ISLAMABAD: Experts and intellectuals have cautioned that the evolving US China strategic competition will have serious implications over Pakistan’s foreign policy and would create new regional alliances.

The speakers discussed various dimensions of the subject from the theoretical and practical perspective and suggested policy recommendation for Pakistan under the developing scenario.

The seminar was organised by Centre of Pakistan and International Relations (COPAIR).

COPAIR President Amna Malik said the global peace and diplomacy was the focus of the seminar and discussed means to tackle global issues and US-China strategic competition.

The COPAIR president reckoned that the competition of the great powers is impacting Pakistan directly and indirectly, because this century is the century of strategic alliances and innovations.

Speaking on the occasion, Head of Department International Relation in Numl University Dr Mohammad Riaz Shad highlighted the containment policy of the US against China in Obama, Trump and Biden administrations. Besides, Dr Riaz discussed the trade war and regional alliances of the both Powers.

On his opening remarks, Dr Riaz suggested that Pakistan should adopt balanced approach and neutrality.

Writer and columnist Prof Zamir Awan expressed that Pakistan is a window for China. Pakistan helped China during China economic blockade by the US.

Dean of Social Sciences in Islamic International University Dr Amna Mahmood also spoke at the occasion.
