Produced by: FactTechz
Description: America’s support for Pakistan has a lot to do with geography. Pakistan sits at a crossroads between South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East. It borders Afghanistan, has a small connection to China through the Karakoram corridor, and is close to Iran and the Persian Gulf. This location makes Pakistan important for regional security, trade, and global strategic interests. During the U.S. war in Afghanistan, Pakistan’s role became even more critical. American forces relied on supply routes that went through Pakistani territory, and Pakistan’s influence over events in Afghanistan made it a necessary partner, even when relations were strained. Geography meant the U.S. could not afford to completely ignore Pakistan. Beyond Afghanistan, Pakistan also matters because of its position in South Asia. The U.S. wants to balance its close relationship with India with continued engagement with Pakistan. Supporting Pakistan helps America keep influence in the region and prevents it from drifting too far into the orbit of China, which is already Pakistan’s closest ally. At the same time, U.S. support has never been unconditional. Washington has often pressed Pakistan on issues like terrorism, nuclear security, and governance. Still, Pakistan’s geography gives it leverage. America may disagree with some of its policies, but the need for access, stability, and influence in the region keeps the relationship alive.
