The future of AsiaPM Abbasi was spot on, at the Council of Heads of Governments of SCO in Sochi, that politics should be kept well away from regional economic development and connectivity projects. SCO leaders, who must have agreed with PM Abbasi’s take on politics and progress, would no doubt like new members to walk the talk in addition to making fancy statements. Already, politics between Pakistan and India has destroyed initiatives, like SAARC, aimed at enhancing trade and commerce. Meanwhile we let politics disrupt commerce inside our country as well. Perhaps the PM should try acting on his own advice and implement his vision for the region on Pakistan first.
