PHOTO: FILEThe strategic shift from geo-politics to geo-economics is a welcome initiative on the part of Pakistan government. In a world where the relative position of a nation is determined primarily by its economic strength, the focus on geo-economics embodies a logical response to the national and international challenges. All else equal, some countries because of their location are in a better position to attract trade and investment than others. Going by its strategic location, Pakistan should have become a trade, transport and investment hub. The new national narrative of geo-economics, if implemented in true letter and spirit, would help to realise Pakistan’s immense economic potential and capitalise on these opportunities.
