Does the Public identify or care concerning the Foreign Policy?
The level of public awareness and interest in foreign policy in Pakistan varies depending on
factors such as education, socio-economic status, and access to information. However, in
general, foreign policy is an important issue for many Pakistanis, as it can have significant
implications for their country's security, economy, and international relations.
For instance, Pakistan's relationship with India, Afghanistan, and the United States are important
foreign policy issues that are often discussed and debated in the public sphere. Similarly,
Pakistan's role in the Islamic world, particularly in relation to Saudi Arabia and Iran, is also a
topic of interest for many Pakistanis.
That said, it is also true that many Pakistanis are more focused on domestic issues such as
poverty, unemployment, and political instability, and may not be as engaged with foreign policy
matters. Overall, the level of public knowledge and interest in foreign policy in Pakistan can vary
widely, but it is generally not an important issue for a majority of citizens due to the lack of
government platforms for public participation.
