Pakistan finds oil that may ‘change its destiny’ - CNBC TV18

Pakistan has discovered substantial oil and gas reserves offshore, which could transform its economy. However, the nation’s current economic instability, coupled with the high costs of exploration, poses significant challenges to realising the full potential of these resources.

A significant deposit of petroleum and natural gas has been discovered in Pakistan's territorial waters, with estimates suggesting it could be the fourth-largest oil and gas reserve globally.

"However, until the reserves are properly analysed and exploration begins, Arif warned that much of the current excitement remains speculative."

LOL. Haven't heard this news before during Imrand Khan time I believe?

Just go through the news about this topic in the last 10 years. They have been saying the same for a long time. Before this they were touting they have $1 Trillion worth mineral resources in Balochistan. Nothing new here.

They dont know if its a gas or oil reserve. They claim it is the 4th largest while also saying they dont know the quantity. A "friendly " country helped in research and they need 5 billion dollars. Why does this look like a ponzi scheme?

Though JeM did not release date of speech & location where it was delivered, an Indian intelligence official said it was likely held late last month at Bahawalpur in Pakistan.

Pakistan creating ‘crisis atmospherics’?​

Azhar’s speech was just days after a closed-door India-Pakistan conference hosted by the prestigious International Institute of Strategic Studies in Muscat last month to discuss diplomatic engagement between the two countries.

The meeting, highly-placed diplomatic sources said, was attended by representatives of the foreign ministries of the two countries, representatives of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress, as well as observers from the US Department of State and China.

“A new government is about to take power in the United States, and Islamabad could be trying to draw it into a country that has been largely ignored for the last four years, by creating crisis atmospherics,” a senior Indian intelligence officer told ThePrint.


Little progress was made in the discussions, the sources said, with India’s representatives saying the Modi government saw little hope of resuming serious dialogue at a time when Pakistan is mired in internal power struggles.

The Indian representatives also made clear the government would be unlikely to consider concessions Pakistan has been seeking on Kashmir, like the restoration of constitutional special status to the Union Territory.

Prominent participants in the meeting included MEA Joint Secretary J.P.Singh, his Pakistani counterpart Mehmood Nizami, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Ram Madhav, Congress MP Manish Tewari, and Pakistan People’s Party vice-president Sherry Rehman.

@RajaMuneeb is saying ISI is geering up for upcoming chaos sponsered by US. He has correctly predicted 22 nov protest for Imran Khan long before.

For those interested in Fauji Foundation's sprawling business empire & the reason they're not about to let go the levers of power any time soon this is the program for you .

Paxtan remains one of the few countries whose military is actively engaged in business. The others in our neighborhood are the Tatmadaw in Myanmar which in many ways is a mirror to Paxtan , both - the state & country & Indonesia which escaped that fate but only barely.

Most of the recently elected Presidents have had a military background. In fact China was among the countries whose military was deep into business but was forced by the CCP to give it up. Whether they've totally succeeded is a matter of conjecture.

Ayesha Siddiqua has excellent credentials to speak on this subject as she is the author of Military Inc on MilBus or Military Business of Paxtan Army a widely acclaimed best seller for which she was hounded out of Paxtan by the establishment.

You can see why this is a case of riding the tiger or that of a parasite leeching off the host to the point where the more the host weakens the stronger the parasite gets until finally if the parasite isn't eliminated it leads to the ultimate conundrum or paradox which is the death of the host & the parasite along with it.

That in a nutshell is how parasitism ends .
