The strategic reiteration

Pakistan has made an earnest and tactical move by reaching out to China. At a time when the circumference of foreign relations is all about reconnecting with the US under the new administration of President Trump, Islamabad's categorical and policy-oriented stance that it is not in camp politics and sees China as a strategic partner alongside the US was squarely noticeable. President Asif Zardari's air-dash to Beijing and his rubbing of shoulders with his counterpart Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang made some new vibes, and the most appreciated of them was the unanimity of views between the two states to stand fast against terror incursions that are out to derail their time-tested relationship. The affirmation that mutual support on core issues of interest shall continue, and the enduring partnership will scale new heights of success was a win-win proposition. The visit has come in the midst of some misgivings in the media with reference to tilt towards Washington, and the spike in terror activities on Chinese engineers engaged in CPEC projects inside Pakistan. The common denominator of talks was to strengthen the multibillion dollar developmental projects, and not to be scared away from insecurity syndrome that has taken a toll. Moreover, the accord to beef up intelligence sharing and buckling up the police force with modern equipment and technology was a step in the right direction. The restive and backward province of Balochistan, a theatre of CPEC, is in dire need of buoying its local security profile and this decision will go a long way in scuttling the intrusion of disgruntled elements. The decision, likewise, to reconstruct the railway network and invest in offshore oil and gas projects has incidentally come at a time when the second phase of CPEC is underway and it needs production and timely dissemination of logistics. The reset was also intended at some messaging in realpolitik wherein the iron-clad special relationship was reiterated. With Beijing standing firm as a steadfast financier and provider of technology in the realms of industry and military, the hovering concerns for Pakistan of being left out in changing times were laid to rest.
