Washington: The United States\u2019 long-standing strategy of prioritizing India over Pakistan has failed to advance Washington\u2019s regional objectives, as more than two decades of this policy have neither safeguarded US interests nor fully aligned New Delhi with Washington\u2019s priorities in South Asia.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, an article published in the American magazine Foreign Affairs argues that the “United States bet on India, but that bet has not paid off”, warning that India remains both unwilling and unable to align itself with US preferences in the region.<\/p>\n
It added that New Delhi has repeatedly fallen short of American expectations, including by adopting a neutral position on Russia\u2019s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Calling for a policy rethink, the article urges Washington to \u201crebalance its commitments in the region\u201d and build closer ties with Pakistan without abandoning its partnership with India.<\/p>\n
The report stated that US President Donald Trump had praised Pakistan for its counterterrorism efforts and attempts to reduce tensions with India during cross-border clashes.<\/p>\n
It also pointed to recent developments in bilateral engagement, including a deal to maintain low tariffs in exchange for granting US firms exploration rights for untapped oil reserves in Pakistan. Joint ventures in cryptocurrency and the mining of critical minerals are under discussion, the magazine reported.<\/p>\n
US investment in Pakistan\u2019s resources sector \u2014 including the Reko Diq copper and gold mine \u2014 could help stabilise the region, the report said, while warning that a one-sided policy favouring India would \u201cdeepen fault lines in South Asia\u201d and increase the risk of conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
