Meanwhile, Pakistan\u2019s effective diplomacy strengthened Pak-US relations to new heights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report also notes that initiatives like the <strong>recovery of Reko Diq<\/strong> demonstrated Pakistan\u2019s reliability as a partner for Western investment. By presenting a transparent and modern framework for crypto and energy cooperation, Pakistan accelerated collaboration with the Trump administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foreign Policy further revealed that Trump publicly acknowledged Pakistan\u2019s role in promoting peace amid tensions with India, while the U.S. stance toward India remained comparatively lukewarm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmakers.com.pk\/en\/pakistan\/turkey-plans-to-build-advanced-combat-drone-factory-in-pakistan\/7379\/\">Turkey Plans Advanced Combat Drone Factory in Pakistan<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking ahead, Pakistan is expected to play a central role in critical minerals, regional peace, and global energy stability.
