PAKISTAN AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
Pakistan's
foreign relations with China, India, Iran, the United States, Afghanistan and
Saudi Arabia are of particular importance
Pakistan and the People's Republic of China:
Pakistan
and China are neighboring countries. Their relationship is based on glorious
traditions and close friendship. A few months after the founding of the
People's Republic of China in October 1949, Pakistan recognized it and
later established diplomatic relations.
Pakistan's
relations with China are very good
The
Prime Ministers of Pakistan and China met at the Bandung Conference in 1945 and
the series of meetings since then has continued to this day. Efforts to
demarcate the border between the two countries began in 1961 and were completed
in 1963. As a result, relations between the two countries became very cordial
and the way was opened for trade agreements and Pakistan Airlines started air
service in Beijing.
In February
1964, the President of Pakistan paid a historic visit to China in which
China supported Pakistan's position for a peaceful settlement of Kashmir. China also
declared its support for Pakistan in the 1965 Indo-Pak war and provided
significant financial support to strengthen Pakistan's defense.
China
has provided technical and technical assistance to Pakistan for the
establishment of various industries, notable among which are the heavy
machinery complex and its sub-projects at Taxila, the establishment of a
machine tool factory at Landhi and the establishment of a sports complex at
Islamabad.
The construction of the Karakoram
Highway between Pakistan and China was completed in
1969, which further strengthened the
close ties between the two countries and exchanged delegations. Air links were
also established between the two countries.
Pakistan
supported China at the diplomatic level. Pakistan supported China to make it a
permanent member of the United Nations. Pakistan played a key role in bringing
the United States and China closer together, establishing a direct link between
the two countries.
In 2013, the Prime Minister of
Pakistan visited China and the purpose of this visit was to sign several
agreements in the field of energy between the two countries. In this way, the relationship between the two countries has
become very good and very deep. During the Chinese President's visit to
Pakistan in April 2015, the two countries signed agreements worth 46
billion. In November 2016, China announced an additional investment
of 8.5 billion.
Pakistan and The United States:
The
establishment of Pakistan marked the beginning of friendly relations between
the United States and Pakistan. To promote these relations, the government of
Pakistan developed military relations with the United States and signed several
agreements. The United States also provided military and economic assistance to
Pakistan. Relations between Pakistan and the United States did not warm up much
in the 1970s as the United States began imposing various sanctions on Pakistan.
One reason for this was that Pakistan launched its own nuclear energy program
to generate energy.
The
wave of good relations between Pakistan and the United States re-emerged in the
1979 war between Afghanistan and the Soviet Union, but as soon as the
war in Afghanistan ended, the traditional warmth ended again. The United
States has named Pakistan as the largest ally after NATO, which has further
improved relations between Pakistan and the United States.
Pakistan
and Afghanistan:
Afghanistan
is a neighboring Muslim country of Pakistan. The Durand Line divides the
Pakistan-Afghanistan border, which is about 2252 km long. Transportation between the two countries is through mountain
passes. Khyber Pass is very
famous among these gates.
Relations
between the two countries improved greatly in the early 1970. The Prime
Minister of Pakistan and the President of Afghanistan paid a courtesy call on
each other and reached an agreement under which the two countries pledged a
policy of territorial integrity and non-interference. But with the military
coup in Afghanistan in April 1978 and the entry of Russian troops into
Afghanistan in December 1979, relations soured again. Afghanistan's new
government has used Russian forces extensively to crush the insurgency, forcing
more than 3 million Afghans to flee their homes and enter Pakistan. The
government of Pakistan sheltered them in a humane and Islamic manner.
Relations
between the two countries have further improved since Hamid Karzai was elected
Afghanistan's democratic president in 2004. When Ashraf Ghani was elected
President of Afghanistan in 2014, a joint formula was formulated to resolve the
border issues between Pakistan and Afghanistan in order to further improve
relations between the two countries.
