Rising domestic pressure is pushing Pakistan to publicly voice concern over pan-Islamic issues. But in doing so, Islamabad will seek to avoid exacerbating the country’s economic crisis by alienating trade and investment partners. During a May 3 meeting, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan urged the Islamabad-based ambassadors to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to work together to counter Islamophobia around the world. A couple of weeks earlier, Pakistan — which is home to the world’s second-largest Muslim population — also announced a global campaign to fight blasphemy against the Prophet Muhammad in the hopes of driving conversations with the European Union and the United Nations. On Jan. 13, Pakistani, Turkish and Azerbaijani officials met in Islamabad for their second trilateral meeting and signing of the Islamabad Declaration, in which all three nations expressed concerns over India’s treatment of the Muslim-majority populations of Jammu and Kashmir.
