It also discusses the implications of regional power rivalries, including security concerns, economic partnerships, and diplomatic strategies. By examining historical and contemporary events, the research sheds light on Pakistan’s efforts to position itself as a key player in South Asia and how its involvement in global power struggles impacts its domestic and foreign policies. Ultimately, the study provides a nuanced understanding of Pakistan's strategic importance in the ongoing great power competition in the region.
