Former interi
or minister and Chairman Institute of Research and Reforms (IRR) Senator Rehman Malik has suggested the formation of bloc of China, Pakistan, and Afghanistan to bring stabilisation in Afghanistan, boost the economy via trilateral trade, and ensure regional peace. He said
that this idea might not be liked by the West but these three c
ountries may like to bring RCD c
ountries on board in this bloc.
In a statement here on Sunday, he said
that Pakistan has a great geographical location and has been assisting its neighbors and other friendly c
ountries and contributing towards regional peace. He said
that the Afghan war brought misery, not only to itself but devastations to Pakistan and left long-lasting effects on our society and growth.
Rehman Malik said, “I wish
that Pakistan, Afghanistan, and China may create a bond of tri-brotherly ties and start working in an era of a new bond of friendship as they stand interconnected with natural land routes and the natural bond of mountains.”
He said
that instability in Afghanistan is affecting Pakistan and Afghanistan adversely and needs to be rectified for the sake of prosperity of this region. He said, “I feel
that there is room to create a powerful torque and potential for working together in the peace
process of Afghanistan.”
The former interi
or minister said
that Pakistan, Afghanistan, and China have the huge potential to work in various fields of common interest and emerge as very strong political and economic forces with their God-gifted natural resources.
He said
that the Afghan conflict has been used by the west as a tool to keep this part of the world under pressure and to destabilise the region. He urged
that this destabilization is affecting Pakistan and Afghanistan adversely and needs to be rectified for the sake of the stability and prosperity of this region.
He said
that he feels
that there is room to create a powerful torque and potential for working together in the peace
process of Afghanistan. Pakistan, Afghanistan, and China have the huge potential to work in various fields of common interest and emerge as very strong political and economic forces with their God-gifted natural resources, he added.
Rehman Malik suggested
that three c
ountries may sign a tripartite MoU to work together and they all have potential in mineral, agriculture, and other fields of mutual benefit and have a natural alliance and connectivity in the form of roads and other links. He said
that CPEC can bring a great revolution in the development of Afghanistan as China and Pakistan together can play a role in reconstructing Afghanistan.
He expressed
that in a trilateral agreement, the three c
ountries can have this new opportunity to work together in
the interest of this region which will ultimately end the ever-continued foreign interference in Afghanistan.
He said
that the three c
ountries must sign a MoU to spread a railway line from Beijing to Afghanistan via Pakistan and these three great nations can have a quantitative economic, business, and cultural bond in the larger interest of Afghanistan and co-signatories.
The former interi
or minister said
that he firmly believes
that the troika of China, Pakistan, and Afghanistan will not only ensure stability, progress, and development but will also eliminate terrorists and the misuse of Afghan soil by India.
