Pakistan has transitioned from being neglected to an indispensable entity, particularly for the USA in the West and China in the East, due to its geopolitical significance. Especially the context of regional stability and global security has made it a crucial player in international relations. Pakistan’s unique position at the crossroads of South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East, coupled with its large population and economic potential, underscores its importance. Western nations recognize Pakistan’s role in combating terrorism, promoting regional stability, and addressing global challenges, making it an essential partner in navigating complex geopolitical landscapes.
India, once seen as a key role player, has lost its significance due to false narrative building, lies, and propaganda against Pakistan. The world has seen Pakistan’s capacity and capability in 4-day standoff with India despite the limited resources. This is a God-given opportunity for Pakistan to stand firmly and negotiate for the national Interests.
Conclusion:
- Pakistan’s position at the crossroads of South Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East makes it a
crucial player in regional dynamics.
- Pakistan’s large population and economic potential make it an attractive partner for countries like China and the USA.
- Pakistan’s relationships with China and other countries provide it with diplomatic leverage to negotiate its national interests.
- Pakistan’s debt burden is a significant challenge, and seeking debt relief or even wave off could
help stabilize its economy. China can play a vital role in this regard to get Pakistan out of IMF
debt trap.
- China’s investment in Pakistan, particularly through the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor
(CPEC) has the potential to boost Pakistan’s economy.• To further strengthen Pakistan’s position, it’s essential to focus a robust rule of law framework and eradicate corruption that are crucial for attracting foreign investment and promoting economic growth.
- Good governance, transparency, and accountability is essential for building trust with national &
international partners and ensuring the effective use of resources.
- Implementing economic reforms to promote business-friendly policies, trade, and investment can help
Pakistan achieves sustainable economic growth.
I wrote in 2022 that Pakistan will IA rise with the first Sun rise of 2025 by showing resilience and consistency. Meanwhile, the world has begun to see Pakistan from a different lens and positive angle. However, the most important is the rule of law, good governance, feel of responsibility, and engagement with youth. Pakistan always Zindabad
