An Evaluation of Islamic foreign policy in Pakistan Challenges & Prospects

Abstract

This research paper deals with an evaluation of Islamic foreign policy in Pakistan challenges & prospects. One of the main problems of Pakistan is the instability of its domestic and foreign policy, simultaneously it causes to weaken the state due to these major challenges. There is no doubt that foreign relations improve a favorable environment and equity-based relationships, which have a greater connection to our own domestic stability. Some of the basic principles which are formulated, when composing foreign policy in today's world have been discussed in this research which includes strong domestic policy, better relations with the other regional or neighboring countries, and the terms of the global foreign policy. Foreign policy matters along with friendship, and how countries together strengthen each other's interests. Dishonesty, skepticism, and accusation are the politics of mischief that usually cause problems by creating further mismanagement on foreign affairs. This creates reforms because foreign policy is never static and it changes with the conditions. It is also important to understand some major challenges which Pakistan faces in the context of foreign policy. These could be domestic political instability, economic instability, over-reliance on non-civilian military relations issues, disagreement with the neighboring countries and lack of policy due to consultation with individuals rather than institutions or religion. The problem is not that we, as nationalists, are deprived, but the real problem is the policy of ignoring the religious scholars, intellectuals and lacking the importance of such think tanks.
