A week before one news in 'The Hindu' newspaper have came. That was China is extending its China Pakistan economic corridor (CPEC) till Afghanistan.
And yesterday that is on 25th May 2023 one news had came that is Saudi Arabia and China boycotted G20 meeting which was held in Jammu and Kashmir.
So what's the connection in these two news!
Let's go deep into this news
China have extended China Pakistan economic corridor till Afghanistan this purely indicates that China has great interest in middle East
But why?
1.China is top oil customer of Saudi Arabia and Iran.
2.In 2015 China became biggest oil importer of Saudi Arabia.
3.Also to connect Europe with Asia and South Asia middle East plays very crucial role.
2.In 2015 China became biggest oil importer of Saudi Arabia.
3.Also to connect Europe with Asia and South Asia middle East plays very crucial role.
Due to this China is much more interested in building strong relation with middle eastern countries specially Saudi Arabia and Iran.
Relation of Saudi Arabia with India is bit important. India imports 18-20% of it's crude oil from Saudi also Saudi is India's top 4th trade partner.
Getting on next news.
Saudi Arabia and China boycotted meeting held in Jammu and Kashmir.
Everybody knows that Jammu and Kashmir is disputed area of India- Pakistan and China is in large favour of Pakistan due to its China-
Pakistan economic corridor (CPEC)
So it's okay to hear that the meeting was boycotted by China.
But what about Saudi Arabia?
Due to this decision took by Saudi Arabia will our relation with Saudi Arabia go wrong in future.
There is no clear answer to this question, but at this point my perspective says that No!
Saudi Arabia is not gonna lose interest of India as well as of China.
India and China both this countries are very much important for Saudi Arabia.
By boycotting this meeting means Saudi Arabia staying neutral on the issue regarding the Jammu and Kashmir.
This says that Saudi Arabia did not want to lose interest of India because India is also investing money in building infrastructure in middle eastern countries.
And if somehow Saudi loses interest of India India is not gonna affect because we have our greatest friend Russia to export its oil to us.
