Foreign Relation of Pakistan

Guiding Principles:

The Guiding principles of  Pakistan's Foreign Policy are derived from the Pakistan Movement which embodied the struggle of the Muslim of South Asia for an independent and sovereign state wherein they could build a social order based on Islamic values and traditions.

For a State that came into existence as a result of its impelling sense of Muslim nationhood rooted in Islamic ideology, it was only natural that it should give its unreserved support to the liberation of Muslim still under colonial subjection, and to work ardently for the promotion of Islamic unity and solidarity.

Ethos of Pakistan's Foreign Policy is also determined by its experience of struggle against colonialism and its commitment to the principles and purposes of  the Charter of the United Nations, which hold out the promise for a just political world order in which nations can live in peace and security  and devote their energies for building a prosperous future.
