Need to be seen as non-partisanThe Crown prince of Abu Dhabi is to visit Pakistan on Sunday while Imran Khan has already traveled to Saudi Arabia and UAE twice. The Gulf first got divided over Iran when three countries i.e., Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and UAE developed adversarial relation with it while Kuwait and Oman remained neutral. In 2017 a dispute broke out between Qatar on the one hand and the same three Gulf countries on the other. Iranian foreign minister was the first major dignitary to visit Pakistan to meet the new prime minister. If Pakistan cannot play the role of an honest broker in the Gulf, it should at least be seen as non-partisan.
