Dear Readers, A continent is commonly understood to be a massive landmass that is surrounded by oceans or seas, so it becomes obvious that Africa, Australia and Antarctica are, for the most part, separate and distinct continents. But nothing separates Europe from Asia to make them two distinct continents as there is, say, between Eurasia and Africa, or between North and South America. Eurasia is therefore Europe plus Asia having 93 independent countries, including Pakistan, with nearly half of the world's 196 independent countries, Eurasia is truly a supercontinent. Pakistan is generally perceived by most western nations to be a backwards country of terrorism and poverty, this is a myth that carries little factual weight as it purposely neglects the country's rising geopolitical importance in Eurasia. Far from being a lost cause, Pakistan is actually one of the Eurasian continent's most important economic hopes, as it has the potential to connect the massive economies of the Eurasian Union, Iran, SAARC and China, thereby inaugurating the closest thing to an integrated pan-Eurasian economic zone. With rapprochement between Russia and China steadily growing, Russia also recognizes Pakistan's prime geopolitical potential and has maneuvered to rapidly increase its full-spectrum relations with Pakistan. Pakistan is well placed to take advantage of this developing situation and take its place as a nation that will matter in Eurasia. For the benefit of readers I am reproducing my article titled 'THE EURASIAN CONCEPT".
