(1/5) Of CPEC & Afg: Linking stories of old silk routes & the dawn of Eurasian Century — A perspective by Dr Talat Shabbir in a session moderated by Mr Salman Javed, is in fact, a detailed snapshot of region, at the center of which, lie Silk Roads!
(2/5) "Silk Route is basically an ancient route connecting East Asia, Africa & Eastern Europe. Mr Xi Jinping's concept of rejuvenation [#BRI] is attached to #Chinese nostalgia; its culture & shared values advocacy to stay connected worldwide", says Dr @TalatShabbir3
(3/5) While reflecting on the emerging #WorldOrder, Dr @TalatShabbir3 states, "World Order — Theory of #Realism is significant, as I understand, it's a realist world — realist paradigm's chief consideration is power & unfortunately, power has no morals".
(4/5) Commenting on the difference b/w 🇺🇸 & 🇨🇳 World Order, Dr @TalatShabbir3 says, "due to BRI 70+ states & China have stakes associated with each other, unlike US — Chinese world order in that sense will be benevolent, at least 'arm-twisting' element won't be that intense..."
(5/5) Referring to Iqbal's concept of Afg as 'Heart of Asia', Dr @TalatShabbir3 states, "Afg has been the fulcrum of ancient #SilkRoad" & in context of BRI "Pak-Afg together can be the focal points of the world... It's Afg's peace that will provide access to CA".
