Abstract

Due to geostrategic imperatives, Pakistan was forced to ally with a regional bloc at the start of the Cold War, which also happened to be the time of Pakistan's independence. Pakistan has always worked to counterbalance India's regional hegemonic ambitions while continuing to be an important member of the Islamic states' bloc. Pakistan is a young state striving to carve out its place in world affairs. Pakistan has thus continued to play a significant role in the coalition that the United States supports. Pakistan's foreign policy has continued to be security-driven due to its geographical location and a turbulent neighborhood. The main objective of this research is to elucidate Pakistan's foreign policy requirements while outlining the fundamental principles of foreign policy during the Pakistan People's Party and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz administrations towards USA. As a result of the shifting priorities of Pacific countries brought on by the shifting geopolitical environment, Pakistan now needs to reorient its foreign policy to serve its own national interests. Comparative Research approach has been used to analyze the Relations of Pakistan towards USA during PPP and PML(N) Governments.
