Original: Are the Gulf Arab States Hedging Their Bets Between India and Pakistan?
Attention is turning to how the Gulf Arab states are positioning themselves between India and Pakistan, two rivals with which they maintain significant defence, trade and labour ties. Analysts are questioning whether countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE are quietly balancing their relationships to avoid alienating either South Asian power. With deep economic dependence on both New Delhi and Islamabad, the question of where Gulf loyalties lie is drawing renewed scrutiny.
Why now: Renewed geopolitical interest in how Gulf states balance relations with nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan.
