The world expected that Pakistan should deal with both Taliban in an equitable manner, in other words, rout the Afghan Taliban from Pakistan just as the Pakistan Law Enforcement were routing the Pakistani Taliban (TTP). The Afghan Taliban were a resistance movement

A Russian military incursion into Ukraine would have far-reaching economic ramifications in Asia, where Russian energy is a key driver of economic growth and three of Russia’s top 10 trading partners, including China, are located. Those outcomes, however, might not be all bad.

A stolen wealth of the nation is illegally transferred through the banking system to acquire expensive real estate abroad or to be re-routed back as white money. If caught, the bank has to pay the fine thereby burdening the other account holders.

The invasion of Ukraine by Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as the international condemnation it elicited, have important policy implications. They're lessons that should've been taught during previous global crises but weren't.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has met Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan in Moscow, as Russian forces continued their invasion of Ukraine, with the latter expressing “regret” that a military conflict was not averted, according to a Pakistani statement.

Russia may experience a severe economic fallout affecting its banking, reserves and business. What’s important is that Pakistan will feel the heat with wheat shortages, high fuel and energy prices that will go way higher than what they are.

Imran Khan's choice to continue with the Russian trip, which is vital to the advancement of many sectors in Pakistan, was a wise one; media experts who have criticized Khan's administration for not canceling the trip would have been more critical of Khan's government if he had done so.

The bottom line is that neither Russia, certainly if it is bogged down in Ukraine, nor China, is willing or able to replace the United States as the Gulf’s security guarantor. As a result, hedging bets may be one thing; another is not acting against Russian interests while acting against US interests.

PM Khan represents perhaps the most advanced thinking on Pakistan’s foreign policy. Amidst a domestic intellectual climate of skepticism, fear, and concern over the issue of the diversification of Pakistan’s foreign policy, the national leadership has consistently sought multilateral cooperation
