POLITICAL appointments on key positions may not always align with the qualifications and expertise required for effective governance. Given the circumstances Pakistan has found itself in, a foreign minister with a strong foundation in diplomacy and international law would significantly benefit the country`s strategic interests.

At this pivotal moment, Pakistan faces a complex landscape that demands strategic agility. The re-election of Donald Trump adds an extra layer of uncertainty because of potential shifts in foreign policy that may directly impact Pakistan`s priorities, including the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

Indeed, navigating this intricate web ofinternationalrelationsis crucialto securing Pakistan`s strategic and economic interests on the global stage.

A more well-versed foreign minister will enhance Pakistan`s ability to communicate its foreign policy and manage diplomatic relations more effectively. Pakistan surely needs a full-time foreign minister appointed on the basis of field experience.
