3 countries to back Pakistan in case of war with India, they are…, only THIS country to support New Delhi; it is…
Islamabad: Pakistan has claimed that three countries have supported Islamabad amidst tensions with India. After China and Turkey, Azerbaijan has also announced its support for Pakistan. After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, there are fears that India and Pakistan could go to war. While Iran and Saudi Arabia have talked to the leaders of both countries to reduce tensions, reports concerning China and Turkey suggest that they have provided Pakistan with lethal weapons. In addition to supplying weapons to Islamabad, China announced on Sunday that it will support Pakistan in “protecting its sovereignty and security interests.”
The Chinese foreign ministry has stated that “this conflict is not in the fundamental interests of India and Pakistan, nor is it conducive to regional peace and stability. It is hoped that both sides will exercise restraint, work together, and help to calm the situation.” Meanwhile, Pakistani journalists have claimed that Azerbaijan has also announced its support for Pakistan.
China, Turkey, and Azerbaijan have always stood by Pakistan, so it is not surprising that these three countries have come together to support Islamabad. Under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), China has invested billions of dollars in Pakistan and fears that in the event of war, India may attack the ports built by China. India has also sent one of its aircraft carriers to the Arabian Sea, which could pose a threat to the Gwadar port. In addition, China has also supplied Pakistan with PL-15 missiles in emergency situations. Meanwhile, Pakistan has claimed that Turkey has delivered six aircraft to Pakistan, five of which landed in Islamabad and one in Karachi.
Turkey also sells weapons to Pakistan. Pakistan has purchased MILGEM-class warships from Turkey. On the Kashmir issue, Turkey has openly supported Pakistan.
Azerbaijan received open support from Turkey during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, while Pakistan also continues to support Azerbaijan. Military cooperation between Pakistan and Azerbaijan has also increased in recent days. Both countries are strengthening their ties through arms deals as well as military exercises.
According to Indian security expert Sushant Sareen, India’s friends and enemies have identified themselves and has named China, Turkey, and Azerbaijan to be on Pakistan’s side. He expressed pessimism over the stance taken by the USA, the European Union, the UK, and India’s long-time friend and ally Russia. However, he has expressed hope that at least Israel will support India.
