The future of US-Pakistan relations Ft. Mr. Cameron Munter


In conversation with Mr. Cameron Munter, Former US ambassador to Pakistan, this episode discusses the future of the diplomatic ties between Pakistan and the United States. The conversation focuses on the questions of how does the US view Pakistan? What is the future of US-Pakistan relationship? How do the Pakistan-China relation effect Pakistan-US relations? Is America ready to view Pakistan as a potential Geo-economic partner as opposed to a Geo-strategic partner? Will American businesses invest in Pakistan? Will America partner up with Pakistan in developmental projects like China did? How does an American view the Asian region? Does the rise of authoritarianism around the world pose challenge for the American democratic model? Is technological advancement a threat to democracy around the world? What does today's America stand for? What will come out of the current US-India relationship? Are the US repeating their mistakes from the past? Where do you see Pakistan in 30 years?

USA is unlikely to abandon Pakistan completely. But with USA vs China engaged in a bitter rivalry bordering on 'Cold' war, Pakistan has to keep walking on tight rope. IMHO Pakistan main problem is not so much her relations with the USA but her weak economy and the increasing religious militancy. When you add uncontrolled population growth to it; it makes a recipe for economic disaster.

A very capable leader is needed to put Pakistan on the right track. Regrettably, the task is far beyond the capability of either Imran Khan or the Sharifs and the Zardaris. It therefore appears likely that my compatriots would have to endure poverty & hardship for the foreseeable future.

There is also a return to a lot of the same rhetoric of the 90s by the US. Except a lot more open to India because of their economic development. Pakistan will need to catch up economically to maintain parity politically and militarily (on top of some key reforms at home to build better governance, which should improve the image overseas)

Pakistan should aim for corruption free society, better governance and economic reforms.

Sums up well.
Yes, the current crop of leaders are not visionary. Forget Zardaris and the Sharifs, Imran Khan is also not a 'visionary' but he is trying hard despite the political limitations he has.

i never understand the difference between geo-strategy and geo-economics

Pakistan needs to up its economic game if wants better terms with China or the US. It should be Pakistan who should be exploiting Afghanistan’s mineral wealth and not the Chinese.
