In the chorography of global politics, Pakistan’s foreign policy has experienced the burden of previous decades of turbulence, missed opportunities, and irrelevancies. After years of defensive measures, Islamabad is now unveiling itself as an assertive, cooperative, and indispensable partner at both regional and global levels. Before Marka-e-Haq, the country had remained quite sidelined in the theatre of international politics. However, since May 2025, after the victory of Operation Bunyan ul Marsos, it has actively engaged in intensive bilateral and multilateral engagements with all major powers across the globe to achieve tangible national interests. In this regard, Pakistan’s engagement with China, the USA, and bilateral cooperation with Russia, as well as in the Muslim world, is meticulously planned to secure the country’s economic and political interests.
