Why Pakistan was ignored ?... India and China invited by President.Obama to attend the Annual G-8 Summit 2009 at Italy?

Fleshy bones thrown in the direction of India in the United States. In the recent events and developments in the relations between them, clearly confirms that the U.S. is appeasing India.


Generous and the extreme importance of United States extends to India, and over its strongest ally of Pakistan in the war against terror. For example, the civilian nuclear agreement, the invitation to India and China to participate in the exclusive G-8 Summit 2009 (ignoring Pakistan) held this month in Italy, the United States distancing from the Kashmir issue, describing it as a bilateral issue between India and Pakistan, not least the planned upcoming visit of Mrs. Hillary Clinton, U.S. Secretary of State in order to strengthen bilateral relations, describing India as a major developing countries in the world.

However, the fact that I do not understand this policy of inviting China together with India, President. Obama, while ignoring Pakistan. In addition, it makes me whether the war on terror is not a priority at G-8 members?. He has not been listed on the agenda of the 2009 Summit of the G-!

I have attached below a letter to the editor published in the daily newspaper Dawn in Pakistan, the provincial Minister of Culture and Tourism of Sindh, to express its concern at the fact that I told above about the G-8 Summit 2009.

/ / G-8 summit ignores Pakistan

Each year, three-day summit of the Group of Eight leading industrialized countries was held recently in the area devastated by an earthquake less than 100 days ago. President Barrack Obama has invited colleagues from China, India, Brazil, South Africa, Mexico and other countries to it.

G-8 Summit is a great challenge to world leaders to address economic issues, the fight against hunger in the world and solve the problem of climate change, after last year's global financial crisis.

G-8 talks traditionally unite eight major countries: Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States. At the same time, the recent summit was expanded to include emerging powers such as China and India. In the talks also focused on the emerging political crisis in China's Xinjiang region, Iran and Honduras.

We know that the G-8 countries have suffered severe economic decline following the credit crisis in the United States, which quickly dragged world in its worst recession since the early 1930-ies. While I agree that climate change is an important issue as well and had to decide what can be said about the endless war on terror and war, as the situation that our country faces in the various fields. As a result of the turbulent situation, Pakistan is facing serious economic problems, but he was not even invited to the summit to discuss these.

Recently I read an article co-authored with Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France, and Luix Inla da Silva, President of Brazil, published in The New York Times. In this article, they talked about various global problems, but there is no mention of "terrorism", which allows you to wonder how they forgot to mention it as it is the most serious threats and challenges.

Then I came to learn about the G-8 on the agenda of the Summit, and I was very disappointed to learn that there is no mention of Pakistan in any place. I think, and I am sure that other people will agree with me that "terror" should have been at the summit agenda.

Many believe that the response of the U.S. administration against terrorism was a general in line with the concept of its own national interests, national prestige and power, and international positions.

Today, the Pakistani people to ask about their security and national interests. We do not want them to think that they are used as tissue paper, and nobody cares about the dignity, welfare and safety.

Our people believe that nothing can justify the continued drone attacks. But if the G-8 countries have no justification, then Pakistan should be included in the agenda of the summit.

There is a growing feeling among the defenders, who, despite the current global challenges and threats created by terrorists, human rights for all people, especially the poor and the weak must be protected.

Needless to say that terrorism as a tool of destabilization, both within and between nations, has become the biggest threat that must be properly as soon as possible.

I would like to stress that the G-8 and other First World countries should understand that Pakistan has lost a lot in this "war on terror." Our people, especially leaders like Benazir Bhutto, have made so many victims in this fight. I firmly believe that Pakistan should be a priority when planning for such international summits in the future.

The issue of Pakistan, ignoring rising not only because the agenda didn't include in the war on terror, but also that Pakistan is as important country in South Asia, probably longer because front-line ally in the war against terror, but also a nuclear state, such as two other new invitees.It is a known fact that Pakistan and India have traditionally been, and not on good relations, and keeping the hosts inview should be realized that by offering one another can not send a message or not Vibes on one ignored.The confidence deficit could be even damaged.Thus in fairness, if India was invited to it, Pakistan should have!
