rode around on a flying donkey (Iran's Muhammad).

The jokes are gonna write themselves.

China bringing Pakistan, Iran closer

ISLAMABAD - China is playing a key role in bringing Pakistan and Iran closer in the interest of peace and security in the region, sources said yesterday.

The sources privy to the efforts said Tehran had requested Beijing to play the role of a bridge in bringing Pakistan closer to Iran.

They said the last week’s visit of National Security Adviser General (r) Naseer Khan Janjua to Tehran set a very clear direction for the promotion of bilateral relations between Pakistan and Iran.

The national security adviser’s visit to Iran was in response to the invitation of the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Shamkhani, the sources said, adding Beijing did play an important role in bringing the two neighbours closer.

Lt-Gen (r) Janjua, according to the sources, had very fruitful meetings with his Iranian counterpart as well as the interior minister and discussed a number of issues relating to the security.

A joint statement issued after their meetings suggests that both Tehran and Islamabad have resolved to evolve an institutional mechanism, including establishment of a joint commission to oversee border security.

Both the sides emphasised the need for unity of the Muslim Ummah and called for early resolution of differences between them. They also welcomed the recent reciprocal visits by political, economic and military officials.

The two sides discussed the issues of mutual interest ranging from bilateral relations to fighting against terrorism and establishment of peace and security in the region. Both the countries discussed counter-terrorism efforts for establishment of peace and security in the region.

Earlier, I had some doubt about you hitting hashish. But now that doubt has dissipated.

Has China joined Iran in Syria to neutralize US influence in the Middle East?

China has last week announced that it is stepping up its involvement with the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad, providing the government forces with more training and humanitarian aid. This move, once again, seems designed to step on American toes.

The Chinese have long been a supplier of weapons to Assad, and the two countries have generally had friendly relations going back to the Cold War. In reality, this new development is not a qualitative shift in their relations. But what is new is that top Chinese military officers, such as Rear Admiral Guan Youfei, in charge of the office for international military cooperation for China, are now visiting Damascus and making public statements about these friendly relations.

This is new because China has generally good relations with both sides of the Shiite-Sunni divide in the Middle East. And they need those relations too, because of their voracious need for oil which cannot be satisfied entirely by either side. That is why China does ample trade with both Iran and Saudi Arabia, and is a key client for both.

So far, the Chinese have been the only member the UN Permanent Security Council to stay out of the Syrian conflict, mostly out of a desire not to alienate any of their all-important oil suppliers. But it looks like their calculation has shifted.

‘Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline must be top priority’

ISLAMABAD: Economist and former finance minister Dr Hafiz Pasha believes that Iran-Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline project is the most viable and feasible energy project for Pakistan and needs to be completed at the earliest.

In an Interview with IRNA, Dr Pasha said that the gas pipeline project should be the top priority in Iran-Pakistan relations.

“This project has to be revived at the earliest, because it is most viable and feasible project for Pakistan,” he noted.

Mr Pasha said that as compared to other energy projects including Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI), CASA-1000 and Qatar LNG, the IP gas pipeline is the most suitable project.

“Price of the IP is very attractive and it should be the first priority for Pakistan,” he stressed.

Expressing his views Mr Pasha said that Pakistan should also try to sign bilateral trade agreement with Iran with special focus on the exports of rice and textile products from Iran and import of oil products and other things from Iran. “So far we don’t have any such agreement with Iran,” he noted.
