Pakistan is situated in Southern Asia. Its
geographical position has made her very important for big powers of the world.
That is why they have always tired to influence Pakistan’s relations with her neighbors.
We have two big powers as our immediate neighbors i.e. Russia and china. Our
third neighbor, India, is also trying to become a big power. Iran and
Afghanistan are also our immediate neighbors, but they, being Muslim nations, have
brotherly relations with Pakistan. Our relations with china are also very
cordial. China has helped us in every difficulty. China is the first country
which had accepted Pakistan when it came into being. But Russia and India have
always tried to harm Pakistan. We have had three wars with India during the
last ten fifty, and Russia has always supported our enemy. In 1971 India. Supported
by Russia. Created trouble for us in East Pakistan and, at last. We lost more
than half of our country. Our relations with India are still quite strained, ‘out
it is hoped that in future India and Russia will agree to have friendly
relations with Pakistan.
In 1998, India conducted five nuclear tests to get
upper hand on Pakistan. But Pakistani nation is a living nation. They also
decided to pay back India in the same coin, they also stages seven nuclear
tests and in this way the balance of power in South Africa again become the
same. India’s dream to become a super power and atomic power shattered.
Pakistan also proved that she is not less than India in any field. Pakistan has
proved its technology best and superior.
Pakistan has very friendly relations with her neighbors
in Western Asia. We have very close ties with Turkey and Iran under the R.C.D programd.
Our relations with the Arab world too are very close. We also have several
treaties with different countries of the world. Pakistan is also a member of CENTO.
But these institutions are worthless, and they never helped Pakistan in times
of need. China has proved herself a worthy neighbor of Pakistan. It has always
given both moral and material help. In the last Indo-Pak war China helped
Pakistan to a great extant.
Pakistan has always tried to have good relations
with all her neighbors. But our quarrel with India over Kashmir is still
unresolved. Let us hope that India will realize the importance of neighborly
relations with Pakistan. And settle her disputes with us amicably. Unluckily
India is not coming to dialogues to resolve common problems. Sooner or later
India will have to come to a dialogue table.
