More than two years after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Pakistan is now facing yet another diplomatic challenge. Pakistan is among the countries from the so-called Global South invited to the Ukraine Peace Summit to be held in Switzerland on June 15 and 16. Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch confirmed at the weekly briefing last week that Pakistan was invited to the summit. However, sources said that Pakistan was likely to skip the peace summit as part of its efforts to maintain "neutrality." Meanwhile, the summit in Switzerland, which hopes to pave the way for a peace process in Ukraine, has drawn delegations from more than 50 countries.
