At present, there is a huge uproar in the corridors of international diplomacy regarding the relations between India and America, which has directly troubled the neighboring country Pakistan. US Ambassador Sergio Gore, who recently visited India, has given such a statement regarding Jammu and Kashmir, after which diplomatic activity has intensified from Islamabad to Washington. During his visit to Srinagar, Sergio Gore called Jammu and Kashmir “an important part of India”, and these seven words from his mouth have completely deflated Pakistan’s old and anti-India rhetoric. As soon as this statement of the American diplomat came out, there was a stir in the rulers of Pakistan and the Foreign Ministry and the American Ambassador was immediately summoned and their strong protest was registered. Geopolitical experts believe that this is the first time in the history of decades when a top US official has supported India’s sovereignty in such clear and frank words in the midst of regional diplomacy, due to which the Pakistan-backed lobby has been completely shocked.
Why is Pakistan upset with this visit and statement of Sergio Gore?
It has always been Pakistan’s endeavor that there should be mediation by a third country at the international level on the issue of Kashmir or that western countries should adopt a suspicious stance on it, so that it can spread false propaganda against India on global forums. But when US Ambassador Sergio Gore, during his meeting with Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and in a public forum, praised Jammu and Kashmir and described it as an important part of India, Pakistan’s ground slipped under its feet. Immediately after this statement, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry summoned the American Chargé d’Affaires (diplomat in charge) present in Islamabad and expressed its displeasure by handing over a formal demarche. There is mourning in the Pakistani media and political circles over the fact that a top envoy of the superpower America, which they have considered their traditional ally, has sabotaged India’s diplomatic efforts by imposing its seal on India’s internal affairs. Experts say that this development is a clear indication of how strong India’s stature has become on the global stage and now even the superpowers of the world are not at all ready to come under the pressure of Pakistan.
What is the meaning of changing global equations in the eyes of international experts?
Diplomatic experts and senior diplomats around the world believe that this statement of Sergio Gore is not just a simple comment, but it is a major part of America’s changing long-term policy in South Asia. According to former diplomats and international affairs experts, America has now understood well that India is its most reliable and strong strategic partner in the region in terms of counter-terrorism and economic stability. When the US envoy reached the valleys of Srinagar and praised the security reforms, development work and local leadership there, he also gave a befitting reply to the separatists and the ecosystem of Pakistan which had been trying to disrupt the peace of Kashmir for a long time. During this visit, the American envoy completely avoided meeting any separatist or anti-India elements, which in itself is considered a major diplomatic change. This proves that Washington has now completely come out of the old and ineffective policies regarding Kashmir and is keeping its defence, trade and strategic relations with India at the top.
Impact of India’s strong diplomacy and Washington’s changing stance on its future
The new dimensions that India’s foreign policy has established at the global level in the last few years have forced the major countries of the world to change their stance in favor of India’s national interests. India has always had a clear stand on the issue of Kashmir that it is a completely internal matter of the country and no third party mediation or interference will be accepted in it. The latest statements and visits of US Ambassador Sergio Gore have put an international stamp on this Indian claim, thereby giving India diplomatic leverage on both the domestic and foreign fronts. Although some opposition parties within India have given different reactions to this, but seen from the global perspective, this incident is a huge diplomatic blow for Pakistan which is becoming completely isolated in the international community. In the coming times, mutual cooperation between India and America regarding defense deals, technological partnerships and regional security is expected to deepen further, and such statements make it clear that the global superpowers are now firmly standing shoulder to shoulder with India on the issues of terrorism and sovereignty.
