Mr. Geoffrey Van Orden (MEP) speaking during EFSAS Seminar in EU Parliament
07-11-2018, Brussels
Mr. Geoffrey Van Orden, Member of European Parliament (MEP), Chair of the Delegation for Relations with India and Vice-Chair of the Special Committee on Terrorism, analyzed whether the building of the multibillion economic corridor throughout Pakistan had parallels with the East India Company and argued that acquiring control of trade, inevitably translates into governmental influence, which is very well the case with CPEC. Mr. Geoffrey Van Orden further discussed the current Sino-Pak stalemate according to which, if the investments on behalf of China towards Pakistan are of such colossal magnitude and respectively the obligations of Pakistan towards China are so unbearably high, Pakistan might find itself in a situation where the only possible solution for overcoming this issue is through its transfer of power, independence and sovereignty to Beijing.
