Once again, a number of notable events allow us to address the situation in and around Pakistan. Both what happened recently and what is expected to happen in the near future. Among these, of course, the most important is the factor of the forthcoming general elections to the country’s parliament. The term of its current membership expires at the end of the summer, but the exact date of the procedure for electing a new one has not yet been determined. There is only talk of “October” or simply “the end of the year”. The main attraction of this upcoming event is the participation of the leadership of the Pakistan Movement for Justice…

La presse mondiale rapporte de plus en plus souvent que l'alliance militaire de l'OTAN dirigée par les États-Unis envisage de s'étendre à la région Asie-Pacifique. L'idée a été lancée par le président américain Joe Biden lors du sommet de l'Asie de l'Est le 27 octobre 2021, où il a déclaré : « Nous envisageons une région indopacifique ouverte, interconnectée, prospère, durable et sûre, et nous sommes prêts à travailler avec chacun d'entre vous pour y parvenir ». Plus tard, le 11 février 2022, la Maison Blanche a publié un document intitulé « Stratégie indopacifique des États-Unis », qui expose la politique du président Joe Biden visant à restaurer « le leadership américain dans la région indopacifique ».
