India’s persistent focus on Pakistan and whether it is overshadowing broader strategic priorities is under renewed scrutiny, as Islamabad’s growing diplomatic visibility prompts debate over shifting regional dynamics.

In this episode of The Blue Newsroom, hosted by Amber Rahim Shamsi, the program examines Pakistan’s evolving international role and questions whether the country is emerging from diplomatic isolation into a more influential “middle power” position in Eurasia.

The discussion also explores recent high-level diplomatic engagements involving Pakistan, regional perceptions of India’s foreign policy focus, and the broader implications for South Asian geopolitics, with insights from former Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry.
