Eurasian states are landlocked countries. The sea-ports of Russia and China are not fulfilling their needs due to harsh season. Pakistan can provide these countries a link to carry out their trade through land or sea routes. Pakistan is an ideal land route for these states for trade with South Asia and Middle East. Pakistan's newly constructed Gwadar Port can play a key role. These Eurasian states can get easy access to the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean through Pakistani territory.
On the other hand Pakistan can also avail the vast natural resources of these states. Pakistan can also establish trade links with them. Thats why Pakistan is very important for these states.

Hope so these points are sufficient for you. You can gather more information on this topic.

Yes the main reason is the poor background in GK. Kindly go through the World affairs by Imtiaz shahid along with contemprory affairs by Karwaan publishers and some current affairs magazines. Ths will make you understand about the basics of all the issues plus the present situation.

I would suggest you to prepare current affairs with maps.It would be easy for you to understand the question in this way.

candidguy Tuesday, May 10, 2011 03:12 AM

For making notes I would say,
(1) Select 15 odd topics.(20 at the most)
(2) Make three heads i.e.background,current situation and future/implications for each.
(3) For every topic ask yourself these three question.and search answers through net.
(4) Copy and paste in MS Word everything got from whichever sources.
(5) Edit them.

I'll suggest you to please consult a good book on CA which is written particularly for CSS e.g. Contemporary Affairs by Imtiaz Shahaid. The book will provide you a roadmap of study and you could build on and expand that base by extra readings.

As far as the particular question is concerned regarding SCO and Pakistan status and claim of membership in SCO. You have to go through the following:

What is SCO?
Geography of SCO countries?
Geography of Pakistan?
How Pakistan is important strategically and geographically for SCO countries? Build your arguments regarding road and sea links Pakistan could provide to SCO.

Question never comes as relation after osama as pak relation with US always remain episodic. Now u need to find facts on what conditions pak relations with US RENAIN converged and where they diverged.Mark out the decades of pak us bad episode and u will realise how to tackle the question.Question will never come eloborate relations after Osama but why the relations worsoned? Now do not converge on the story of OSAMA but find fact why Osama died in this decade.wo pehly be mara tha afghanistan me to kya wja he wo ab mar ra he.US can kill osama in next decade too.

[B]Substantiation of Pakistan's bid for the membership of SCO.[/B]

(1) It's Geo-strategic location:the geo-strategic location of Pakistan provides the most convenient modern rail and road facilities to Central Asia with relatively short distances.

(2) Historical links with South and Central Asia(civilization and historical ties).

(3) Beijing is Islamabad’s most trusted ally also Malacca bypass strategy.

(4) Russia-Pakistan relations are also heading in a positive direction.

(5) The Almaty-Karachi road via Karakorum (Almaty-Bishkek-Kashgar-Karakorum-Islamabad-Karachi) is functioning.

(6) The Trans-Afghan Pipeline has been revived.

(7) Recent reports point out that Pakistan\’s overall trade with the SCO is around US $2 billion.

(8) Gawadar port.

I think contemporary affairs latest editions are very helpful as i found it in CE 2011

Group discussions with friends who have command on current affairs(km waqt bht se points clear ho jaty hain)

make your personal notes and check them by seniors
