In case of its all weather ally i.e. China as well the dilemma never stops haunting an openly Islamic state which has to ignore Xinjiang reeducation camps, reduced relevance in Afghan talks as well as economic strides of rapidly developing India. Challenges upon challenges are raining down on Pakistan at a time where political stability also as usual is not in a very strong situation to deal with them. Pakistan is a problematic country, and because of its geostrategic location, it poses problems for the whole world. General Bajwa’s statement at the most recent Islamabad Security Dialogue hinted to the prospect of fresh thinking among Pakistan’s decision-makers.
