India’s Isolation Efforts in Pakistan Fails Amid Strong Global Ties for Country

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decade-long campaign to isolate Pakistan has largely failed, according to reports in Arab media. Since Modi’s 2016 announcement, Pakistan has maintained active diplomatic ties with major global powers including Washington, Beijing, Tehran, and Riyadh.

During the 2025 Pakistan-India tensions, Pakistan reportedly gained the upper hand in the global narrative as international community did not accept unsubstantiated claims made by India regarding the Pahalgam incident. US President Donald Trump described Pakistan’s military leadership as an “extraordinary personality.”

Pakistan’s unbreakable partnership with China has created a new regional reality, while relations with Bangladesh have significantly improved following Sheikh Hasina’s tenure end. The country is also emerging as a security partner for Gulf countries, contrasting Modi’s domestic policies that have reportedly damaged India’s international reputation.

Arab media highlighted Pakistan’s strategic use of minerals, investments, and diplomacy, attracting US attention. Trump claimed credit for over 30 Pakistan-India ceasefires, while India repeatedly denied his role, creating tensions between Washington and New Delhi on the issue.
