Economic Security and Diplomacy in the Times of COVID-19
- There is a need to increase the national resource pie by balancing the pillars of national security, i.e., military, human and economic security side by side.
- Pakistan needs to have an unapologetic, bold, and pragmatic approach for its long-term national security vision.
- To improve the global image of Pakistan, there is a need for diplomats to push back against anti-Pakistan campaigns and narrative.
- In order to get national plans implemented, there is a need to prioritize the MOUs signed between Pakistan and ally countries.
- Pakistan should change its old dependency approach towards the United States and other countries. Issues like increasing economic investment and bilateral trade should be discussed rather than focusing only on Afghanistan and Pakistan’s mediating role.
