ISLAMABAD – Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said Pakistan has shifted its focus from geopolitics to geoeconomics amid a current escalation of strategic competition among global powers.
Addressing at Margalla Dialogue Forum in the country’s federal capital, Qureshi said Pakistan values its longstanding relationship with Washington and expect to continue it in line with Prime Minister Imran Khan’s vision.
The minister said that we are looking for multifaceted ties that were not susceptible to the vagaries of regional and international policies. “Recent strategic rivalry between the world powers has added to the nuances of global peace,” he said while emphasizing that the importance of geo-economics must be acknowledged.
