Infrastructure Development and Connectivity

Pakistan's infrastructure development, including ports and transport networks, remains uneven. While projects like the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) promise enhanced connectivity, delays and funding issues limit immediate benefits for trade facilitation.

US-Israel Strategic Relations

Strong bilateral ties with the United States underpin Israel's security and economic stability. US military aid, technology cooperation, and trade agreements enhance Israel's defense capabilities and market access, reinforcing investor confidence and facilitating cross-border business ventures.

This shift impacts international energy markets, supply chains for nuclear technology, and investment in renewable alternatives, influencing global energy trade and strategic partnerships.
