Pakistan is the second largest Muslim country in terms of population (after Indonesia), and its
status as a declared nuclear power, being the only Islamic nation to have that status, plays a part
in its international role.
Pakistan has a fiercely independent foreign policy, especially when it comes to issues such as
development of nuclear weapons, construction of nuclear reactors, foreign military purchases
and other issues that are vital to its national interests. Pakistan has a strategic geo-political
location at the corridor of world major maritime oil supply lines, and has close proximity to the
resource and oil rich central Asian countries. Pakistan is an important member of the
Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), is ranked by the US as a major non-NATO ally in
the war against terrorism, and has a highly disciplined military, which is the world's eighth-
largest standing military force.

Foreign policy of Pakistan[edit]
Main articles: Pakistan-Soviet Union relations, Pakistan-United States relations and East
Pakistan
The Foreign policy of Pakistan sets out in the way it interacts with foreign nations and to
determine its standard of interactions for its organizations, corporations and individual
citizens.[1][2]
Backed by the semi-agricultural and semi-industrialized economy, Pakistan is the
47th largest (nominal GDP) and 27th largest (purchasing power) economic power in the world,
with a defence budget of $5.60 billion, which accounts for approximately ~2.8% of global
military spending. The Foreign Minister of Pakistan is the official charged with state-to-state
diplomacy, although the Prime minister maintains an ultimate authority over foreign policy.[1]
The state foreign policy includes defining the national interest, as well as the economic interest
and strategies chosen both to safeguard that and to achieve its policy goals.[1]
Following the
general election held on May 2013, Tariq Fatimi and NSA Sartaj Aziz are designated as advisers
to the Prime Minister on foreign and strategic policies.[3][4]
Historical overview[edit]
Since its establishment in 1947, Pakistan's foreign policy has encompassed difficult relations
with the neighboring Soviet Union (USSR) who maintained a close military and ideological
interaction with the neighboring countries such as Afghanistan (in the West) and India (in East)
as well as East Pakistan.[5]
During most of 1947–1991, the USSR support was given to India;

4. especially on the core-issue of Kashmir, over which it has fought three wars.[5]
During the 1960s,
Pakistan's relations with East Pakistan and the neighboring Afghanistan have also been
extremely difficult due to the two latter's contest over the Durand Line. The foreign relations
with Iran, Saudi Arabia and China remains extremely important and based on the extensive
cooperation in national security and economical interests in the Persian Gulf and wide-ranging
bilateral relations with the United States and other Western countries. With the growing
influence of USSR in the region, Pakistan cemented close security relations with China in Asia
and Poland in Europe during most of the Cold War. While Pakistan's had "on-off relations" with
the United States, Pakistan assisted President Nixon reapproach with China and other East Asian
countries.
In 1947, Jinnah clearly described the principles and objectives of Pakistan's foreign policy in a
broadcast message. The Objectives of Foreign Policy of Pakistan:
“
The foundation of our foreign policy is friendship with all nations across the globe.
”
—Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Founder of Pakistan, source[6]
Major alliances[edit]
Main articles: Pakistan-OIC relations, Pakistan – United States relations and China–Pakistan
relations
This section requires expansion. (February 2011)
In 1951, Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan paid a historical and friendly state visit to the United
States, and held meetings with President Harry Truman and the American military officials for
the purpose of the military aid.[7]
Ideologically, Prime Minister Ali Khan was opposed to the
communism; his government was also struggling with the issues concerning the matters of
uplifting the national economy and protecting interests of national security.[7]
In 1954–56, the
United States and Pakistan signed the Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement which saw the
dispatching of the Military Assistance Advisory Group to provide military training to the
Pakistan Armed Forces in 1955–56.[7]
In 1955, Pakistan joined the CENTO and the SEATO alliances in 1956.[7]
In 1971, Pakistan
withdrew itself from these two alliances in a vision of exercising the independent foreign policy.
In 1974, Pakistan became a critical entity in the militarization of the OIC and has historically
maintained brotherly and friendly relations with all the Arab and Muslim countries under the
banner of OIC. In 2004, Pakistan became the Major non-NATO ally of the United States.
Major rivalries[edit]
Main articles: India-Pakistan relations and Afghanistan–Pakistan relations
.

5. Since 1947, Pakistan's relations have been difficult with regional neighbors, India and
Afghanistan over the geopolitical issues. In fact, India and Pakistan have fought three
conventional wars throughout the 20th century over the issue of Kashmir. The continuing dispute
over the status of Kashmir inflames opinions in both nations and makes friendly relations
difficult. In the 1960s, the problems over the Durand Line escalated with Afghanistan which led
to open hostilities in the 1970s.
International organisation[edit]
See also: Foreign trade of Pakistan
Pakistan is an active member of the United Nations. It was a member of the CENTO and SEATO
military alliances. Its alliance with the United States was especially close after the Soviets
invaded the neighboring country of Afghanistan. In 1964, Pakistan signed the Regional
Cooperation for Development (RCD) Pact with Turkey and Iran, when all three countries were
closely allied with the U.S., and as neighbors of the Soviet Union, wary of perceived Soviet
expansionism. To this day, Pakistan has a close relationship with Turkey. RCD became defunct
after the Iranian Revolution, and a Pakistani-Turkish initiative led to the founding of the
Economic Cooperation Organisation (ECO) in 1985.
Pakistan is the leading member of the Coffee Club to oppose Indian membership in the United
Nations Security Council.

18/Jan/1976 Main article: Bangladesh–Pakistan relations
Relations between the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the
People's Republic of Bangladesh are influenced by the fact that
Bangladesh was a part of Pakistan until 1971, when it achieved
independence after the Bangladesh Liberation War and the Indo-
Pakistani War of 1971. As part of Shimla Agreement, India
sought to make sure that Pakistan would take steps to recognize
Bangladesh. Pakistan established full diplomatic relations with
Bangladesh on January 18, 1976, and relations improved in the
following decades.

of China (PRC) were established on 21 May 1951, shortly after
the retreat of the Republic Of China in 1949.[24]
While initially
ambivalent towards the idea of a Communist country on its
borders, Pakistan hoped that the PRC would serve as a
counterweight to Indian influence. India had recognised the PRC
a year before, and Indian Prime Minister Nehru also hoped for
closer relations between India and the PRC. However, with
escalating border tensions leading to the 1962 Sino-Indian war,
the PRC and Pakistan formed an alliance. One year after the
PRCs border war with India, Pakistan ceded the Trans-
Karakoram Tract to the PRC in order to convince the PRC
Authorities to be friendly towards Pakistan.

share historic, cultural, geographic, and economic links, their
relationship has been plagued by hostility and suspicion.
India and Pakistan have fought in numerous armed conflicts
since their independence. There are three major wars that have
taken place between the two states, namely in 1947, 1965 and the
Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. In addition to this was the
