Pakistan needs to sell its strategic position for global economic interests to WEST to EAST to Everyone!
Good idea - if it works.

You mean the other way round don't you? What can the US do for Pakistan to ensure a cordial relationship in a region where the US has run out of friends?That's great. But what can it offer in return to make such treatment possible? That is the key question.
Good article but see the comment section on Washington Post, 300 comments and everyone calling it a propaganda piece. Stating Pakistan as exporters of terrorism and how Osama Bin Laden was found here. No articles will help if the US citizens themselves hate Pakistan due to Indian propaganda over years and also ourselves to blame for Osama bin laden fiasco.

With the US withdrawal nearly complete, is that really what USA needs in the region?
It needs relationships something they have massively strained.
I don't think these calls will make any headway really. One must consider the influence of lobbies in Washington, among which the powerful ones are all working actively against Pakistan.There are calls from within USA to work with Pakistan and Afghan Taliban. This article is 2nd in a row for the same.
Pakistan should maintain pressure on USA to do the needful. Things will move forward eventually.
Yes, but any relationship going forwards must demonstrate a needed value for both sides.
The problem is many nations don’t see the US putting much value in.
I’m afraid the ramifications of this will be felt for years to come.
That is not a problem. After all, if any nation feels a relationship with USA does not add any (or sufficient) value for them, they can explore their other options to best serve their national interests, for example, as the Pakistani NSA has already said.
It's a problem for the US for sure, as they have for example a goal to counter China, however EU nations did made symbolic gestures regarding this, but now there is open talk of going their own way. The US is pretty much running out of partners to work with, much of it down to their policy.
I am sure USA will find its own way forward not only with the U, but many other nations as well, including China, just as I am sure that Pakistan will chart its own course to serve its national interests, with or without US support, with the present setup in charge. The best thing about international geopolitics is that things are never totally black and white, but always varying shades of grey, and even these shades keep on changing and are never constant.
Yes I agree, and indeed it is shades of grey and nothing is certain. However one thing is no doubt, the Afghan debacle has badly damaged the reputation of the US being a reliable partner.
