1. Pre 9/11 foreign policy of Musharraf
As was the case in previous military governments, Musharraf intent was to return Pakistan to civilian rule as soon as feasible. The chief executive plan to achieve this goal was similar in certain aspects to that put forward by Ayub Khan. The action of Pakistan generals was coldly received by many in the outside world. Washington was quick to criticize the coup leader and US President signaled his disfavor by changing his March 2000 South Asian visit so as to spend only a few hours in Pakistan while staying in India and Bangladesh for longer visits. However the strain in U.S.-Pakistan relations was caused by a wide range of issues. Pakistan sustained political instability its repeated failure at constructing civil society, the impediments to a resolution of the Kashmir question and most significantly the country's nuclear arms race with India.
In July as president Musharraf traveled to Agra India where he met with Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee to discuss regional security and importantly the issue of Kashmir. No real progress was made but the meeting set the stage for subsequent summit meetings between Musharraf and his Indian counterparts.

    President Trump and Pakistan have exchanged argumentative and accusatory rhetoric over the security problems caused by terrorists and Taliban traveling back and forth from Pakistan and Afghanistan. Washington recently cut off 900 million of military aid to Pakistan until they show signs of fighting the Afghan Taliban and Haqqani militant groups in Pakistan (Landay, 2018). The Pakistani Defense committee claims to be a scapegoat for the U.S. failures in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, Washington recently requested India to step up their support by providing military assistance in Afghanistan and India agreed. Strategic critics will argue that increased Indian involvement in the form of hard military power in Afghanistan will exacerbate Pakistani fears of being strategically surrounded by India and potentially lead to Pakistan-India proxy wars in Afghanistan (Paliwal,…

    The recent line of events has stained the US-Pakistan relationships, putting both countries’ position in a shadow. In such a controversial period of time, with diverse views around the globe, my assertions portray the alliance of United States to be significant for Pakistan throughout history.

To prove my claim, this paper provides information on US aid, economic assistance to Pakistan, including the use of economic foreign policy and direct budget support to enhance Pakistan’s macroeconomic stability. Lastly, it discusses the positive role of the US in IMF, disbursing loans to Pakistan.…

These included inexperienced and inadequate administrative staff, a massive refugee problem, poor economic resources, regional conflicts, the decline of the Muslim League and the advent of coalitional politics and unstable governments.…

    Pakistan and China’s bilateral relations have stood the test of time. China has always provided political, economic, humanitarian and diplomatic support to Pakistan. However, for the last two years there has been a concerted campaign in the Indian and Western media to malign this relationship by blowing minor issues out of proportion. Chinese aid volume during the 2010 super floods, the pulling out of government owned Chinese bank from Iran-Pakistan pipeline project, the 2011 terrorist attack in Xinjiang in which involvement of Pakistani elements was pointed by China, the withholding of time sensitive funds of Rs 274 billion for Nelum-Jehlum hydropower project, on Indian pressure; are cited as signs of weakening ties. Though Pak-China bilateral relations are very robust, it is obvious that in international affairs nothing can be taken for granted. Necessary measures need to be adopted to smooth any wrinkles in the relationship. There have also been some interesting regional as well as global developments during recent years which require further strengthening of PakChina rapport.…

    There are many factors that truly contribute to the shaping of the foreign policy of a country. But all these factors can be divided into two classes. One is domestic factors and another is external factors. In domestic factors we can have factors of domestic importance like energy, agriculture, industrial importance, resources etc. for example India's growing economy demands huge energy for growth. It will mean that our foreign policy should be shaped such that our energy demands must be fulfilled with the help of other countries. In this regard India should make friendly relations with the countries having rich energy resources and try to help those countries in by investing in these countries in oil, gas etc. sector. So our domestic demands will direct our foreign policy. In the same way what happens at the international level does affect all the countries in some way...Directly or indirectly. So we have to see that particular event does not harm our national interests. In this way one would have to take a particular stand and take action according to that. for example India remained non-aligned after it's freedom so that it would not remain dependent on a particular country for it's development, and that helped India as Russia, America an other countries all helped it some way or the other.…
