Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif'S Upcoming Visit To Moscow For Cooperation

Pakistan is facing heightened strategic challenges as it navigates a complex geopolitical landscape, particularly in light of India's deepening defense ties with Israel. Recent discussions highlighted by Kamran Khan indicate that India's defense agreements with Israel, estimated at $8–10 billion, significantly enhance its air defense capabilities, reshaping the security dynamics in South Asia. This shift places Pakistan under increased pressure, especially as it contends with escalating tensions along its border with Afghanistan, where recent cross-border shelling and airstrikes have marked a critical turning point in relations. Ambassador Tahir Hussain Andrabi's warning of a swift response to threats from militant groups in Afghanistan underscores the urgency of the situation, as Pakistan protests the use of Afghan territory for attacks.
