In the complex world of international diplomacy, the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan have raised significant questions about the role of third-party mediation.
As these two nations grapple with long-standing issues, the potential for external actors to facilitate peace remains a critical topic.
International Economic & Energy Analyst Osama Rizvi, touched on this subject during a recent interview on AnewZ.
His comments shed light on the dynamics of mediation and the potential challenges countries face when trying to intervene in such a delicate geopolitical situation.
Osama Rizvi was asked about the possibility of a mediator stepping in between India and Pakistan to help facilitate the peace process.
Rizvi shared his thoughts on the complexities of choosing an appropriate mediator, particularly given the region's volatile political environment:
"Once again it relates to Geopolitics 101, if we talk about U.S. as being one of the mediators, we need to remind ourselves like Pakistan, we are key ally of China, we are under CPEC, so we will have to address that difficult diplomatic domain as well."
He also pointed out several countries that have already played significant roles in mediating regional conflicts:
"Qatar has proven to be a mediator as well. Saudi Arabia can do it too, Türkiye of course," he added
However, Rizvi highlighted the difficulties of involving global superpowers such as the U.S. and China in the mediation process, stressing that their broader geopolitical interests could complicate matters.
"So with U.S. and China it would be tricky because the greater game of power would come into play and it will be difficult for countries like Pakistan, India to you know navigate that."
Rizvi’s insights on the issue expresses a thoughtful analysis of the challenges surrounding potential mediation between India and Pakistan.
While regional players such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Türkiye may offer a more balanced approach, he also pointed out the complications that would arise if larger powers such as the U.S. or China were to step in.
His reflections highlight the delicate nature of international diplomacy and the intricate power dynamics that countries such as India and Pakistan must navigate.
