ISLAMABAD: The relations between Pakistan and India plumbed new depths in 2020, a year marred by periodic verbal duels, summoning of diplomats and rhetorics by Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is facing mounting pressure from the Opposition to step down in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic that has battered the country s fragile economy.
Bilateral ties suffered a series of blows in 2019 after Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terror group killed 44 CRPF soldiers in Pulwama, prompting India to carry out air strikes on terror training camps in Balakot.

Foreign minister’s statement does not explain why countries with worse rates of infection have not been barred
United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan on Sunday said his country’s decision to suspend visas for Pakistanis was a “temporary” measure prompted by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
In a statement issued at the conclusion of Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi’s two-day visit, Al Nahyan stressed that the travel ban introduced on 12 mostly Muslim states last month would soon be lifted. However, the statement did not shed any light on why travel from Pakistan was being discouraged while countries with much worse rates of infection, including the U.S. and India, have not faced any restrictions.
