In a major diplomatic shift, Pakistan secures key leadership positions at the UN, while India faces growing isolation on the global stage.

Here's a breakdown of what's unfolding on the international front.👇

1/11
#India #Pakistan #UNSC #G7kicksModi

Pakistan has been appointed to pivotal roles in UN Security Council subsidiary bodies:
📍Chair of the Taliban Sanctions Committee (Res. 1988)
📍Vice Chair of the Counter-Terrorism Committee (Res. 1373)
📍Co-Chair of two informal working groups (Sanctions & Documentation)

2/11

These appointments mark clear recognition of Pakistan’s active engagement at the #UN, particularly in the counter-terrorism domain.
This comes amidst rising tensions in the region, following India's unsubstantiated accusations regarding #Pahalgam.

3/11

What makes Pakistan's rise even more strategic is the timing. Key international financial institutions have aligned support in quick succession:
📍 IMF: $1B on May 9
📍 ADB: $800M on June 3
📍 World Bank: $40B package under discussion

4/11

This financial confidence follows #OperationSindoor, signaling that the West and global lenders now see Pakistan as a stabilizing force in a volatile region.

5/11

Meanwhile, India’s aggressive posture backfired. Accusations against #Pakistan were unsupported by evidence, and no major nation backed India unconditionally. In contrast, #China, #Turkey, and #Azerbaijan stood firmly with Pakistan.

6/11

India’s foreign policy appears directionless. #PMModi's recent globe-trotting is increasingly seen as symbolic rather than strategic. His foreign visits resembled lavish NRI rallies more than meaningful diplomacy.

7/11

Recent #G7kicksModi underline that India, once courted is now left out entirely.
This diplomatic snub reflects growing skepticism over India's alignment, Modi's Policies, and lack of tangible contributions to global security debates.

8/11

India’s recent 7-group foreign delegations resembled luxury taxpayer-funded junkets. No bilateral breakthroughs, no clear win, just:
📍One formality speech in front of ANI mic
📍Modi, Modi in front of NRIs
📍Sight seeing, shopping, Singing
📍Dinner party with Ambassadors

9/11

Diplomacy is more than speeches and photo ops. #Pakistan’s quiet but strategic diplomacy has delivered, financial, institutional, and geopolitical gains. while #India’s performative outreach has yielded little more than headlines.

10/11

This isn’t just a PR win for #Islamabad. It is a geostrategic correction, where countries are rewarding substantive engagement over spectacle, and measured statecraft over populist diplomacy.
