Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asif Munir and Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif consider themselves great world leaders.
Recently, Pakistan raised the Kashmir issue at the United Nations General Assembly, prompting a heated rebuke from India, telling it to first look within itself and address Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Previously, Pakistan signed an Islamic pact with Saudi Arabia and Turkey, stipulating that any attack by another country on any of these three countries would be considered an attack on all three. However, Pakistan’s first embarrassment was its refusal to provide military assistance when the Houthis launched a series of attacks on Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia, defeated, sought help from Israel, the same country Pakistan considers its biggest enemy. Where has the Islamic Pact gone now?
Shahbaz Sharif, despite Pakistan’s economic turmoil, considers himself a shrewd foreign policy player. Shahbaz Sharif and Asif Munir constantly seek ways to appease both the US and Russia simultaneously.
Pakistan initially took the initiative to broker a ceasefire between the US and Iran, with Shahbaz Sharif making the capital, Islamabad, its center, but the pact failed miserably. This is where Shahbaz Sharif and Asif Munir were embarrassed.
The duo doesn’t shy away from going to America and flattering Trump, while Trump himself is such that when he hosted a formal dinner for foreign leaders, he didn’t invite the Pakistani couple, instead giving Asif Munir the opportunity to have lunch alone.
Why should Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif lag behind? Shahbaz Sharif also faced severe embarrassment in Russia a few days ago. It so happened that Shahbaz Sharif went to Moscow, the capital of Russia, to meet Putin without an invitation, but he seemed to forget that whenever a head of state visits another nation, he is first given a formal invitation and red-carpet treatment.
There is a lot of discussion in the media that because Shahbaz Sharif went to Moscow without an invitation, he got the opportunity to meet Putin, but he did not receive the red-carpet treatment, nor the welcome and respect that other heads of state receive. It seems as if Pakistani leaders.
