A New Era: Pakistan-Russia Ties in SCO Meeting

The Prime Minister of Pakistan has proposed a barter system to improve trade ties with Russia to enhance trade with Russia, which addresses challenges posed by international sanctions and restrictions within the context of traditional financial transactions. This was a cordial discussion between Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) meeting in Astana.

Promoting food security and trade

At the meeting, President Putin stated that Russia can engage in helping food security. This is very important for both countries because each country plans to use its agricultural power so that one country helps the other by importing food from this other country through other countries. The Prime Minister stressed the necessity of solving banking problems, which had prevented the free flow of money between the two states. By solving such issues, Pakistan and Russia desire to create a foundation for improved trading habits.

Barter System: A Pragmatic Solution

One advantage of the proposed barter system is that it will help to eliminate existing financial barriers. In essence, Pakistan and Russia can also go on doing business without the need for conventional financial institutions by simply exchanging goods and services. Moreover, the model helps in reducing risks related to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as well as supporting various items that are transferable since they are either in excess or have high demand.

Expanding regional cooperation

Apart from strengthening bilateral relations with Russia, the Head of State also offered Tajikistan the opportunity to use Karachi port for transit trade, improving regional trade connections and giving Central Asian states without their coastline access to the Arabian Sea, thus promoting trade and regional integration.
