You are right, but I have also been very critical of our side. We lack many things and one of them is seriousness. Having potential is not enough. You also need to transform the potential into something useful.
Having said that, there is zero chance of good trading relations with Western nations in general. The Western nations have a very skewed view of Pakistan. That won't change anytime soon.
If I were Pakistan I would invest in regional trade which has a much higher chance of success. We also need to look at other parts of the world including Africa and South America.
