#Pakistan - Gaps in diplomacy should be filled: Sherry Rehman

Former ambassador the US and PPP Senator Sherry Rehman pointed to the gaps in Pakistan's foreign policy, which she said were the foremost reason Pakistan was in a difficult situation internationally.
Due to the lack of a dedicated lobbyist in the US and a foreign minister, Pakistan had left the ground completely for four years, Rehman said.
"The gaps should be filled. The world can see the lack of governance and is taking advantage of how Pakistan has not responded."
She said Pakistan needs to have a balanced stance and neither be too aggressive nor too defensive in formulating a reply to the US.
"It is very difficult to move forward in this kind of environment," she said, adding that she could foresee a new era of foreign policy where "such things are said and such demands are made."
"There is also a lot of confusion on the American side and things will keep on getting worse if sober voices in the US do not control this," she added.
