Syria's Diplomatic Relations with Pakistan

Mr. Asaad Al-Shaibani's visit to Pakistan undoubtedly

carries a series of messages,

as Syria wants to diversify its relations with

different countries, including powerful Islamic nations, led by Pakistan.

Pakistan is a nuclear power that surprised the world in

the recent war with India, and has also entered into an alliance

with Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Undoubtedly, Syria

seeks to have allies by its side in light of

the ongoing Israeli escalation against

Syria. There may be a major obstacle to

Syria joining the Mecca Agreement, namely the clause in the agreement stating

that any attack on these countries or one of these countries is

an attack on the whole alliance, meaning that the circumstances

currently surrounding Syria

and the Israeli escalation are not in the interest of this

alliance in general, meaning that if Syria enters this

alliance, it would drag these countries

into a confrontation with Israel, and this confrontation

might trigger a world war. I believe that

these countries do not object to Syria joining this alliance,

But after Syria has arranged some sort of

security agreement with Israel that does not lead to

a dispute or military clash dragging these countries into

the war we mentioned. But in any case, these visits

are important. Syrian diplomacy is achieving successes

daily, whether by diversifying relations or we can also

say by diversifying friends, and perhaps

some friends could turn into allies supporting Syria

on an economic level, and also on the military level.

There are good relations between Syria and Pakistan. We cannot deny

that relations between India and Israel are distinguished, and thus

Pakistan is not on good terms with Israel, which means that

Syrian diplomacy is well aware of this in diversifying these

relations and in reaching countries that could

provide assistance on a military level

to Syria that does not reach the stage of an alliance,

but at a minimum, it gives Syria

room to maneuver in its negotiations, perhaps with

Israel, or allows Syria

access to modern weapons

that could make a difference in this conflict.

through which we see Israel acting

with the logic of arrogance and force, and the will

to impose something on reality.
