[00:10:22] signing off, take care.
[00:10:57] Assalam alaikum and welcome to perspective tonight we begin with the landmark development
[00:11:01] and national security when
[00:11:03] we look at the uh regional security and cooperation
[00:11:07] as Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey take their strategic
[00:11:10] partnership to new level. We talk about of
[00:11:14] course the Macca summit for joint defense, the three countries
[00:11:17] signing the Macca joint defense agreement reaffirming their commitment to
[00:11:21] collective security, deterence and peace and stability. "the
[00:11:25] agreement establishes a significant new framework of cooperation,
[00:11:29] including the principle that an armed attacked against anyone
[00:11:33] will mean an attack against all three. will be exploring
[00:11:37] what this defense agreement actually does and the
[00:11:40] way that it brings together three important
[00:11:44] regional powers like perhaps never before. of course we're looking
[00:11:48] a long standing historical, political and
[00:11:50] strategic ties of course developing.
[00:11:55] and reaching a new level, what this will mean for the region
[00:11:58] itself, for its deterents capabilities, its
[00:12:02] enhancement of of course defense capabilities when we
[00:12:06] look at all three countries coming together in this way
[00:12:09] before. we'll be talking about that in particular, and of course Pakistan
[00:12:13] and Saudi Arabia in particular, the opportunity that now
[00:12:16] extends beyond traditional and political
[00:12:20] corporations. both countries are working to transform the
[00:12:23] decades old. strategic relationship relationship into
[00:12:27] a long-term economic and of
[00:12:30] course we are looking at defense
[00:12:34] enhancement capabilities. we have with us
[00:12:38] today Dr. Jamil M, also Dr.
[00:12:42] Wakar Ahmed joining us, Dr. Jamil Ahmed former ambassador and Dr.
[00:12:45] Wakar Ahmed who is economist for this segment. We
[00:12:49] also have with us Emray Diner who is a journalist and foreign
[00:12:53] policy expert for this.
[00:12:57] um, Dr. Wakar, when we look at what this
[00:13:00] alliance means in particular for all three
[00:13:03] countries, and the way that of course it keeps in mind not just
[00:13:07] defense, but also economic realities that envelop
[00:13:11] the region at this time, and the way that it looks at the three
[00:13:14] countries coming together to sort of sustain this
[00:13:18] relationship and bring it to new level. How do you look at it first of
[00:13:22] all? Thank you very much. "I
[00:13:26] think it's a huge development, not just for Pakistan
[00:13:30] and three countries involved, but brings us
[00:13:33] closer as region to the kind of
[00:13:36] stability that region has been trying to
[00:13:39] seek a defense and strategic
[00:13:43] level, but also if I may say the kind of turmoil
[00:13:46] that the economies in the region are witnessing
[00:13:50] since recent past, I believe such an
[00:13:54] alliance..." would not only intertwine the markets in the
[00:13:58] region, but bring that much needed stability as
[00:14:01] well. when we look at the way that it is going to be
[00:14:04] perceived in terms of sustaining
[00:14:08] economies and of course in particular of course Pakistan's economy and
[00:14:12] how it looks to sort of give it that kind of
[00:14:15] cover, you insulated. of course we're looking a lot happening around
[00:14:19] the world which is having its own effects on economies. do you think the think that that is
[00:14:23] also significant? you think it's going to give it that kind of insolation,
[00:14:27] perhaps? Absolutely. I think
[00:14:31] the economic sentiment, rather the
[00:14:34] favorable sentiment that this creates for the
[00:14:37] economy, needs to be cashed now, and I
[00:14:41] think Pakistan has been working very hard towards this, and
[00:14:45] this is now the time that momentum needs to be
[00:14:48] created so that this trilateral partnership is
[00:14:52] not limited to strategic. objectives only, but
[00:14:56] also lends economic gains as well, and I think from
[00:15:00] Pakistan's point of view, three things should really happen
[00:15:03] quickly. One is to now
[00:15:06] institutionalize today's arrangement into into what
[00:15:10] I call economic follow through, so while defense
[00:15:14] pact creates political trust, but trust alone doesn't
[00:15:18] move goods or capital, dedicated trilateral
[00:15:21] economic coordination mechanism, needs to be
[00:15:25] put in place, it can be modeled on
[00:15:29] the lines that SIFC has been suggesting in the past as
[00:15:33] well for countries in the region, second that has to
[00:15:37] happen. is to de-risk the investment corridors,
[00:15:40] so the defense framework can provide the political
[00:15:43] umbrella for protected investment corridors, government to
[00:15:47] government capital flows into ring fenced sectors like
[00:15:51] infrastructure, mining, energy transition and
[00:15:54] logistics, if I may say, and sovereign capital from Gulf
[00:15:58] and Turkia can be challenged through this
[00:16:01] vehicle. My final point on this question would be
[00:16:05] that we can also use the defense.
[00:16:07] interoperability to build industrial
[00:16:10] complementarity, so join defense production, for
[00:16:14] example, turkish drones in Pakistan is one
[00:16:17] example, all all of this can create supply chain
[00:16:21] linkages that can be expanded into civilian
[00:16:24] manufacturing, automotive and technology
[00:16:27] sectors. Dr. Wak, we've spoken
[00:16:31] about investment from time to time, when we look at
[00:16:34] this, this new turn. of how
[00:16:38] this alliance is shaped and what it envisages, do you think it's also
[00:16:42] going to bring in investment opportunities under its
[00:16:45] umbrella? i think the
[00:16:49] invest the potential of investment is
[00:16:53] huge, and really the biggest question would
[00:16:56] be how fast we can move towards
[00:16:59] it. the three countries have been talking each other
[00:17:03] bilaterally, however still they haven't reached the...
[00:17:07] potential trade and investment estimates
[00:17:11] that are out there, current trade is far below
[00:17:15] potential, i can tell you about Pakistan and
[00:17:18] Turkia, the bilateral trade stood at around
[00:17:21] 1.2 billion last year, but both
[00:17:25] countries have placed a target of five billion dollars, so we are really far from that
[00:17:29] target, even in case
[00:17:33] of Saudi Arabia and Turkey
[00:17:37] the... trade currently is around 9 billion dollars,
[00:17:40] whereas the potential estimates suggest that there is a potential of
[00:17:44] 30 billion dollars between the two economies, so so the
[00:17:48] way forward really is trilateral value
[00:17:52] chains move beyond the bilateral trade to joint
[00:17:55] production, joint trade and investment value chains, pakistan can
[00:17:59] supply intermediate goods to turkey for higher
[00:18:03] value added processing and re-export to Saudi Arabia and
[00:18:07] Gulf. markets, we can leverage the geographic
[00:18:10] complementarity, so Saudi capital plus Turkish
[00:18:13] technology plus Pakistani labor and market access and
[00:18:17] given the Pakistan's large population, fifth
[00:18:20] largest consumer market in the world, I think we are very
[00:18:24] strategically located in this trilateral
[00:18:28] setting. What about technology transfer in particular, I know
[00:18:32] you mentioned a little bit, but there's there's a lot of room
[00:18:36] for that kind of potential. collaboration under, what is
[00:18:40] being envisaged, isn't that
[00:18:41] correct? absolutely,
[00:18:45] so so so I believe all three
[00:18:48] countries get to gain if technology
[00:18:51] transfer remains a considered part of
[00:18:55] this pact, not just a defense level, but later if you
[00:18:59] translate this into a sepa, what we call comprehensive
[00:19:02] economic partnership agreement, and the three countries
[00:19:06] can neg. iate with each other the kind of techn
[00:19:10] technological comparative advantages they want in case of
[00:19:13] defense joint ventures, R&D and
[00:19:17] leveraging even the engineering talent pool that the three
[00:19:21] countries have, and there is a
[00:19:24] massive defense industrial base with both Pakistan and
[00:19:28] Turkey which can act as an economic
[00:19:31] multiplier. When we look at the perception of
[00:19:35] things, I know that they are important. from economic
[00:19:39] perspective also,
[00:19:41] you know, and of course the way that we are looking at the markets reacting to what is happening
[00:19:45] at this time the conflicts around the world, how do you
[00:19:48] perceive reaction or the kind of
[00:19:51] reaction to to this this agreement and
[00:19:55] you know the way that
[00:19:56] it is structured, the way that
[00:19:57] it is designed to move forward between the three
[00:20:00] countries? yes, so
[00:20:04] my own considered opinion is that this wasn't is
[00:20:07] surprise for the region, the three countries
[00:20:11] involved had been
[00:20:13] working - tirelessly towards
[00:20:17] this since past so many days, there had
[00:20:20] been meetings both bilaterally as well as
[00:20:24] of course in the background, so this shouldn't come
[00:20:28] as a surprise that as if
[00:20:32] countries who are not part of this
[00:20:35] alliance should see as if "this defense pact
[00:20:39] is against them or against somebody else's
[00:20:43] stability or role or position in the region. Having
[00:20:46] said this, your question is very well positioned. "there
[00:20:50] will be response, which of
[00:20:54] course we will have to look into, response
[00:20:57] as in of course at intellectual level, you have already
[00:21:01] seen some blog posts which are seeing
[00:21:04] this as anti some the countries in the region,
[00:21:08] at least I don't see that given that there had been talks
[00:21:12] about such an agreement for the past two
[00:21:15] months, as far as I'm concerned,
[00:21:18] but but the way that
[00:21:19] it is" to be perceived in terms of strengthening
[00:21:23] um Pakistan, it's its ties, it's
[00:21:26] perception, the way that
[00:21:28] it is being, like I said, perceived around the world, in terms of
[00:21:31] becoming stronger as far as the region is concerned,
[00:21:35] you know, we've seen steps by steps
[00:21:38] Pakistanceding to a stronger position, this is
[00:21:41] also position to sort of reaffirm that, isn't that
[00:21:45] correct? Oh, absolutely, I think
[00:21:49] Pakistan is... well positioned, not just
[00:21:52] as a peace broker, as as a provider of stability
[00:21:56] in the region, and this particular pact
[00:22:00] reaffirms the role as well as the
[00:22:04] capability of Pakistan and the
[00:22:07] kind of stabilizer quotient that it can
[00:22:10] provide to the region. I believe that countries which are
[00:22:14] not part of this pact really should focus and
[00:22:18] see this compared. advantage of Pakistan
[00:22:22] which can only be strengthened or the
[00:22:26] region can benefit from it if more countries
[00:22:30] become part of such arrangement which has been spare
[00:22:33] headed by Pakistan. Do you envisage
[00:22:37] that you think that that more countries may follow
[00:22:40] suit? Well, I think that for the
[00:22:43] Arabs, this is an opportunity,
[00:22:47] given the kind of...
[00:22:50] instability that their economies,
[00:22:54] various economic sectors, their workforce, given
[00:22:58] the kind of instability that they are facing, I think it will be
[00:23:02] very sane to consider becoming part of this very
[00:23:06] strong alliance. Dr. Vakar, coming back
[00:23:09] to the domestic front, do you think that this can also
[00:23:13] open doors for us,
[00:23:15] you know, in terms of employment, in terms
[00:23:17] of exports for example. and also
[00:23:21] economic growth we spoke about a little bit, but
[00:23:24] particularly employment, which remains a
[00:23:27] concern for for economies like ours of
[00:23:29] course. I think from the employment
[00:23:33] perspective, it is hartening
[00:23:36] to see that Pakistan already is doing government to
[00:23:40] government as well as B2B, business to business
[00:23:44] arrangements with both these economies, Saudi Arabia and
[00:23:47] Turkey and four stand out
[00:23:51] where Saudi companies and Turkey
[00:23:54] companies are active, as we know that these
[00:23:58] sectors include energy and petrochemicals, mining and
[00:24:02] minerals, defense manufacturing and infrastructure
[00:24:06] and logistics, all four these sectors
[00:24:09] really bring
[00:24:11] up lot of opportunity for Pakistan's
[00:24:14] youth, which is not only trained in these sectors, we have
[00:24:18] large university. pool which helps
[00:24:22] us to graduate the youth in these sectors, so this
[00:24:26] this is this is an opportunity going forward for
[00:24:30] Pakistan. Right, thank you so much for being with us, thank you for your very
[00:24:34] valuable input, Dr. Wakar, thank you for to move to Dr.
[00:24:37] Jamil Khan, who is the former ambassador now joining
[00:24:41] us. Dr. Jamil, when we look at Pakistan's
[00:24:44] particularly longstanding security concerns, how
[00:24:48] important are regional? partnerships with countries of
[00:24:52] course of the like of Turkey and Saudi
[00:24:55] Arabia in overall sort of
[00:24:59] you insulating us and giving us the kind of
[00:25:03] national security, the kind of perhaps
[00:25:07] boost one can say, of course Pakistan is also ranked as you
[00:25:11] know among those economies that
[00:25:15] among those countries that have some the best deterrance capabilities
[00:25:19] also in... terms of that collaboration, how do you look at
[00:25:22] it? well, it's a win-win game for
[00:25:25] the regional countries as well as these three countries who have gone
[00:25:29] into this very unique alliance, in fact there are very few
[00:25:33] countries in this world who
[00:25:37] would have trilateral alliance like this nature,
[00:25:40] trilateral alliances are there and they are there for the
[00:25:44] last several decades, but at the same time such as the
[00:25:48] New Zealand, Australia, and US or
[00:25:52] Japan, US, or for
[00:25:55] that matter, the other countries, there are few more
[00:25:59] examples of that nature and basically
[00:26:03] those alliances do not have
[00:26:06] such robust
[00:26:09] mutual defense
[00:26:12] strategic agreement which is almost you
[00:26:16] know like article five the
[00:26:19] NATO component like I was mentioning that
[00:26:23] US, Japan and South Korea, that is another trilateral
[00:26:27] agreement and they are by far with
[00:26:30] similar kind of a spread, but again in that
[00:26:34] they have to really have the the
[00:26:37] constitutional review before going into
[00:26:41] those mutual defense, but in this very
[00:26:45] agreement, it is embedded as a natural
[00:26:48] feature that attack on one country would be taken as
[00:26:52] attack on all, so yes that's one feature and
[00:26:56] secondly yes regional alliance is going
[00:26:58] to to benefit the entire region, in fact the more st
[00:27:02] in this region, the
[00:27:04] more benefits, the mutual
[00:27:08] benefits to this, not only this region and beyond, because
[00:27:11] imagine if one the examples if i one of
[00:27:15] going to interject, i understand you,
[00:27:20] one of course you were just saying example, the examples, but in terms of particularly the
[00:27:23] region, you know the perception at this time,
[00:27:27] i want to know your thoughts particularly on the fact how it's going to be
[00:27:31] perceived because it's means
[00:27:33] you know Pakistan in that sense going from strength to
[00:27:36] strength, correct me if I'm wrong, because we are looking at you know of course
[00:27:40] our diplomatic efforts, our relationships with countries where we
[00:27:43] are you know spear heading so many other uh important
[00:27:47] efforts around the world if I can say that, do you think this also
[00:27:51] underscores Pakistan's sort of you
[00:27:55] know standing as as as it's being looked
[00:27:59] at and how it's going to be perceived in the world.
[00:28:03] Well it's the same Pakistan, it's the same Pakistan Army and it's
[00:28:07] the same members the Pakistan Army, it's the same
[00:28:11] cabinet, but then after Mark
[00:28:14] everything attaind a very high trajectory, it started
[00:28:18] attaining
[00:28:19] a very high trajectory, and because of that
[00:28:22] trajectory, because what
[00:28:25] happened Mark, we had field marshall, we had
[00:28:28] a commander and chief who could lead the force.
[00:28:32] 'who could give the vision to the force or who could provide umbrella
[00:28:36] the leadership which could really lead to or which had led
[00:28:40] to that kind of success and since that
[00:28:44] success ever since we attained that success
[00:28:47] against much bigger force
[00:28:51] against some much bigger country, the world
[00:28:54] started bringing us in spotlight, the world
[00:28:58] is started considering us that yes we are the'.
[00:29:02] force to be reckoned with and from there we attain better
[00:29:06] trajectory and h with the traditional
[00:29:08] diplomacy and the military diplomacy both
[00:29:12] combined together the way we navigated ourselves from
[00:29:16] that time onward with the same military and with the
[00:29:19] same apparatus we were able to
[00:29:23] raise our profile much
[00:29:27] higher and it went from strength to strength as you
[00:29:30] saying so obviously that had attracted that had
[00:29:33] attracted not only the entire world, not only the United States, not
[00:29:37] only Iran, but all the countries around the world,
[00:29:41] they have now realized that Pakistan in this region
[00:29:45] is not only the stabilizer, but now it has become a
[00:29:49] net security provider and that's why it has been
[00:29:51] included
[00:29:55] or it has now become part of this
[00:29:58] trilateral defense
[00:30:01] agreement. and then this
[00:30:03] agreement is very unique as I was saying and it comes
[00:30:07] under the chapter eight the United Nations charter where it
[00:30:11] is allowed that the regional alliance alliance can be made
[00:30:15] and within that United Nations charter it has been made
[00:30:19] about the skepticism about any other country I guess it's a win
[00:30:23] win game all these countries particularly the gulf
[00:30:26] countries the Saudi Arabia in particular
[00:30:30] Turkey even Pakistan. Pakistan is a unique
[00:30:34] feature of its military and the traditional
[00:30:37] diplomacy where Pakistan is
[00:30:41] accepted by all incendry, particularly United States, we
[00:30:45] have a good relation with United States and equally good relation with
[00:30:48] China, likewise Turkey has very good
[00:30:52] relation, of course is member the NATO and very important member
[00:30:56] the nato second biggest force in terms of
