As the Russian relations with Bharat fray, the situation arising in South Asia is the opposite of what existed during the Cold War. Pakistan was a US ally and Bharat a Soviet client state. Today US Pakistani relations are at a nadir, and they are not improving. Russia and Pakistan have both decided to build their own links. A reset of relations will be paying dividends to both countries.
Moscow also supported Pakistan’s quest to join the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). The SCO set up a mechanism to allow new members to join the organization. Iran was turned down, and Bharat cannot join becuase of the Chinese veto. The Pakistani Prime Minister and President recently visited the Central Asian Republics (CARs). All supported Pakistan’s desire to join the SCO and make the ECO more potent. There has been discussion of building road and rail links from Fergana, and Dushambe to Gwader and Karachi. President Zardari offered Moscow access to the “Southern Seas”. 13.05.2011 8:42 Chief of General Staff of Armed Forces of Russian Federation Nikolay Makarov pays visit to Minsk. http://www.tvr.by/eng/society.asp?id=48053 Yesterday First Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia delivered a lecture at a military academy and told about results of the reforms of the Russian Army.
