China, Pakistan, Turkey Nexus Supports Pakistan with Satellite Aid Amid Bangladesh Involvement and India’s Mediterranean Outreach

Recent analyses under the banner of #OperationSindoor highlight a coordinated nexus involving China, Pakistan, and Turkey, which is providing multifaceted support to Pakistan amid ongoing regional tensions with India. Experts including Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Kulkarni and former diplomats emphasize that China offers comprehensive backing to Pakistan, supplying real-time satellite and communication assistance that Pakistan lacks independently. This support extends to intelligence, arsenal, and diplomatic backing. Turkey has historically maintained close ties with Pakistan and continues to bolster its position, with India responding by strengthening relations in the Mediterranean region. Additionally, concerns have been raised about an emerging alliance between Pakistan and Bangladesh, described as an 'unholy nexus,' with Pakistan's intelligence agency reportedly operating offices in Bangladesh to facilitate terrorist activities and training. Analysts warn that Pakistan may be attempting to reverse the security restructuring achieved by India in 1971 by influencing Bangladesh. Despite these developments, experts note that China prioritizes its relationship with Beijing over Islamabad and is unlikely to engage in Pakistan's nuclear domain. Indian military and security officials have reiterated their commitment to responding firmly to any terrorist activity, while acknowledging Pakistan's strategy to keep tensions below a critical threshold. The overall narrative underscores a complex geopolitical challenge for India involving regional security and the strategic maneuvers of China, Pakistan, Turkey, and Bangladesh.
