In the present day, highly connected and communicating world, Pakistan shall have to expand its economic links through expansion of Trade and exchange of services to accomplish favourable connectivity with rest of the world. This would remain the keyword to establish a favourable Strategic Neighbourhood for Pakistan. Though Pakistan has four immediate neighbours with whom positive interaction was mandatory, while Pakistan also needed to establish strong economic ties with major regional and international powers, active in the region.
