PAKISTAN’S RELATIONS WITH CHINA
Pakistan recognized the communist government of China in 1950 and supported it in regaining the UNO
membership. During 1956-60, leaders of both countries visited each other's country to strengthen economic and
cultural relations. In 1963, the boundary line between the two countries was demarcated to avoid any conflict in
future. A series of trade agreements were signed in 1960s.
China granted $60 million interest free loan and became the world's largest importer of
Pakistan's cotton. Pakistan imported industrial machinery and developed the Heavy Mechanical Complex at
Taxila. Pakistan International Airline started regular flights to China which resulted in increased business.
KaraKaram Highway is the road link that flourishes trade and tourism between the two countries.
China has supported Pakistan's stand on Kashmir issue. During the 1965 war with India, China supplied military
aid to Pakistan along with diplomatic assistance. Jn 1986, the two countries signed a nuclear cooperation treaty
which is an indication of very good relations. China gave the Chashma Nuclear Power Plant to Pakistan,
constructed near Mianwali and which started operation in 1999.
Now coming to the weaker side, Pakistan did not have good relations with China in its early few years after
independence due to pro-American policies (USA and China were rivals).[Continued on next slide] 2
RELATIONS WITH CHINA [CONTINUED]
In 1959 Pakistan condemned Chinese military action in Tibet which was displeasure for China. In the 1971 war
with India, China did not support Pakistan due to former USSR pressure that supported India. During 1990s China
wanted Pakistan to resolve its issue of Kashmir with India. Perhaps she wanted a compromise which was a cause
of resentment for Pakistan.
Conclusively, it can be said that as a whole Pakistan has maintained cordial relations with China. The two
countries have been living in harmony. Delegations from almost all walks of life exchanged visits. Up to 1999,
there were strong economi , trade and cultural ties between the two countries. And Pakistan received signifi nt
ilitary and industrial equipment from China.
China proved to be a reliable and consistent friend over the periods of decades. Pakistan supported China
diplomatically in the UN and the Outside. Both the countries have developed close relations in all the areas
including economic development and industrialization, defense, science and technology, environment and trade.
China has played a significant role in the development, economy and security of Pakistan
Since the advent of the 21st century, Pakistan and China have strengthened their relations through bilateral trade,
military agreements and supporting each other on key issues. 3
RELATIONS WITH AFGHANISTAN
Afghanistan provides a mix of challenges and opportunities for Pakistan. As with India, Pakistan’s relations
with Afghanistan have been hostage to security. However, the biggest trouble with Pakistan’s foreign policy
towards Afghanistan is its deep socio-political and economic impact on Pakistan.
The past 35 years have proven the fact that any foreign policy towards Afghanistan will have great social,
economic and political fallout on Pakistan be it the Afghan-Soviet war of 1979 to 1988, the era of Taliban or
9/11. Since the unfortunate event of 9/11, Afghanistan and the region have gone through a rapid change. The
Taliban, although ousted from power, are not yet defeated.
America and the West have, to a large extent, given up their interest in Afghanistan. The only thing that one
finds common when it comes to Afghanistan, is the concern among Afghanistan’s neighbours regarding the
threat of terrorism, extremism and militancy reaching their borders. This threat, therefore, raises the interest of
all neighbouring states to get involved with Afghanistan. (Continued)

RELATIONS WITH AFGHANISTAN [CONTINUED]
So dealing with Afghanistan means dealing with a number of countries that include China, Russia, United States and Iran.
Since the United States attack on Afghanistan in 2001, Pakistan has been facing continued challenges on its western border.
Unfortunately, promises that the Americans made to Pakistan prior to the attack were not kept.
Resultantly, Pakistan could not develop a considerable support base or a strategic space in Afghanistan’s current political
establishment. Secondly, Pakistan, due to its own economic downturn, could not buttress its foreign policy goals in
Afghanistan with economic tools. Therefore, we could not invest much in Afghanistan as India or Iran did.
Pakistan should clearly and effectively communicate to Afghanistan that Pakistan’s foremost objective — the sanctity of its
sovereignty, security and territorial integrity — can never be compromised. Therefore, cooperation with Afghanistan will be
conditioned with the elimination of anti-Pakistan elements on Afghan soil — be it the Baloch separatists, remnants of the TTP
or other terrorist outfits.
Stability in Afghanistan is in the utmost security, political, economic and social interest of Pakistan. Policymakers in
Washington and Kabul understand that stability will not come to Afghanistan without Pakistan’s help. Kabul and Islamabad
also agree that terrorists, extremists, militants and others of their likes cannot be and will not be allowed to hijack the destiny
of the two countries. (Continued)

RELATIONS WITH AFGHANISTAN
During last few years, Pakistan has taken serious measures to reach to all Afghans.
Therefore, the government in Kabul should look to their own incompetences, governmental
and institutional problems rather than blaming Pakistan for every wrongdoing that takes
place in Afghanistan.
While all of the above mentioned points carry a considerable weight, the most crucial point
on Pakistan’s foreign policy agenda with Afghanistan should be preventing India from
using Afghanistan as a launching pad for subversive activities against Pakistan’s national
interests.
Moreover, it should not be surprising that 50,000 people cross the Pak-Afghan border daily
with a big majority of them being Afghans crossing into Pakistan for treatment, business or
meeting families. Therefore, one can say that Pakistan has every chance of developing a
huge constituency in Afghanistan. 6

PALESTINIAN ISSUE
The Palestine problem has been the cause of unrest for the entire Muslim world. The people and government of Pakistan
continue with their support and have always acknowledged the right of the Palestinian people. Pakistan has always spoken
strongly in favor of the Arab cause in the United Nations, the Security Council and at all other international forums such as
NAM etc.
At all OIC meetings Pakistan has stressed for the protection of the rights and interests of the Palestinian people and has
always pressed for a just and honorable solution of the problem. Pakistan has always demanded that Israel should vacate the
occupied Arab territories and should stop its expansionist designs. Also Israel should stop the killing of innocent Palestinian
people. During the Second OIC summit Conference at Lahore in 1974, the Israeli attitude was strongly condemned. It was
demanded that Israel should withdraw from occupied Arab territories and the former status of Jerusalem shouId be restored.
Pakistan recognizes the PLO as the true representative of the Palestini pe ple. Pakistan does not recognize the state of Israel
and has never shown any intention to develop diplomatic relations with that-state. Pakistan has been supporting Palestinian
Cause andhas not recognised Israel ever since the emergence of Israel state in 1948, Pakistan has opposed the unjust and
unfair policy of western powers that arranged an supported the settlement of Jews from all parts of the world on unlawfully
occupied Arab lands. Pakistan has ised on the forum of OIC for the rights of Palestinian people and withdrawal of Israeli
forces from the occupied territories.

KASHMIR CONFLICT
Since partition, the issue of Kashmir has caused friction between India and Pakistan. Fighting between India and Pakistan in
1948 resulted in Kashmir being divided between the two countries[Discussed in Next Slide]. However, Pakistan was angered
that India retained the largest area of Kashmir, including the capital, Srinagar and was determined to try to gain control of the
whole of Kashmir. Most of the 4 million inhabitants of Kashmir were Muslims and Pakistan believed the territory rightly
belonged to her.
From 1949, there was an agreed ceasefire line through Kashmir, which was controlled by troops from the UN. Negotiations
continued through the 1950s, but little progress was made.
In 1954 and 1955, India tried to integrate The Indian-Occupied Kashmir. This provoked protests from Pakistan and, then, from
the UN after Pakistan appealed to the United Nations Security Council.
In 1957, the UN Security Council was so concerned that India might try to occupy Kashmir again, that it issued a declaration
re-confirming that the whole of Kashmir was a disputed territory and that its future could only be settled by a vote by the
people of Kashmir. Such a plebiscite should be supervised by the UN. To date, no such vote has taken place and the area has
remained a constant source of tension.

CONCLUSION
Foreign policy is thought as the facade of a country in the global community; as systematic, dynamic, effective
and successful foreign policy elevates the stature of a country on the international stage. While a weak and passive
foreign policy causes failure and may lead up to negative consequences such as diplomatic isolation, economic
downturn and political chaos.
Pakistan’s foreign policy, like that of any other country, will be hugely affected by our internal environment. Our
overall national interest, foreign policy goals and the objectives of our national security and foreign policy are
linked to political stability, economic strength, good governance, vibrant institutions and social cohesion.
Thus, the best of our foreign policies will not bring us any good unless and until we put our own house in order by
bringing law and order, eradicating corruption, improving governance and economic management. Lastly, in order
to create a favourable domestic environment, we need to consolidate the effects of operation Zarb-e-Azb and
move harder against militancy, sectarianism, fanaticism, and extremism.
