"Minister Asif, I am very happy to see you.??.??`c?om" shook hands one by one and had a cordial conversation with these people.

At the meeting ceremony, he also made an impromptu speech. Facing the camera's camera, the Russian leader opposite was no longer such a twilight old man, no longer gave people the image of bureaucracy. This is a vigorous man, full of the unique masculinity of Russian men, as if heralding the future of Russia, and would be as full of new vitality as this person.

"I am very honored to come to Pakistan this time. Before our great alliance collapsed, Mr. Wang once came. Now, I know that my arrival has attracted the attention of readers, and even put my avatar on the front page of the newspaper." The words made the reporters below laugh. This leader is completely different from the previous polar bear leaders, and it seems to be in the Western style.

"Why did you choose to come to Pakistan? Of course, it is for the interests of our Russia and for the friendly cooperation between our two countries. The Soviet Union has collapsed and the Cold War has ended. Please don't look at us with the Cold War thinking. For us Russia, the most important thing now is to get rid of economic problems and let our traumatized people regain their confidence in the ruble. When we come to Pakistan, we are here to seek cooperation between the two sides. Only cooperation can achieve a win-win situation."

The words won applause. Compared to the United States, for its own face, even oppressed China with high tariffs. As a result, China did not surrender, but the US economy deteriorated. Now, the Russian leaders were able to give up the Cold War thinking and devote themselves to economic construction. This made all reporters very moved. Russia is no longer the original Soviet Union. It can stand on the land of the former opposing countries, negotiate cooperation with each other, and achieve a win-win situation through cooperation!

With the collapse of the Soviet Union...???`The Cold War ended, the concepts in the minds of the Russians had changed. Peace and exhibition are the main theme of the world. Contesting for hegemony is just a name. Although it sounds nice and domineering, it tastes bitter. When it comes to the United States, it is now taking the wrong path.

When it comes to kung fu, it is definitely at the level of Uncle Zhao. What is eternal between countries is interests!

When I arrived at the Presidential Palace in Islamabad, Mhamad held a banquet here to entertain guests from afar. The friendly dialogue between the two sides also kicked off at the banquet.

"President. With the joint efforts of both sides, the ice between our two countries has begun to be eliminated. We must cooperate to achieve a win-win situation. Your speech is really wonderful." Mhamad said.

"President Mhamad, in terms of economic development, we Russia still have a long way to go and have a lot of work to do." He said to Mhamad: "We Russia, due to the long-term military plan in the Soviet era, our heavy industry has been extremely high. However, the light industry is a bit backward. Now, domestic daily necessities are short of prices and rising prices. The depreciation of the ruble is almost all related to these."

Mhamad nodded. The Soviet Union has been doing this for decades, and it is indeed difficult to change now, but Pakistan has considerable advantages in this regard.

"We have a very high light industry in Pakistan," Mhamad said. "We can engage in trade and trade, and, I have another suggestion, we can cut tariffs on each other."

In addition to increasing fiscal taxes, tariffs have a greater contribution to protecting domestic enterprises. For example, in China, high tariffs on imported cars are imposed on imported cars in order to protect their automobile industry. Although they have committed to gradually liberalizing imported cars after joining the WTO, other tax collection items have been added, and the soup is not changed.?.`

This is called protection, but on the other hand, it has cultivated a large number of unsupported A Dou. In later China, those state-owned enterprises were representatives of unprofitability. Those who master advanced manufacturing and research technology were all in private enterprises. This is also the inherent disadvantage of state-owned enterprises.

Now, the advantage of reducing tariffs between the two sides is that it can reduce the price of Pakistani goods entering the Russian market. Now Russia urgently needs reform, and the people also urgently need to see the changes in life brought about after taking office. Only when the city is filled with goods and no longer has to queue up to shop, can the ruble in hand buy more things, the people will convince the government.

Hearing Mhamad's words, he nodded: "We also have this idea. If we can reach an agreement on the reduction of tariffs between the two parties, we can both enjoy real discounts. Of course, we also hope to sell our goods to your country."

It can be foreseen that when tariffs are reduced, commodities from Pakistan will occupy a large number of Russian markets and even a trend of dumping will form, and Russia will form a trade deficit. In the long run, it was not good for Russia's economy. Therefore, Russia also needs to sell its own commodities to Pakistan, and the trade between the two sides can remain equal, so that Russia's economy can enter a healthy development.

Moreover, another reason is that Russia's current rubles are not valuable. The recipients are absolutely unwilling to use rubles to settle the bill when importing goods from abroad. Russia's economy is almost collapsed now, and its domestic foreign exchange reserves, whether it is the US dollar, the British pound, etc., are pitifully few, and even gold reserves are defeated in the era. Russia wants to import a large number of light industrial products, but does not have enough currency to buy them, so it can only export goods, or even trade in barter.

"Yes, Russia also has an unparalleled advantage in heavy industry." Mhamad said: "We also need Russia's advantages in heavy industry to complement each other, especially in aerospace. We hope to conduct collaborative exhibitions with Russia and make progress together."

In terms of aerospace! Although Pakistan's aerospace technology has made great progress and has even had the ability to send satellites into low-Earth orbit, Pakistan's overall technology is still too poor. Russia, which has inherited the Soviet legacy, can only compare with it in terms of aerospace technology.

Among them, the most important one is manned space technology!

However, Mhamad's meaning is very obvious, not simply introducing Russian products, but jointly exhibiting!

What to introduce? The Soyuz spacecraft? I'm afraid Russia won't sell it either!

"Oh? I don't know how you plan to cooperate with us in the aerospace field?" asked Mhamad.

"You have complete manned space flight capabilities. We hope that you can train astronauts for us, take your Soyuz spacecraft to take off and enter the Mir orbit space station for a period of space flight." Mhamad said.

Mir Space Station! Like history, this space station is still in service. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, with Russia's economy deteriorating, Russia was simply unable to carry out more space plans. This space station is also temporarily closed and unattended.

In the space field, the Americans took the path of space shuttles, while the Soviets explored space stations. Later generations have proved that the paths Americans took were wrong. They originally planned to have a flight lifespan of thousands, but the most were less than a hundred times. They were all retired due to reliability issues. In the later International Space Station, the Americans also needed to use the Russian Soyuz spacecraft to enter space. The United States no longer had the means of manned space flight!

Pakistan now has enough economic strength to support its manned space program. This program takes a long time and requires continuous improvement in Pakistan's technology. Now, borrowing Russian equipment and training its own personnel first is a far-sighted plan.

For Russia, the training center and supporting equipment are complete. It can help Pakistan train astronauts and obtain a large amount of funds and re-activate Mir. It is also a very good choice.

"Okay, we agree." said.

"In the second project, we hope to intervene in your GLONAS global satellite navigation system, including using our technology to upgrade your navigation satellites and make these satellites live longer," continued Mhamad. "At the same time, we will also promote this navigation system to have more users."

Satellite navigation system! Now, the only one that can be put into use in the world is the US GPS system. This system has played a huge role in war. For example, the joint attack ammunition first manufactured by Pakistan using GPS modules is low in cost, high accuracy, and is not affected by the weather. At the same time, the navigation system will gradually develop in areas such as transportation and has important uses.

Now, this system is completely in the hands of Americans, which is not good for Pakistan's national defense and security. If Pakistan has any conflict with the United States, the United States will definitely be tricked on it.

Needless to say, the United States is not enough, even Europeans cannot fully trust the United States, so they came up with the Galileo Global Navigation Plan. Unfortunately, the Europeans' disputes between each other have made this seemingly advanced navigation system unable to be put into use for a long time.

At this time, China's navigation satellite system was still in the exploration stage, so Mhamad thought of cooperating with the Russians. (To be continued.)
