Pakistan’s westward turn — strategic depth or overstretch

Pakistan's westward turn is a significant shift in its foreign policy, with the country expanding its influence in West Asia. This move brings both opportunities and risks, as Pakistan seeks to increase its strategic depth and economic ties with the region. The expansion of Pakistan's role in West Asia may provide new avenues for trade and investment, but it also increases the country's exposure to regional conflicts and geopolitical tensions.

Why it matters

Pakistan's expanding role in West Asia could bring new economic opportunities, but also increases strategic risks. This could lead to a mix of positive and negative outcomes for Pakistan's economy and markets.
