Description
The 2021 National Security Policy has made Geo-economics as its main pivot. It is therefore, essential to look in a coherent and comprehensive manner as to how Pakistan’s economic relations with other nations should evolve to meet this objective. In designing foreign economic policy we should always keep in mind that such a policy would be a by-product of the country’s larger foreign and domestic economic policies. For example, if foreign policy with one particular country or group of countries is silent, ambivalent or agnostic then a foreign economic policy cannot be built upon strong economic cooperation with that country or group. Similarly, if the domestic economic policy is constrained by fiscal problems than giving aid to promote Pakistani goods in international markets would be an exercise in futility.
