It’s about turbocharging the emerging Turkish-Azeri-Pak bloc by giving Islamabad access to TRIPP for facilitating trade with Turkiye and Europe in order to consolidate this bloc’s sway across Central Asia. The Armenian and Pakistani Foreign Ministers signed a joint communique on the sidelines of the SCO Summit in Tianjin establishing diplomatic ties. […]
Trump’s escalatory signals in Ukraine, the Indo-US split that he induced, and the attendant alleviation of the Sino-Indo security dilemma freed Russia up to clinch the long-negotiated Power of Siberia 2 deal.
