‘Pakistan is useful to the world’: Former NSA Shivshankar Menon explains why countries still support Islamabad despite terror links

Shivshankar Menon says nations engage with Pakistan for their own interests. They find Pakistan useful, preventing its collapse. Pakistan has made itself valuable to both the US and China. Global concern over Pakistan-based terrorism has reduced. India's global position remains stable. Countries react to India-Pakistan conflicts based on their own interests. Diplomacy cannot change national interests, Menon adds.
