India and the world will take Pakist­an seriou­sly only when we unleas­h our true econom­ic potent­ialEvery year on the 5th of February, Pakistan observes Kashmir Solidarity Day. In this changing scenario, what Pakistan needs to do is to formulate its Kashmir strategy based on realism. It is foolish to think that India would give any concessions to Pakistan on Kashmir knowing where today we stand economically.

Only an economically powerful and politically stable Pakistan can guarantee a better bargain on Kashmir.
