Significance
Separately, Pakistan is drawing closer to its ‘all-weather’ partner China, a key US rival. Washington’s strategy in the Indo-Pacific increasingly revolves around pushing back on Beijing’s regional influence.
Impacts
The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor will continue to be a source of tension in Islamabad-Washington relations.
A downturn in ties could prompt US suspension of Pakistan’s participation in the International Military Education and Training programme.
Worsening instability in Afghanistan will inhibit the completion of US-backed regional infrastructure projects that involve Pakistan.
