But Russia has refused to sell arms to Pakistan. Could be due to bad credit rating.

Russia is still afraid of Pakistan because of Afghanistan war. Pakistan can offer them some aid to prop up their falling economy.

@Prakash, India and Russia are not good friends now because Russia joined CPEC which means they are supporting Pakistan and China. USA also wants India to leave Russia and buy stuff from them (USA). Russia is also going to join the new bloc of Pakistan,China and other Muslim countries. CPEC will benefit Russia a lot because it will be cheaper for Russia to export stuff through CPEC.

Pakistan by approaching all countries for talks and getting back a polite comment in return is playing it up in the media as though strategic agreements has been reached. We are not fools not to see this.
