Pakistan Army realizes military-ties with India is way to peace

The Pakistani military leadership led by Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa is reaching out to India because it has realized that the way to peace and prosperity is through military cooperation with New Delhi, a Pakistani analyst said in a British think-tank commentary. The powerful army has ruled Pakistan for much of its life since it gained independence 70 years ago. Here's more.

Quote
Pakistan invited Indian Military attache to Pakistan Day military parade

"In a historic first, last month, Pakistan's Army Chief of Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa invited Sanjay Vishwasrao, the Indian military attache, and his team to Pakistan Day military parade in Islamabad," wrote Kamal Alam, a visiting fellow at UK-based Royal Unites Services Institute.

Military drills
Two countries will take part in joint military drills

In a sign that the strained ties between the two neighbors are warming up, General Bajwa followed the invitation two weeks later by saying that the Pakistan military wanted peace and dialogue with India, Alam said in his report released last week. The two countries will also take part in joint military drills in Russia in September, with Chinese participation.

Quote
Initiatives come against the backdrop of fire exchanges

"These initiatives come against a background of almost weekly exchanges of fire along the Line of Control. However, they mark a change in attitudes that started when Bajwa became COAS in November 2016," the report said.

Confidence
Pakistan Army feels confident and no more insecure, says Bajwa

During a visit to the UK last year, General Bajwa addressed a gathering at RUSI and announced, "Pakistan army is now no more insecure and feels confident of its future and that he welcomes Indian participation in Pakistan's flagship infrastructure project, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)." The report notes that both India and Pakistan tried to forge relationships before as well.

Previous meetings
Rajiv Gandhi and Zia-ul Haq came close in 1980

In the 1980s, Gen Zia-ul Haq, and then Indian PM Rajiv Gandhi became close. Then, Pakistani military leader Gen Pervez Musharraf and PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee also came close at a 2002 summit in Agra to resolving Kashmir conflict. "Approaches by Pakistani Generals have been welcomed by some in India because they are seen to be able to deliver on peace," the report said.

Western border
Military operation in FATA brought security, stability on western border

According to the report, the military operations in FATA have brought security and stability on the western border, encouraging the Pakistan Army to approach India with the understanding that it will help Pakistan's upward economic trajectory and allow regional trade flourish. "However, India has so far rejected Pakistan's offer of a transit trade dialogue on Afghan Indian commerce," the report added.
