Major Foreign Policy Challenges
Pakistan is trying to tackle a number of challenges on both internal and external fronts. Generally connected to foreign policy or regional politics, a great deal of problems is linked to internal instability. Friendship roots of regional politics including foreign policy are based on political and economic interests. Whatever big or small country will build better relations with us, the game of economy is important behind it. The main point of our national security policy is now connected with the economy and according to us, now we are connected with the sustainable and relations and economy. We stand at the core point that our global or regional relations will now be based not on conflicts, wars or conflicts but on a bilateral economy.
This ambiguity about foreign policy should be ended on the basis of this basic friendship, religion or personal relations. The main basis of foreign policy is connected with bilateral interests, and where you value each other’s interests in the world of relations or take some and move things forward on the basis of two, then the big and strong countries of the world also provide a way for you to benefit from each other’s importance, utility and resources or power. We have also given importance to the point in our security policy that we will play a key or key role in the stability of regional politics and will not engage in any major powerful country’s proxy war or conflict.
America and China have emerged in a big war or balance of power. The new global and regional blocks are also becoming in front of the power of both. And their importance is also increasing. One of the major challenges of Pakistan is that we have to present ourselves as a balance among these two major powers in our foreign policy. Relations with the US are to move forward with both by avoiding the basis of China’s enmity or displeasure or China’s friendship with the US in such a way that there is no balance and there is no conflict. In the same way, in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Qatar, UAE, which are making big changes and the process of turning into hostile friendship should also be seen in conjunction with the same global and global changes. Because of the discontent of the United States, we may face major problems with the IMF and the European Union and the economy. Therefore, Pakistan also needs fundamental changes in its internal, regional and global policies in the context of major changes at global, global and regional levels. Our foreign policy should be determined as a major advisory framework rather than as a basis for specific desires or dislikes.
The few major challenges that Pakistan has at this time need to focus on five major issues or in the light of these issues, determine its priorities in the right direction. First, problems related to internal governance and governance require a major surgery and these traditional or outdated methods do not meet our needs today. Secondly, we have not only to focus on the issues of India and Afghanistan but also need a major change in our current policy. Restoring better relations and trade relations with India should be our priority agenda. Keeping in view our policy on Kashmir issue, progress on other issues, including trade, is all we need. India’s role is also important, which is a barrier to better relations at this time, but even then, the main point of our diplomatic and diplomatic war should be better relations with India. Because a solution to the Afghan crisis is connected to better relations with India otherwise India will maintain strategy to destabilize us by laying the foundation for Afghanistan and use the Afghan government against us. The Afghan crisis has become a new problem for Pakistan itself, and with the Taliban government, our problems are increasing, and the Taliban’s own leaning is also seen as connected with India under economic interests. TTP we have to find a permanent treatment. With the improvement of India and Afghanistan, TTP can be weakened or eliminated. The strategy should be to cooperate with other countries in order to deal with terrorism in the right direction, practical and transparent measures or in the internal, regional and external matters connected with terrorism. We have to establish a variety of local, regional and global think tanks, including foreign ministry, diplomacy, and with their help, a great diplomatic, political struggle is needed by laying the foundation for our peaceful narrative. Foreign or regional policy requires an end to adhocism and we have to play a key role in it by connecting with global politics or the forum. We need exceptional measures in exceptional circumstances and many cases to find a solution to out-of-box problems by changing the already existing procedure. There is a need to do something new by analyzing practical measures and pre-conditions on a regular basis compared to foreign policy on the basis of response. China-Pakistan economic should be part of our priorities such as CPEC so that we can create better economic possibilities.
Pakistan has to learn something better and new by not merely redeeming itself on the basis of allegations, but by admitting its past and present mistakes. But until we reform our home, we will not be able to achieve anything in foreign policy, which we want to do. But will we be able to learn from our mistakes and move on; this question is serious and demands new thinking and thinking from us.
