Pakistan place in changing of the world order
Pakistan is at a crossroads once more; While a decision is still essential, evasion and trepidation are not the solution. In the Western world, the breakup between Saudi Arabia and Iran has been viewed as a worrying development. China and a few Muslim nations have mediated the rapprochement between the two archrivals, much to the dismay of many. This action has been viewed as a blow to the United States of America's hegemony by political analysts.
With Russia's fall, competition after the Second World War came to an end. America was touted as the only heavyweight in the international community by a new world. The small economies escaped the dilemma of joining power camps during the last three decades of a unipolar world. After decades of complacency, China has begun to challenge the status quo. The first attempt to shake things up was the One Belt, One Road initiative. The new political advancements in the Middle Easterner world took the Western powers and NATO powers by storm.
Since its inception, Pakistan has been a close ally of the United States. Even though our relationship with China is as old as Pakistan, the rest of the world has never seen it as a high point. Pakistan is currently facing a challenging situation as a result of the competing political and economic interests of China and the United States in the region. Pakistan is a mercenary option that the United States wants on its side for security reasons. India continues to be an important economic and political ally of the United States in the region in order to reduce China's power. In today's world, Pakistan is facing more serious challenges than just economic and strategic ones. The country must provide food for its over 230 million inhabitants. It must channel the energy of a large portion of the young population that is motivated by religion and affiliated with various religious sects. In a similar vein, a variety of factors pose a serious threat to Pakistan's food insecurity. Pakistan has always been a secure nation with well-developed military capabilities. The requirements have also evolved with the times. Pakistan necessities to rethink its international strategy choices in the setting of changing worldwide plan. America is skeptical about Pakistan's loyalty. China has observed a shift in Pakistan's policy positions regarding the CPEC issues. China requires a Pakistan that is unwavering, has solid political leadership, is aware of the economic realities, and can make decisions.
Pakistan is in a critical position as a result of the new realities that have been fostered by international forces. Pakistan must adopt a clear position without avoiding multiple ambiguities. There are two choices available: to either join the China camp alongside oil-rich Saudi Arabia and Iran or play second fiddle to India as an American proximate in the region.
The influence of right-wing forces—whether in the form of the Shia sect or a large Sunni population—must be calibrated when making preferences. It is likely that China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and Syria will work together to create a new economic order. KSA is regarded with reverence and sensitivity by Muslims. The country's majority Sunni population has a strong religious bent that can go to any lengths if Pakistan chooses to support the United States and the United States and its allies try to impede Saudi Arabia's progress. Similarly, the gigantic Shia populace views at Iran and Iraq as sacred spots which open up entryways of
Pakistan and the impacting scene request sky for them. Any fuming or offense against Iran, Iraq or Syria in Pakistan might set off this unpredictable portion of society.
Society in Pakistan has witnessed sectarian violence. Chiefs of Pakistan don't want to see the revival of partisan savagery in the country. It's possible that the opposing sectarian groups will work together to oppose the state and support Saudi Arabia and Iran. Prudence is required to avoid this danger.
In order to avert food insecurity and reverse the deindustrialization process, Pakistan should look into opportunities for regional trade. Products made with POL fuel the country's economy and satisfy domestic requirements. A gigantic Pakistani diaspora likewise works in the Bay locale and unfamiliar settlements sent from Bay states have turned into the help for our financial endurance. Our trade with Saudi Arabia, China, and Iran can effectively assist us in meeting our national requirements.
Pakistan is in the high seas and waiting for the tide to rise to raise its ships. It should not be forgotten that the Chinese yuan is the currency in Russia that is traded the most. To lessen its reliance on the IMF, Malaysia has proposed establishing the Asian Monetary Fund. However the thought is still too crude to even consider utilizing as prepared food, it can possibly turn into a future exchange reality. Pakistani policymakers must set the national agenda with a creative sense of proportion because change is inevitable. Instead of balancing between the two poles of power, Pakistan needs to take a clear stand. Policymakers are still in charge of deciding which path to take.
