Washington: Renowned US magazine Foreign Policy has described Pakistan’s foreign policy as a “winner,” while terming India a “loser,” citing shifting diplomatic dynamics in Washington and the wider region.
According to the report, Pakistan has secured a level of trust and access in the United States that even several long-standing American allies have struggled to achieve.
The magazine notes that Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir’s personal rapport with President Donald Trump has helped pave the way for Pakistan’s diplomatic progress in Washington. The recent reception of Pakistan’s Prime Minister and the Field Marshal at the Oval Office is described as a clear indication of a new phase in bilateral relations.
Foreign Policy highlights Pakistan’s “smart diplomacy” as a key factor in tilting the regional balance of power in its favor.
In contrast, India is said to be on the defensive, facing mounting trade pressures and US displeasure over its continued purchase of Russian oil.
The report also credits Pakistan with playing a decisive role in the arrest of a mastermind behind terrorist attacks, calling it an immediate foreign-policy win for President Trump.
