Influencing International Diplomacy: Changing India’s Diplomatic Discourse

In my unwavering commitment to national service, I effectively advocated, within a brief 34-day timeframe, for the exclusion of references to “Pakistan” from joint statements between India and prominent international partners, including Japan, the United States, the UK, EU, Germany, Denmark, France, and five Nordic countries.

Despite encountering written death threat, purportedly from the Indian intelligence agency RA&W, I ensured that the Indian government omitted the name “Pakistan” as an alleged exporter of terrorism, along with excluding mentions of the “Mumbai and Pathankot attacks” from crucial joint statements. Noteworthy engagements included communication via Twitter with Prime Minister Boris Johnson and EU President Ursula von der, as well as the dissemination of open letters addressed to Prime Minister Kishida Fumio of Japan and the President Joe Biden of the United States, outlining concerns.

A pivotal achievement resulting from these efforts was the removal of the term “Pakistan” from Paragraph 17 of the U.K.-India joint statement dated April 22, 2022, following Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s visit to India. This change underscores a shared commitment to combat terrorism universally, without singling out specific countries. Its significance is heightened when considering India’s substantial influence over British leaders, as noted by former British PM Gordon Brown in his extremely biased memoir, highlighting Pakistan’s perceived vulnerability and association with terrorism.

Furthermore, I successfully engaged with European leaders, including Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany, President Emmanuel Macron of France, and the leadership of five Nordic countries, persuading them to refrain from including references to Pakistan, Mumbai, or Pathankot in subsequent joint statements with India.

These historic diplomatic successes are a testament to my proactive approach, involving the authorship of open letters to world leaders. These letters aim to expose India’s alleged false allegations against Pakistan while shedding light on human rights violations and acts of genocide in Kashmir and India against Muslim minorities. For detailed information and links to the open letters, please refer below.

1. Japan
   If we note that on March 19, 2022 the India-Japan joint communique literally named and shamed Pakistan at Para # 8 as below:
   India-Japan Summit Joint Statement Partnership for a Peaceful, Stable and Prosperous Post-COVID World March 19, 2022
   Para # 8.
   The Prime Ministers expressed deep concern at the growing threat of terrorism and underlined the need for strengthening international cooperation to combat terrorism in a comprehensive and sustained manner. They called upon all countries to work together for rooting out terrorist safe havens and infrastructure, disrupting terrorist networks and their financing channels, and halting cross-border movement of terrorists. In this context, they also called upon all countries to ensure that territory under their control is not used to launch terror attacks, to expeditiously bring to justice the perpetrators of such attacks. They reiterated their condemnation of terrorist attacks in India, including 26/11 Mumbai and Pathankot attacks and called upon Pakistan to take resolute and irreversible action against terrorist networks operating out of its territory and comply fully with international commitments including to FATF. They also concurred to strengthen counter-terrorism efforts in multilateral fora, and to work together on early adoption of the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism (CCIT) in the United Nations.

   Now, if, we go through the Joint Statement dated 8 September 2022 of Second Japan-India 2+2 Foreign and Defense Ministerial Meeting held in Tokyo, there was no mention of Pakistan as can be seen at the link given below:
   Joint Statement dated 8 September 2022 of Second Japan-India 2+2 Foreign and Defense Ministerial Meeting held in Tokyo.

   Here, it will not be out of place to mention that the above mentioned major tangible change in the Japanese foreign policy towards Pakistan was by the Sheer Mercy of Allah (SWT) achieved after the following letter dated 20 March 2022 was directly forwarded to the Japanese Prime Minister and other officials of their foreign office:

   Link: – https://www.snayyar.com/how-japanese-prime-minister-was-befooled-by-india-who-must-now-apologise-with-pakistan.html
2. USA
   Joint Statement on the Fourth India-U.S. 2+2 Ministerial Dialogue April 12, 2022 (name of Pakistan is mentioned).
   Counterterrorism and Counter Narcotics
   The Ministers welcomed the convening of the 18th Meeting of the India-U.S. Joint Working Group on Counter Terrorism and the 4th Session of the India-U.S. Designations Dialogue in October 2021. The Ministers strongly condemned any use of terrorist proxies and cross-border terrorism in all its forms and called for the perpetrators of the 26/11 Mumbai attack, and Pathankot attack, to be brought to justice.
   They called for concerted action against all terrorist groups, including groups proscribed by the UNSC 1267 Sanctions Committee, such as al-Qa’ida, ISIS/Daesh, Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT), and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), and Hizb ul Mujahideen. The Ministers called on Pakistan to take immediate, sustained, and irreversible action to ensure that no territory under its control is used for terrorist attacks. The Ministers committed to continued exchange of information about sanctions and designations against terror groups and individuals, countering violent radicalism, use of the Internet for terrorist purposes, and cross-border movement of terrorists. The Ministers also emphasized the importance of upholding international standards on anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism by all countries, consistent with FATF recommendations.
   Link: – https://www.mea.gov.in/bilateral-documents.htm?dtl/35184/Joint+Statement+on+the+Fourth+IndiaUS+22+Ministerial+Dialogue

In this regard, I immediately wrote another hard-hitting open letter to the US President and forwarded to other US government functionaries, the very next day (on 13 April 2022) proving with international and Indian documents and facts about all the Indian acts of terrorism and its role in sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan, as below:

An Open Letter to the President of the United States dated 13 April 2022.
Link: – https://www.snayyar.com/an-open-letter-to-the-president-of-the-united-states.html

Here, again by the Sheer Mercy of Allah (SWT) the name of Pakistan was removed in the Quad Joint Leaders’ Statement of MAY 24, 2022
Link: – https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/05/24/quad-joint-leaders-statement/
(where first time in the history of the USA, it specifically changed its foreign policy towards Pakistan) and although, Mumbai and Pathankot incidents were mentioned, but the name of PAKISTAN (which is a HUGE defeat of Indian foreign policy) is omitted as was clearly mentioned in the 12 April 2022 communique detailed above, where the name of Pakistan is clearly mentioned, which was the cardinal proof of the impact of my open letter dated 13 April 2022 to President of the USA.

The relevant paragraph of the QUAD Joint Leaders Statement dated 24 May 2022 (link provided above) is provided below where it was evident that the name of Pakistan was removed.

“We condemn unequivocally terrorism and violent extremism in all its forms and manifestations and reiterate that there can be no justification for acts of terror on any grounds whatsoever. We denounce the use of terrorist proxies and emphasize the importance of denying any logistical, financial or military support to terrorist groups which could be used to launch or plan terror attacks, including cross-border attacks. We reiterate our condemnation of terrorist attacks, including 26/11 Mumbai and Pathankot attacks. We also reaffirm UNSC Resolution 2593 (2021), which demands that Afghan territory must never again be used to threaten or attack any country or to shelter or train terrorists, or to plan or finance terrorist attacks. We emphasize the importance of upholding international standards on anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism by all countries, consistent with FATF recommendations. We reaffirm that in our fight against global terrorism, we will take concerted action against all terrorist groups, including those individuals and entities designated pursuant to the UNSC Resolution 1267(1999).”

3. U.K.
   I relentlessly continued to serve the motherland and ensured that the Indian government was not allowed to mention the name of PAKISTAN, as a country exporting terrorism, from the below reproduced Para 17 of the U.K.-India joint statement dated 22 April 2022, issued after the conclusion of PM Boris Jhonson’ visit to India in April 2022. In fact, I Tweeted to the British PM even before his start of visit to India, my open letters to PM Japan (dated 20 March 2022) and to the President of the USA (dated 13 April 2022) which proved successful and the joint UK-India statement dated 22 April 22 did not mention Pakistan by name anywhere in the 40 paragraphs statement as detailed below.
   40 Paragraphs UK-India Joint Statement 22 April 2022.

Link: – https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prime-minister-boris-johnsons-visit-to-india-april-2022-uk-india-joint-statements/uk-india-joint-statement-april-2022-towards-shared-security-and-prosperity-through-national-resilience
By the sheer mercy of Allah (SWT) Pakistan’s name was specifically omitted from the Para # 17 of the UK-India joint statement dated 22 April 2022 as below:
“Both leaders expressed zero tolerance for terrorism in all its forms – and for all those who encourage, support and finance terrorism or provide sanctuary to terrorists and terror groups – whatever their motivation may be. They called upon all countries to work together to root out terrorist safe havens and infrastructure, disrupt terrorist networks and their financing channels, and halt cross-border movement of terrorists. They reiterated their condemnation of terrorist attacks in India and the UK, including the Mumbai and Pathankot attacks. They emphasised the importance of perpetrators of terrorist attacks being systematically and expeditiously brought to justice, and agreed to work together to take concerted action against globally proscribed terrorist entities and individuals.”

4. EU
   India – EU meeting in New Delhi between PM Modi and President Ursula von der dated 25 April 2022.
   India – EU meeting in New Delhi was held between Indian PM Modi and President Ursula von der dated 25 April 2022. She was also Twitted my above open letters to the PM Japan and the President of the USA to inform her in advance not to mention Pakistan, Mumbai or Pathankot on the behest of India.
   The April 2022 India – EU Bilateral Brief is absolutely devoid of any references to Pakistan,5. Mumbai and Pathankot attacks as is evident from the Link provided below, which is another testimony of the success of my humble efforts:
   Link:https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://mea.gov.in/Portal/ForeignRelation/India-EU_Bilateral_Brief_as_on_April_2022.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjouueh0LuEAxXI8gIHHb7wDyAQFnoECBcQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2_L2YqmB8AuWZluJ-L3TZT
5. Germany, Denmark and France
   Before the Indian PM Modi embarked upon his visit to the above named three countries and a joint meeting from Denmark with five Nordic countries (Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Finland and Iceland) letters were written by me to all these seven leaders exposing Indian genocidal acts against Muslim minorities, which India always tried to hide by falsely maligning and defaming Pakistan with untenable charges of terrorism in India.
   Link:- An Open letter to seven European and Nordic countries heads of governments to stop genocide of Muslims in India | Loud Thinking (snayyar.com)
   The stupendous success of my above letters can be gauged by the fact that none of the above named seven countries mentioned Pakistan in any manner. So much so, that France which has extremely close defense sales and diplomatic relations with India also refrained to take the Indians false bait regarding Pakistan, which is evident from the given links provided below of all the Indian joint statements with Germany, France, Denmark and five Nordic countries joint summit:
   India – Germany
   Link:- https://india.diplo.de/blob/2524926/191fdc2d770102c12d4063c504e1ef9b/igc-joint-statement-2022-data.pdf

   India – Denmark
   https://www.mea.gov.in/bilateral-documents.htm?dtl/35261/IndiaDenmark_Joint_Statement_during_the_Visit_of_Prime_Minister_to_Denmark

Through my direct engagement in the aforementioned international diplomatic campaign with world leaders, my objective was to expose and counter India’s endeavors to divert attention from its war crimes and genocide in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJ&K) and inhuman treatment of Muslim minorities in India. This persistent endeavor underscores the influential role of individual advocacy in shaping diplomatic narratives and fostering a more accurate representation of geopolitical realities.

Subject: Congratulations on your Insightful Article and Reflections on Pakistan’s Future

Dear Suhail Warraich Sahab,

اسلام وعلیکم

I trust this message finds you well. I am writing to extend my heartfelt congratulations on the publication of your outstanding article today in the daily ‘Jang’ titled ‘We the Prisoners of the Throne of Politics’. Your insightful reflections on Pakistan’s current state of affairs are both timely and profound.

Your assertion regarding the critical juncture in Pakistan’s history resonates deeply. Indeed, our nation can ill afford further internal divisions and political turmoil. Now more than ever, it is imperative that we unite in the spirit of tolerance and coexistence for the collective survival and progress of our beloved country.

It is incumbent upon all stakeholders in the Pakistani state to acknowledge a fundamental truth: the pervasive bankruptcy experienced by the entire non-elite populace of Pakistan. The plight of the poor, lower-middle, and middle-class citizens, who have been deprived even of their basic sustenance, underscores the urgent need for a paradigm shift in governance.

The failures of past governance models underscore the necessity for a new approach. Rather than entrusting our fate to traditional political structures, I suggest a government comprised of fearless and selfless Pakistani experts. Such a government, untethered to foreign influences, holds the promise of steering Pakistan towards a more equitable and prosperous future.

In embracing this vision, we must remain guided by the timeless words: “Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen and ask yourself if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him.” Our actions must be driven by a steadfast commitment to uplifting the marginalized and vulnerable segments of society.

As we chart our course forward, let us heed the lessons of history, mindful of the consequences of inaction. The disintegration of the Soviet Union serves as a stark reminder of the perils of complacency and division.

In closing, I commend you for your unwavering dedication to fostering dialogue and progress within our nation. May your courageous insights continue to inspire positive change and unity among us.

Best Regards,

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad

No nation achieves greatness without aligning its citizens towards a common vision. Unfortunately, Pakistan currently faces a stark reality: societal fragmentation stands at its peak. Among the contributing factors, one of the most crucial is the absence of clearly defined, short- and long-term national goals. This lack of direction leaves the nation adrift, yearning for a leader who can bridge divides and chart a course forward.
Pakistan needs a leader who embodies strength, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to the nation’s well-being. This individual must possess the ability to rally the people around a shared vision, fostering unity and purpose.
Firstly, this leader must assemble a team of exceptional talent, drawing upon the finest global professionals across diverse backgrounds. Merit, not identity, should guide these selections, ensuring a team united by competence and dedication.
Secondly, the leader must be a strategist, capable of attracting foreign investment, cultivating a skilled workforce, and nurturing a competitive business environment. This requires clear-sighted policies and effective diplomacy.
Equally critical is the leader’s commitment to social cohesion. Fostering harmony between diverse ethnicities and cultures is fundamental to national unity. Additionally, maintaining law and order is crucial for creating a stable and prosperous society.
Finally, the leader must navigate the complex world of international relations with deftness. This requires safeguarding Pakistan’s national interests through a balanced approach. Building strong relationships with regional and global partners, while pursuing strategic alliances, will enhance Pakistan’s reputation on the global stage.
Only through a shared vision, led by a capable and unifying leader, can Pakistan overcome its current challenges and navigate towards a brighter future.
In this connection, given below are the outlines of key national objectives and proposals to achieve these objectives through rule-based governance with meritocratic appointments cutting across party lines.

Objectives:

1. Fifty Years Planning:
   As a top most priority, government of Pakistan must immediately embark upon a 50 years national economic and development plan divided into 10 five years plans. This job can be assigned to a task force for completion in shortest possible time with the help of AI tools to be headed by Dr. Ashfaque Hasan Khan from NUST, who is a renowned professional in this field.
2. Reform Taxation System:
   Broaden the tax base to include more individuals and businesses. According to Dr. Ikram ul Haq, Pakistan which is a country of 241 million inhabitants, has an extremely narrow tax base; currently at 10 million individuals, out of which 5 million are tax return filers and only 3 million actually pay any tax. He further says that Pakistan’s total potential of tax revenue is PKR 20 trillion which is extremely surprising if compared with the fact that our total budget outlay of FY 23-24 is PKR 14.5 trillion and tax revenue collection target is PKR 9.5 trillion. This also reveals that our budget can be totally free of any new taxes.
    Simplify tax codes and reduce rates to incentivize compliance
    Implement 100% automation to minimize human intervention and corruption
3. Provide Cheap and Speedy Justice:
    Improve judicial infrastructure and increase judge capacity
    Simplify judicial procedures and leverage technology for efficiency
    Enhance police professionalism and accountability to reduce unnecessary litigation
4. Eliminate Street Crime and Terrorism:
    Strengthen police forces with training, technology, and competitive salaries
    Address root causes through poverty alleviation, education, and deradicalization programs
    Ensure swift, transparent, and fair justice through judicial reforms
   Street crimes and terrorism can never be eliminated by the sole efforts of the security apparatus. The entire population needs to be involved in this process by education, guidance and extremely lucrative incentives. Moreover, these crimes are also related to alarmingly increased drugs use in all the segments and strata of our society, for which a comprehensive proposal was submitted vide an article titled ‘How to transform – The most heroin addicted country?’ Link: –
   https://www.snayyar.com/how-to-transform-pakistan-the-most-heroin-addicted-country.html
5. Ensure Ruthless Transparency:
    Strengthen anti-corruption institutions and empower them to act independently
    Implement mandatory asset declarations for public officials
    Increase public access to government information through open data initiatives
6. Empower Local Governance:
    Grant maximum possible autonomy and resources to division-level units
    Encourage local-level planning and decision-making through citizen participation
    Improve service delivery in critical areas like healthcare, education, and sanitation
7. Improve Education Quality:
   Currently private school expenses have crossed all limits and become unbearably back breaking financial burden for the entire middle and lower middle-class citizens. As such, there is a most urgent and pressing need for improvement of public schools’ standards. Few suggestions are as below:
    Increase public investment in government schools and attract qualified teachers
    Introduce curriculum reforms aligned with 21st-century skills and needs
    Utilize technology for enhanced learning and accessibility
8. Revive Pak-Iran Gas Pipeline and Explore New Options:
    Expedite on top priority, the Pak-Iran gas pipeline project for affordable energy
    Explore undersea gas and petroleum pipelines from the Gulf region
    Promote renewable energy sources for long-term sustainability
9. Promote Paradoxical Agriculture:
   Promote PQNK (to be pronounced as picnic) stands for Paedar Qudratti Nizam Kashatqari, which means sustainable natural farming system (Paradoxical Agriculture):
   According to Asif Sharif (father of modern PA/PQNK Process) by adopting PA process Pakistan can generate a surplus of $ 20 billion exportable agricultural produce, whereas, currently we are importing around $ 10 billion food products, which means a net savings of $ 30 billion to the national exchequer. Moreover, PA process also saves 80% precious water resources and brings huge savings in the farmers input costs of all types of chemicals and seed needs.
    Provide farmers with training and resources to adopt water-efficient PA/PQNK techniques
    Introduce various incentives for shifting to Paradoxical farming process
    Provide incentives to farmers for purchase of PA/PQNK machines
10. Prioritize Export Processing Zones:
    The secret of Pakistan’s fast track industrial growth lies in the rapid operationalization of maximum possible Export Processing Zones on war footings. In this regard, the following is suggested:
     Streamline procedures and eliminate bureaucratic hurdles for investors
     Offer competitive tax breaks and infrastructure development in designated zones
     Facilitate ease of doing business to attract foreign investment and boost exports
11. Ban Export of Unprocessed Minerals:
    Pakistan is lucky to have a geologist Dr. Imran Ahmad Khan who has rare experience of geological survey in Pakistan, India, Spain, China and the USA. He says that our mineral resources are worth about $ 51 trillion, which is almost equal to the combined GDP of USA, China and Japan. In this regard, few suggestions are as below:
     Impose a complete ban (via a parliamentary legislation) on exporting unprocessed minerals
     Invest in local mineral processing industries to add value and create jobs
     Develop a clear policy framework for sustainable mining practices
     Immediately establish a Rare Earth Metal Authority of Pakistan, as all 17 REM’S are non-radio active.
12. Merge SUPARCO and PAF’s National Aerospace Science and Technology Park (NASTP) for speedy catching up with the progress of the regional countries and achieving the following objectives:
     Consolidate resources and expertise in space, AI, and robotics research
     Establish a national focus on technological advancements in these critical fields
     Accelerate Pakistan’s participation in the regional and global technology race
13. Revamp Higher Education System:
     Task HEC with modernizing university curricula and teaching methods
     Promote with policies and incentives the specific research in areas relevant to national development and global challenges
     Encourage collaboration between universities and industry for skills development
14. Eliminate Fake Medicines and Substandard Food Products:
     Establish a robust regulatory framework and strengthen enforcement mechanisms with death penalty for adulteration in food products and manufacturing and selling of substandard and fake medicines
     Invest in food and drugs safety testing labs and adopt strict quality control measures
     Encourage public awareness campaigns about counterfeit products and their dangers
15. Implement Strict Environmental Regulations:
     Enforce existing environmental laws and introduce stricter regulations where needed
     Invest in renewable energy and promote sustainable practices across industries
     Hold polluters accountable through harsh fines and other strict penalties
16. Information Technology:
    The world’s tech giants, like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Oracle, SAP, and Apple, are constantly seeking new frontiers for innovation and talent. Pakistan presents a compelling opportunity for these companies to establish Global Service Delivery Centers (GSDCs), offering a win-win scenario for both businesses and the nation. In this regard, a task force may be formed to accomplish this task in the minimum possible time, which may be headed by Muhammad Ziaullah Khan Chishti, a world-renowned Pakistani-American investor and business executive who founded Afiniti and TRG Global. He is also a famous inventor at world level on around 150 issued patents by 2018.
17. Fast Track Rejuvenation of CPEC:
    Pakistan’s overall industrial revival hinges upon the immediate rejuvenation of CPEC, which is an amazing vehicle and once in a life time golden opportunity for the coming generations. As such, extremely important task force needs to be formed and handed over to the most competent professional with a world view and international acclaim. In this regard, Ambassador (R) Syed Hasan Javed may be considered for appointment as chairman CPEC. He is the only living longest serving diplomat in China where he served for 10 years on two diplomatic assignments. He is also a world acclaimed writer of 10 books. His latest book titled ‘How China Became Rich’ – From Poverty to Prosperity (An Eyewitness Perspective) is a must read for every person in a leadership role in Pakistan. He served as Pakistan’s ambassador in Germany, Singapore and Mauritius. He has also worked as a diplomat in Zimbabwe, Tajikistan and Belgium. While in service, He was trained in higher educational institutions in Belgium, Geneva, Paris, Newport and Hawaii. He speaks fluent Chinese, Persian and has studied a number of other languages including Russian, German, French, and Arabic etc. He is author of several books on China. His books have been translated in Urdu and Chinese languages. He has served for six years as Director, Chinese Studies Centre of Excellence, National University of Science and Technology (NUST) Islamabad. He is the first Paksitani to be awarded ‘National Special Book Award Prize-2021’ by China.
    It is earnestly expected that by implementing these recommendations and prioritizing the outlined national objectives, Pakistan can realistically achieve significant progress towards becoming a secure, prosperous, and progressive nation within the next decade.
    The people of Pakistan have placed their trust in our national leaders. This trust comes with the expectation, not an obligation, that they choose to lead with courage, vision, integrity, and unwavering commitment to building a brighter future for all. Remember, the journey towards a brighter Pakistan requires the collaborative efforts of our leaders and citizens alike. Let us all embrace this opportunity with renewed dedication and optimism.
