Musharraf wants Pakistan to be China's back passage corridor
2006-02-18
Pakistan wants to act as a trade corridor for Chinese exports to the rest of the world and is also interested in setting up an energy corridor for China, if it is technically feasible, said President Pervez Musharraf. Speaking to a group of Chinese journalists, he said China was helping Pakistan with several development projects that were integral for the country's progress. The development projects would sustain economic activity in the country, alleviate poverty, end unemployment and help fight extremism, he said. He said Pakistan would be extremely happy if the Chinese came into the country for joint ventures, trade and investment.

#3  Can't tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for US, based on the last post...

#2  He also didn't mention that he is double-crossing the Chinese over the port they have built for him at Gwadar. Though its primary use will be for Chinese goods, it is not particularly unfriendly to visits and use by the US navy.
