ISLAMABAD, August 24: The ongoing global transformation marked by growing US-China rivalry, increasing US-India strategic relations, Russia-Ukraine conflict, and climate change posed serious challenges to Pakistan’s foreign policy, said Ambassador NadeemRiyaz, President IRS. He was addressing a seminar organized by the Department of Strategic Studies at Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad. He added that Pakistan should consider realignments vis-à-vis global environment. Besides the global environment, regional environment was also imperative. He asserted that we could not change our neighbors so it was vital to coexist with them. Pakistan needed to manage its relations with India, alongside dealing with Afghanistan, and the difficult relations with Iran, he said. He stressed the need for Pakistan to keep its ties unaffected with China, especially considering the fact that had taken a rather low-profile in recent past.
