Pakistan News: Field Marshal Asim Munir, called the Salesman General of Pakistan, has once again come into the limelight. According to the report, Munir has now made a new offer to America. American investors have also got a chance to build a new port on the Arabian Sea. The question is whether this step is a trick against China or an attempt to sell Pakistan’s sinking economy?
According to a Financial Times report, Pakistan has offered the US to build and develop a new port at the Pasni port in Balochistan. This is the same area that is just 70 miles from the China -backed Gwadar port and about 100 miles from the Iranian border. At such a time, this deal is considered a new step not only in economic, but also in geopolitical chess.
Golden proposal given to Trump
According to the report, the proposal was made by Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif during a meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House in September. In that meeting, Sharif invited American companies to invest in agriculture, technology, mining and energy sectors. After that conversation, Munir’s advisors handed over the proposal of the Pasni port project to the US authorities.
No military base, just benefits.
According to the FT report, the proposal clearly states that the US will not be allowed to build a military base at this port. Instead, the plan is to prepare the project under the development finance so that a rail network can be connected to the port, which will go to the mineral-rich area of western Pakistan. That is, Munir’s strategy is clear that China should be kept aside and a new route of mineral bargaining with America should be opened.
Gwadar of China, now America’s pass?
China has already developed a Gwadar port on the Arabian Sea as its strategic stronghold, but now Pakistan is preparing to show Beijing by giving this port to the US. This step may change the direction of the China-Pakistan economic corridor. According to experts, this proposal reflects the two-way policy of Islamabad. On the one hand, he wants to take loan from China and on the other side, is now joining hands with Washington as well.
