Pakistan brings us together with the stadium for the new Arab Sea port

Advisors approached the Pakistani Military Military Man from US officials to build a port on the Arab Sea, which could give Washington a foothold in one of the most sensitive areas in the world.

The bold plan, which is seen by the Financial Times, seeks American investors who are developing the city of Basnei on the seashore as a station to reach cash minerals in Pakistan. Pasni is only 100 miles from Iran and 70 miles from the Pakistani city of Gawadr, which has a port supported by China.

The initiative, which is not an official policy, reflects how PakistanI am officials exploring ways to take advantage of the overwhelming geopolitical disorders in South Asia from recent months.

This offer was brought up with some American officials, and he was shared with Monir before a meeting with Donald Trump at the White House late last month, according to advisers to the army commander. But a senior Trump administration official said that the US President and his advisers had not discussed such a proposal.

This scheme is one of the many ideas that were publicly presented by Pakistani officials to keep momentum with the Trump administration. It includes participation with the Trump-backed encryption project, deepening cooperation against the group of militants in Afghanistan, ISIS-K, supporting the peace plan in Gaza and reaching critical minerals.

Munir and Trump have been exposed to what the United States and Pakistani diplomats refer to the name of “BROM” since the US President claimed credit in May The ceasefire that ended the worst fight Between Pakistan and India for decades.

After two decades of warming relationships with IndiaDuring the summer, the United States was exposed publicly with New Delhi. While India rejected Trump’s allegations of its involvement in the ceasefire, Munir and Prime Minister Shaybaz Sharif publicly thanked and nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize.

On the other hand, Trump raised praise for the commander of the Pakistani army. After their last meeting last month, the White House released pictures of Munir and Sharif who present the American leader with a case of metal samples.

“The full relationship (the relationship of the United States-the Pakistani) has changed after the war,” said one of the advisers, who participated in the rear channel contacts with the Trump district for more than a year.

“It was very bad before that. We did not tend to the relationship as we should be,” the counselor said. “In the last two decades, the Indians have occupied the space in the vacuum.”

The advisers said that the proposed port in Pasni will be linked to a new railway to transport the minerals from the Pakistani interior, especially copper and antimony, which is a vital component in the batteries, and the fire and missiles.

The plan expects the port will cost up to $ 1.2 billion with a proposed financing model that will be a mixture of federal development financing and supported by the United States.

The advocates of the plan see it as a way to hedge the country’s position on the world stage, as it seeks to do so A balance between the constellation of diplomatic relations With China, the United States, Iran, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which Islamabad signed a security agreement last month.

“Bassni’s proximity to Iran and Central Asia reinforce our options for trade and security.

He added, “The Chinese Guidar investments under the Belt and Roads Initiative raises the dual use concerns,” in a clear indication of concerns that Guoder can act as a Chinese naval base, a proposal denied by Islamabad and Beijing.

China traditionally is the closest partner in Pakistan, providing a lot of weapons and billions of dollars of loans and investments. Pakistan Chinese planes are used Arms systems to shoot down up to six Indian planes in May.

The plan said that the Pasni plan excluded “direct residence”, which the advisers said that the port would not be tantamount to American military installation.

America was a close ally during the Cold War, and after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 on the United States, but it connects Pakistan’s support for Taliban during the Washington -led war in Afghanistan. Now it is keen to reshape the links to re -focus on investments and trade.

“I told our leaders that we need to diversify from China,” said one of the Pakistani advisers, while maintaining a decades -old bond with Beijing. “We do not need to consult the Chinese because it is outside the concession of Jaddar.”

In an early indication of the American interest in the metal sector in Pakistan, the United States strategic company in Missouri signed in September a memorandum of understanding with the arm of military engineering in Pakistan to enhance cooperation.

Mike Holomon, commercial director of the United States University, said that the company aspires to create a refinery, and last month, two directors from the main port of Pakistan in Karachi and near it, as well as a representative from Gotar, during a visit to the country of South Asia.

Holomon added that USM recently heard about a possible port project near Pasni. The city had a natural water port and can be connected to the railway to Reko DIQ, a Copper and gold mine He said it was being developed by the Barik mining in Canada, so he made “a lot of meaning” to establish a facility in the region.

“In our talks with the field Marshal, he stressed that Pakistan was a long ally of the United States and minerals is a way to revive a sleeping friendship,” Holomon said.

At the end of last month, Pakistan shipped a modest first shipment of less than the rare and rare ground minerals to the USM that included copper, antimony and Newmium. price Antimon rose Since Beijing has imposed a ban on his sale to the United States late last year.

The Pakistani mineral sector currently contributes to about 3 percent of GDP, and many of its uncomfortable resources in Western provinces It suffers from a brutal rebellion This caused more than 2000 deaths last year.

But Hussein Abidi, head of the state -run scientific and industrial research council, said that the country has unexploited metal capabilities. “This is a reset with America through economic relations rather than just traditional security relations.”
