When we talk about mutual respect than it must be unconditional, in such kind of understanding both sides must be free to take action for the sake of their countries and no pressure on them that his ally may be demand for to more, to contain any alliance, but we when talk about the Pakistan united states relations then the above formula is not that simple actually its bit complicated.
If we have a look at the history of the two countries friendship, United States is always found more demanding than Pakistan that is why our officials made statement in every era like that “we will continue our friendship with US on mutual respect”. When any government changed in United States. As yesterday Pakistani spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch has said that Pakistan has stressed strengthening bilateral ties with the United States on the basis of “mutual respect and non-interference in each other’s domestic affairs” a day after Donald Trump clinched victory in the US presidential race.
Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch responded to questions regarding Pakistan-US relations during weekly press briefing. On the other hand one day before the above official statement the defense Minister Khawaja Asif had ruled out the possibility of receiving such a call from the new US administration in making to release ex-prime minster Imran khan he said in an interview “We don’t think Trump will call for PTI founder’s release. Let’s wait for 15 to 20 days and see what stand he takes,” said the defense minister.
During the same transmission PTI leader Raof Hasan said the party had never hoped that Imran would be released after Trump’s victory, adding that no such discussion has taken place within the parliamentary party.
If look at both those statements, their timing is the same that our officials and government are feeling unnecessary pressure of recently elected US President Donald trump that he can do
Such a demand.
we know that in the past our some officials or governments, played the role yes sir, which was criticized by ex-prime minister Imran khan so many time and even in the era of trump he deliver harsh statements that made a narration amongst the PTI worker that the khan government was dissolved by biden administration and now with reelection of Donald trump they think that new president can play a role to release IK.
On the other hand PMLN government is countering that narration but it is very weak position over in an issue that is not yet happened.
So statements like that would spread more rumors in the already polarized political society. Therefor the government should stop such irresponsible statements. Infect Pakistan and the US share a long history of bilateral relations involving cooperation in various domains including security, social uplift, business, etc.
According to the above Issue we also know that until now we have no such free foreign policy to trade with any anti US, state like Russia and Iran for our interests like natural GAS and energy that is a primary requirement of the country. Although from the last two or three years we are claiming as state that, Pakistan will not take part in any polarized world politics, thus the point is that the officials and ministers should give proper attention to Pak-US relations instead of nonissues like Ik phobia. It is hoped that the prime minster Pakistan mian Shehbaz sharif will use all his abilities to have good liaison with the upcoming trump administration for the betterment of the sinking economy and the problem of power and energy. If the Shehbaz and company prepare a good case for completion the TAPI, Gas pipeline project, it will be the game changer for the whole region to overcome on energy crisis but I could be possible when Pakistan have sound relations with the new US , administration.
