Abstract
This study examines the foreign policy of Pakistan in the changing dynamics of the region by considering the existing issues and new opportunities for the country. Pakistan’s geographical position between South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East affects the priorities in its foreign policy relations. Past conflicts, security threats, and economic dependency are the factors that shape the foreign policy of the country. The research utilizes a qualitative methodology, with the use of secondary data sources, policies, and regional cases for analysis. The findings of the research show that the country is constrained from being more influential in the region due to conflicts with India, uncertain situation in Afghanistan, and lack of cooperation with Iran. However, the economic cooperation with China via CPEC increases the country’s influence. Pakistan needs to work for balanced diplomacy and increase regional economic integration while emphasizing dialogue in order to achieve stability.
