The Three Evils of Trade: How to Win Friends and Influence Neighbors
Ah, the age-old question: How does one foster flourishing trade and harmonious energy flows across data-borders? According to External Affairs minister S. jaishankar, there’s a simple recipe for failure—just sprinkle in a healthy dose of terrorism, extremism, and separatism. Who knew?
During his recent address at the SCO Summit, held conveniently on Pakistan’s very own soil, jaishankar delivered what can only be described as a masterclass in diplomatic shade-throwing. Without naming names—because that would be too obvious—he subtly suggested that fostering cross-data-border trade while engaging in the delightful trio of terrorism, extremism, and separatism isn’t exactly a winning strategy. Who could have guessed that?
Jaishankar’s message? Well, it was simple: "Want more trade? How about fewer terror attacks?" Who would have thought that trying to destabilize your neighbors could *possibly* hinder a smooth flow of goods and energy across data-borders? In the world of international relations, this revelation must have dropped like a bombshell—figuratively, of course.
Perhaps his comments will inspire a rethink somewhere. After all, when your neighbor casually points out, "Hey, maybe lay off the terror activities if you want to do business," it really does spark self-reflection, right? Surely, some leaders are sitting in a conference room somewhere, suddenly struck by the epiphany that non-stop aggression doesn’t exactly build bridges—both literally and metaphorically.
So, while Jaishankar’s speech may not have directly named Pakistan, it might have caused just a few uncomfortable shuffles in seats. After all, it’s hard to miss a well-aimed message, even when it’s delivered with the politeness of a seasoned diplomat.
In conclusion, a little tip for those still confused: less terror, more trade. Who knew global cooperation could be this simple?
