In Pakistan, several notable developments have occurred in the second quarter of 2025 in areas of politics, security, economy, and society, highlighting the country’s ongoing struggle to address numerous challenges and issues. The federal government has released the economic survey 2024-2025 and presented the federal budget for the 2025-2026 fiscal year amid mounting fiscal pressure and economic stagnation. Also, Islamabad has been actively engaging with South Asian countries, along with deepening ties with China. 

Four key developments are notable in the country’s landscape: First, the Army-backed Cholistan canal project in Punjab, which has provoked  discord between Sindh and Punjab provinces, resulting in intense confrontations in several districts. Second, Pakistan's efforts to improve bilateral relations with Bangladesh and Afghanistan. . Third, a substantial decrease in militant attacks was reported in the country, particularly in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, in the second quarter. However, the overall security situation remained precarious, and several people have lost their lives, reflecting a state of instability in several parts of the country. Fourth, the federal government has directed its focus towards its power sector, which is facing debt issues. For that, the government has planned institutional reforms to eliminate the PKR 1.2 trillion circular debt through measures like privatization of loss-making entities, providing low-interest loans, etc., to restore financial stability, crucial for the power sector.
 
Politics: Cholistan canal dispute and federal response
Pakistan is at a critical juncture where water stress, climate change challenges, and food insecurity is rigorously impacting the country's agriculture-driven economy. A major inter-provincial dispute erupted in April over the Cholistan Canal Project. As part of the Green Pakistan Initiative, a joint effort of the government and the Army, the Cholistan Canal Project was launched by Punjab Chief Minister Mariam Sharif along with the Chief of Army Staff, Asim Munir. The project aims to provide irrigation through a canal to the Cholistan Desert, which lies in the southern part of Punjab province, so that agricultural output can be increased in the province. The Cholistan Canal Project aims to irrigate a total of 4.8 million acres of barren land by constructing six canals—two each in Sindh, Balochistan, and Punjab.

However, the plan provoked resistance from Sindh Province.  The provincial government in Sindh expressed its unhappiness with the project as  the water availability data measured from the river which was used to justify the project, was based on flood time flows  and neglects the chronic low level of water flow in the Indus River at normal times. The project report also ignores the fact that from 1999 to 2024, two main structures in the Indus Basin, the Torbela dam, has only reached full capacity for 17 days, while the Mangla dam has filled up for merely four days in the last 25 years. Hence, it will be disastrous to divert the river’s water flow..

Sindh CM Murad Ali Shah warned, “The canal will not be built as long as the PPP exists”. Simultaneously, the Sindh High Court issued a stay on Indus River System Authority’s (IRSA) water availability certificate for the Cholistan Canal Project. WWF-Pakistan also expressed grave reservations over the project. The project ignited public dissent and clashes in Sindh, leading to tensions between the Punjab and Sindh provinces. Civil society members, including lawyers, students, farmers, laborers, and political representatives, have expressed concerns over what they perceive as unequal water distribution that could adversely affect the Indus River and its dependent communities. Its potential impact on Sindh’s shrinking delta, due to sea intrusion driven by reduced ecological flows, is the main concern of the people living in Sindh . Eventually, on 2 May 2025, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced the decision to withdraw the canal project following a decision made in the Council of Common Interests (CCI) meeting.

External Affairs: Strategic Trilateral Engagements
Pakistan participated in regional diplomatic engagements with two back-to-back trilateral dialogues facilitated by China. The  trilateral foreign affairs meetings in China have become vital in strengthening ties with Afghanistan and Bangladesh, although China’s influence remains significant. These meetings reflect a subtle yet strategic shift in South Asia’s geopolitical landscape.

A trilateral meeting between Pakistan, Afghanistan, and China was held in Beijing. All three countries agreed to expand the CPEC project to Afghanistan. It was also decided that the sixth Trilateral Foreign Ministers’ Meeting would be held in Kabul at an early, mutually convenient date. It proves to be a vital step in Pakistan’s foreign affairs to improve relations with Afghanistan. Another trilateral meeting was held between Pakistan, Bangladesh, and China. The three sides agreed that cooperation would progress with the principles of openness, inclusivity, mutual respect, and trust. They also decided to set up a joint working group to carry forward the points agreed upon in the meeting. With China’s role, the trilateral format creates an opportunity to ease tensions between Pakistan and Bangladesh through political and economic cooperation. It also allows Pakistan to adjust to regional shifts, particularly against India’s growing partnerships. Alongside these talks, Pakistan joined the fifth Pakistan–China Maritime Dialogue in Beijing, which focused on naval cooperation, maritime security in the Arabian Sea, and the protection of CPEC sea lanes. The discussions showed both sides’ concerns about regional maritime challenges and highlighted China’s continued interest in Pakistan’s coastline under the Belt and Road Initiative. 

Yet, despite these diplomatic achievements, the situation on the ground remains more complicated. China has agreed to railway projects in Afghanistan in the past, too, but no progress has been made so far. And ongoing Chinese projects in Afghanistan are also being targeted by Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) fighters, like in the Longan Hotel attack, where ISKP claims responsibility with a “anti-communist stance,” highlighting a continuous threat to Chinese investments in Afghanistan. The UN 2024 report also states that 6000 ISKP fighters remain active in different parts of Afghanistan. Also, border issues between Pakistan and Afghanistan are regularly leading to casualties on both sides, impacting bilateral engagement.

Security: Militancy and Infrastructure Targeting
Throughout the second quarter, the country experienced hundreds of militant attacks, resulting in major fatalities, including civilians and security personnel.The Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS) security report provided  data showcasing a slight decline in militant attacks. The majority of attacks took place in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces. Railways and gas pipelines became new targets, with the use of remote-controlled IED blasts.. Militancy has also impeded the region’s economic progress by decreasing investment and halting development projects.

Harsh measures taken by the government, relying on aggressive operations by the security forces, provide more impetus to militants. In the case of Balochistan, the current insurgency was catalyzed by then-President General Pervez Musharraf’s unilateral decision to construct Gwadar Port, bypassing constitutional structures including the National Assembly, Council of Common Interest, and the Balochistan Provincial government. The province has also been subjected to resource extraction, yet locals and the provincial government receive minimal benefits or returns, despite the fact that mining and energy extraction are constitutionally designated as a provincial and not a federal subject. Militancy, coupled with inadequate benefit sharing, continues to remain a long-term issue.

Economy: Power Sector Reforms
Pakistan’s power sector distress constitutes a protracted structural challenge that poses a major threat to the country’s energy security and economy. Massive circular debt, electricity theft and losses, and inefficient distribution remain critical challenges. In the second quarter, the central government  decided to undertake structural reforms, and the recent budget includes a plan to gradually eliminate PKR 1.2 trillion in circular debt over the next five years, with the objective of restoring financial stability. This budget for the upcoming fiscal year 2025-2026 sets out major plans, including the privatization of loss-making state-owned companies and a circular debt management plan for the Power sector.

Additionally, Pakistan’s macroeconomic outlook drew international attention during the quarter, reflecting fiscal consolidation goals and sectoral reforms. The United Nations projected Pakistan’s GDP to grow at 2.3 per cent in FY25, while the Economic Survey of Pakistan forecasted a slightly higher growth rate of 2.7 per cent, citing partial recovery in services and agriculture sector. However, industrial stagnation continues to constrain economic momentum.

Power sector crisis started to shape in the mid-2000s, under the Shaukat Aziz era, when focus was shifted to fossil fuel-based generation. In the 2010s, CPEC proved to be a major factor in power sector debt growth, where dozens of coal plants were built with the condition that Pakistan was obliged to pay fixed costs regardless of use. Also, the Chinese-built coal plants use imported coal rather than coal produced in Pakistan due to logistics and quality issues. Pakistan’s energy sector, despite an installed generation capacity of 46,605 megawatts, generated only 90,145 gigawatt-hours during the fiscal year, reflecting an average utilization of just 10,290 megawatts. This mismatch indicates broader economic stagnation. In FY25, Pakistan’s real GDP grew by just 2.68 per cent, driven mainly by services, while large-scale manufacturing, one of the largest consumers of electricity, contracted, and agriculture grew by only 0.56 per cent. With subdued industrial performance, electricity demand remains weak, rendering existing capacity investments fiscally unsustainable.

Conclusion
Overall, these developments in the second quarter of 2025 shows that Pakistan needs a more robust mechanism for inter provincial water disputes and a change is strategy to work on militant affected areas. The state has done well in terms of engaging diplomatically with South Asian countries like Bangladesh and Afghanistan and in case of economy, prioritizing fiscal reforms in several sectors, still evaluation of the progress will remain crucial. Despite a reported decline in militant attacks as per reports, the casualties remain high, and state cohesion is tested further by inter-provincial disputes during the Cholistan Canal issue amid rising climate change and water scarcity challenges. The proposed power sector reforms targeting the elimination of circular debt by 2026 seem ambitious and, if successfully implemented, could help restore macroeconomic balance, pushing towards economic stability in the country. However, for diplomacy to convert into balanced benefits and for reforms to be effective with fruitful results, stability at home is essential.
