Can Pakistan Be a Regional Counterbalance?

This paper discusses Pakistan’s recent endeavors to position itself as a sovereign state with central importance in balancing the Greater Middle East. This is evident by the country's efforts to combat terrorism and achieve progress in developmental, economic, and military fields in spite of the major challenges, both at the internal and external levels. In its reference to the new Prime Minister Imran Khan, who arose as a popular reformist leader, the paper highlights the principles of his strategy as well as the military aspect of Pakistan. Pakistan’s foreign relations with other regional countries were also examined in addition to the role Pakistan plays in these countries.
