Pakistan’s going into a new year after some rough times with politics and the economy including a messy election. Things inside the country might be getting a little more stable and there’s some hope for the economy but now the big worries are outside the country with foreign policy and security. These could be the biggest problems facing Pakistan in the year ahead.
People who watch these things think 2025 will be tough for Pakistan because the US might start being more aggressive toward China a close friend of Pakistan. This fight between the US and China could make things really hard for Pakistan to figure out its relationships with both countries. They’ll have to be careful with their ties while also watching for any other security problems that pop up inside or outside their borders.
Balancing these relationships will be a big job for Pakistan. With the US maybe putting on more pressure Pakistan will have to be very thoughtful about how it responds to this changing situation. It shows how tricky things are outside the country as it tries to move on from recent troubles at home.
