As of 2023, Pakistan does not recognize two United Nations member states: Armenia and Israel. Its relationship with India is also currently frozen.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Armenia: Pakistan is the only country that does not recognize Armenia's sovereignty. This stems from Pakistan's close relationship with Azerbaijan and its support for Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
-
Israel: Pakistan does not recognize the State of Israel. This is largely due to Pakistan's historical and continued support for the Palestinian cause. While there have been occasional discussions about normalizing relations, there has been no official recognition.
-
India: While not a matter of non-recognition of sovereignty, Pakistan's ties with India have been frozen since 2019. Diplomatic and trade relations have been significantly curtailed due to ongoing disputes, primarily concerning Kashmir.
