ISLAMABAD: Financial Times reports that Pakistan’s efforts to promote peace in the Middle East are creating unexpected setbacks for India.
According to Indian defense analyst Sushant Singh, Pakistan played a key mediating role between the United States and Iran during recent tensions. India remained outside the talks and lost influence in Washington.
Reports say Pakistan’s growing influence within a Middle Eastern bloc—including Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia—is forcing India to reassess its foreign policy.
Singh in his article adds that Pakistan maintains strong ties with China. Former US President Donald Trump preferred Pakistan’s field marshal as a mediator. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi faces diplomatic setbacks.
