Pak New Govt Emphasizes Peaceful Coexistence With India, But Seeks Resolution of Kashmir Issue

Pakistan’s new government stated on the country’s National Day that peaceful coexistence founded on equality and mutual respect serves as the guiding principles of its foreign policy. This principle, according to Islamabad, also underpins its desire for a peaceful relationship with India.

However, Pakistan also emphasized that peace and stability in the region can only be achieved through a peaceful settlement of all outstanding issues, including the “core” issue of Jammu and Kashmir. The Kashmir region is a territory claimed by both India and Pakistan and has been a source of tension between the two countries for decades.

It is yet to be seen how this new emphasis on peaceful coexistence will translate into concrete actions on the part of the Pakistani government. India has long accused Pakistan of supporting terrorism in Kashmir, and tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations have remained high in recent years.

Whether Pakistan’s new government can usher in a new era of peace and cooperation in the region remains to be seen. However, its stated commitment to peaceful coexistence is a welcome development.

What a delusional person. They keep claiming that they want to help the people of POK but the people themselves hate Pakistan rule over them and would now prefer India instead. They should have known better when they supported Pakistan rule over them during the partition.

India should launch a military strike and retake POK and it’s possible if it’s planned and executed very well that we can win with low casualties.

trade happens using dollars, so how good pakistani rupee is doing is irrelevant to us.

UAE Dirhams, not USD, as most of the trade is currently routed through Dubai.

Previously the trade used to happen in many ways: USD, local currencies and even barter.

All said and done, why do we need to trade with Pakistan? The last episode where Pakistan suddenly decided to cut trade, it left many Indian truckers stranded in Pakistan and the Pakistani officials were playing hardball to release them back to India.

Let them suffer now. Also, any money they save will irrevocably be ploughed back into anti-India activities only. So they are not even worth any consideration.

Yeah, now trade is happening in dirhams,, but that still means value of PKR rupee not important for us, but very important for pakistan.

Trade with pakistan used to make less than 2% of India's trade. It will mainly help punjab, but not have much of an impact on rest of india.
