Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs conducted its annual year-end review, highlighting the country’s diplomatic achievements and challenges over the past year. The briefing covered a wide range of topics, from strengthening bilateral relations with neighboring countries to actively participating in global forums and addressing emerging global challenges.
A key highlight was Pakistan’s efforts to enhance economic cooperation with China under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) framework. The ministry emphasized the project’s significance for regional connectivity and economic development. Relations with Afghanistan were also a focal point, as the government continues to navigate complex dynamics amidst ongoing regional instability.
On the global stage, Pakistan reiterated its commitment to addressing climate change and advancing sustainable development. Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari acknowledged the challenges posed by global economic uncertainties and regional tensions but praised the diplomatic corps for representing Pakistan effectively.
The review also sheds light on the country’s active role in multilateral forums such as the United Nations, where Pakistan continues to advocate for issues including Kashmir and global peacekeeping efforts. However, critics argue that domestic political instability undermines Pakistan’s ability to fully capitalize on its diplomatic initiatives. A more unified internal strategy, they contend, is essential for realizing the country’s foreign policy goals.
