Introductiontechnologies in order to meet their energy needs down the road. Thepresentations prompting Khan’s optimism, and the essays in this volume,indicate that there already exists widespread agreement on at least thebroad outlines of an energy strategy for Pakistan. Pakistanis know whatneeds to be done.But solemn promises and soaring rhetoric will not get the job done.Preparing for Pakistan’s energy needs over the next quarter century willrequire long-term vision, a national commitment widely shared amongthe country’s political and business leaders, inspired leadership sustainedfrom one government to the next, and most of all, political will tomake and carry out difficult choices. Pakistan—the country, not justthe government of the day—needs to decide that muddling through isnot enough. Pakistan, as a country, has to decide that it must get seriousabout creating an energy strategy, and then—and this is the hardpart—about implementing it.Pakistan will not find itself alone in this task. Islamabad’s friendsaround the world believe that it is in their own national interests forPakistan to succeed—which means, among other things, that Pakistansucceed in its quest for energy security. At the end of the day, Pakistanisthemselves must solve the problem of energy insecurity, but the outsideworld—both the private and the public sectors—can and will help.Speaking at the Wilson Center conference, the U.S. Department ofState’s Paul Simons noted that Pakistan’s rising energy demand has creatednew opportunities for regional cooperation in South and CentralAsia. Seeking to promote this objective, the U.S. Trade and DevelopmentAgency convened a meeting in Istanbul in June 2006 that explored optionsfor exporting Central Asian electricity to Pakistan. Senior officialsin the State Department have also spoken enthusiastically aboutbuilding new energy corridors that would link Pakistan with its CentralAsian neighbors. Less happily, not all departments and agencies withinthe Bush administration have embraced the president’s promise to workwith Pakistan on energy issues, and the administration as a whole hasbeen slow in following up on the pledges Bush made in Islamabad duringhis March 2006 visit. President Bush would do well to remind hisCabinet that working with Pakistan on its energy needs is not a questionof American largesse, but a matter that is very much in Washington’sown interests.| 15 |
Robert M. HathawayEnergy matters for Pakistan. If Pakistan is to flourish…if it is to succeedin its ambitious plans for economic development…if it is to raisethe grossly inadequate living standards of its people…if it is to achievethe economic growth necessary to ensure political stability…if it is tocreate democratic institutions and practices capable of providing goodgovernment and reflecting the will of the people…if it is to establish theconditions for long-term financial solvency…if it is to begin to addressthe many environmental problems that up to now have been largelyignored, and which have a hugely adverse impact on the daily lives ofPakistani citizens…if it is to live in peace with its neighbors, several ofwhom are directly impacted by Pakistani decision making in the energysector…if Pakistan is to move toward all these goals, it must successfullyaddress the many challenges it faces in the field of energy.* * * *As has been the case with the two previous volumes produced underthe auspices of the Wilson Center’s Pakistan program, this compilationreflects the hard work and unselfish dedication of numerous friends andcolleagues. The authors whose essays appear here deserve commendationfor their seriousness of purpose, their patience, and their good-humoredand (almost always) prompt responses to the stream of emails thatpoured forth from our computers. To my coeditors and esteemed AsiaProgram staff, Bhumika Muchhala and Michael Kugelman, I give specialthanks for their professionalism, their attention to detail, and theirperseverance. Amy Thernstrom, Aisha U-Kiu, and Grace Kim providedexcellent editorial and editing assistance. Without the generosity of theFellowship Fund for Pakistan and its benefactors, neither this volume northe Wilson Center’s Pakistan program would be possible. And finally,a heartfelt thank you to Munawar Noorani, Zaffar Khan, and AyeshaHaq, who have given that most precious of gifts—their own time.Notes1.
