Abstract

Pakistan, a South Asian country, is crucial to international trade networks. Yet it continues to be a defensive state, its danger perceptions always guiding the foreign policy. This security-driven trajectory for foreign policy may be attributed to a variety of factors, as it may result in multiple repercussions. The primary goal behind this descriptive study aims to rethink Pakistan's foreign policy with the intent to move its commercial and economic goals off of a secure community as well as towards a welfare society. The conditions underlying world relations have evolved towards security-based coalitions towards financial reliance. The CPEC, which stands for the China-Pakistan Economic offers Islamabad a tremendous chance to use their geo-economic as well as diplomatic influence along with income possibilities. Pakistan has transformed into a nation of welfare as well as a powerful nation as a result of a foreign strategy based upon financial as well as business relationships in neighbouring nations along with areas. In a nutshell, Pakistan may turn out to be similar Germany, who transitioned being a state of safety to an autonomous state of welfare.
