We can agree to disagree, but Shahbaz Sharif has been on a remarkable diplomatic run this year. The name “Pakistan” has probably reached every corner of the world.
Just look at the protocol on his arrival in Malaysia for his 3-day visit, a true reflection of the respect Pakistan is receiving globally.

🇵🇰 ABABEEL MIRV-CAPABLE BALLISTIC MISSILE
Pakistan’s strategic game-changer the Ababeel MRBM brings MIRV capability to South Asia, enabling the saturation of regional missile defenses and reinforcing credible minimum deterrence.
🎯 Role: Strategic deterrence | BMD penetration | Assured second-strike capability
🛰 Range: ~2,200 km covers entire Indian landmass
⚡ Propulsion: Solid-fuel, road-mobile rapid launch & reduced vulnerability
☢ Warhead: Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicles (MIRVs)
🧭 Guidance: Inertial navigation with advanced post-boost vehicle for warhead separation
🧠 Advantages:
• Defeats layered missile defenses
• MIRV technology = multiple targets from one launch
• Solid fuel = fast reaction time & mobility
📝 First Test: 24 January 2017 — continuing quiet development.
Ababeel represents a qualitative leap in Pakistan’s strategic missile capabilities, countering evolving regional defense systems and ensuring deterrence stability.

‼️🇵🇰 🤝 🇺🇸
The much needed and requested AIM-120D AMRAAMs have been cleared for Pakistan!
It is one of the most advanced beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile in the world, featuring a range exceeding 160 km (100 miles), GPS-assisted inertial navigation for mid-course guidance, two-way data links for real-time target updates, enhanced electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM), and a high-explosive warhead with improved lethality.
This “fire-and-forget” beast will supercharge the Pakistan Air Force’s F-16 Block 52 fleet, giving PAF unmatched superiority in contested airspace, especially against regional threats.
This development also signals a potential strengthening of US-Pakistan defence cooperation, as Islamabad seeks to maintain balanced ties with major powers.

🚨 🇵🇰 Pakistan’s Economy Shows Signs of Revival
Pakistan has emerged as one of the most improved economies globally in terms of sovereign default risk, according to Bloomberg Intelligence.
Key highlights:
✅ Default Risk Down: Sovereign default probability dropped from ~59 % to ~47 % over the past year — the sharpest decline among emerging markets.
✅ Growth Target Raised: Government aims for 4.2 % GDP growth in the upcoming fiscal year (up from ~2.7 %) as reforms take hold.
✅ Policy Moves: Central Bank kept interest rates steady after earlier cuts, supporting demand while inflation remains under control.
✅ Fiscal Discipline: A “no-frills” budget focuses on tax reforms and deficit control to stay in line with IMF commitments.
⚠️ Structural Risks Remain: Political instability, governance issues, and energy sector challenges could still weigh on long-term growth.
✍️ Bloomberg analysts say sentiment is improving, but sustained reforms and stability are crucial to keep this momentum going.

I’m going to share my perspective on the Pasni Port situation, along with a deeper analysis because there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye.

📝 🇵🇰/🇨🇳🇺🇸 Pakistan Floats $1.2B Port Idea to the U.S. in Pasni
Pakistan has reportedly floated a $1.2B commercial port project to the U.S. in Pasni, Balochistan. If it goes ahead, it could quietly shake things up in the region.
The idea is simple. Washington builds and invests in a civilian port, and in return, it gets favorable access to critical minerals. For the U.S., that’s a potential new route to rare earths in Asia, which China currently dominates.
Now, the location is key here. Pasni sits roughly 60–70 miles from Gwadar Port (which is Chinese-operated under the BRI) and about 100 miles from the Iran border. The plan involves connecting Pasni to Pakistan’s mineral-rich north through new rail lines, turning it into a strategic export corridor.
Islamabad has already made it clear this wouldn’t be a military setup. Pakistan doesn’t allow foreign military bases, and that policy isn’t changing. The U.S. wouldn’t be leasing land or running operations like in other regions. It’s strictly investment, with Pakistan keeping full control.
This isn’t a signed deal, more of a signal. Islamabad seems to be playing its cards smart, keeping its ironclad partnership with China intact while exploring ways to bring in U.S. capital. Think of it as Pakistan quietly opening another door without closing the existing one.
If this idea gains traction, Pasni could become an unexpected hotspot in the bigger U.S. - China rivalry. For Washington, it’s a potential alternative supply route.
For Islamabad, it’s classic Pakistani geopolitical chess, leveraging both sides to push development at home.
That’s my take on this idea so far. Of course, there’s also a military angle to consider, especially in terms of improving security and countering extremist groups in the region. But I wanted to keep that aside for now and focus mainly on the economic and strategic dimensions for Pakistan.
