Comments on: ‘Maltese businessman Shiv Shankaran Nair” – described by The Diplomat magazine as “China’s secret weapon” https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2013/09/maltese-businessman-shiv-shankaran-nair-described-by-the-diplomat-magazine-as-chinas-secret-weapon/ Daphne Caruana Galizia is a journalist working in Malta.

What is Nair’s relationship to Patricia Hills, London Executive Assistant to Edward de Bono, who is registered at the same address at 135b, Holland Park Avenue, whilst her husband Richard Hills is listed with “Shiv Shankor” at 135a, Holland Park Avenue?

Is it normal that there are so many versions to his name?

How many facets are there to Pradeep Prenyan Shivshankar Nair? and to his deals?

What happens to those who get in the way?

Is the Malta connection pure coincidence?

Well, you just did.

Isn’t it interesting how, now that Malta Today has real scandal worth investigating, it doesn’t know what to do with it?

We know why they won’t investigate John Dalli, but Shiv Nair?

He’s keeping that appointment rather quiet, isn’t he? There’s no mention of it on his Linkedin profile, where he’s listed as a special advisor to the government of Vanuatu. How does he square that with his role at Malta Enterprise? Or is Muscat’s government comfortable with their special employee serving several masters at once?

Shankaran Nair, a reclusive Maltese millionaire and deal maker, who has thrived on front ending transactions for Chinese State Companies in Africa.

Nair who counts The Barzanis, who run Kurdistan almost as a personal fiefdom, as his personal friends , has been shuttling between Kurdistan, Beijing and Ankara on behalf of his Chinese client, trying to persuade the Kurds to allow a 100 % Chinese takeover of their biggest field. – See more at: http://www.stockopedia.co.uk/content/vallares-and-chinese-in-a-noholds-barred-fight-in-kurdistan-59805/#sthash.GkbLodN8.dpuf

He has a Maltese ID card (40711A), but his nationality is listed as British.

His ID card carries the ‘A’ for alien.
