This study investigates the critical factors shaping the effectiveness of Pakistan's foreign policy, emphasizing economic, energy, environmental, and diplomatic dimensions. Employing multivariate regression analysis, the research examines the influence of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), energy security concerns, environmental sustainability perspectives, and diplomatic engagements on public perceptions of foreign policy effectiveness. The findings reveal that the economic benefits of CPEC significantly enhance the perceived effectiveness of Pakistan's foreign policy, with respondents linking positive economic outcomes to stronger foreign relations. Conversely, energy security concerns show no substantial impact on public perceptions, while attitudes toward environmental sustainability and diplomatic initiatives demonstrate a positive correlation. The study underscores the importance of integrating economic initiatives, environmental priorities, and robust diplomacy to strengthen public confidence in foreign policy. These insights provide valuable guidance for policymakers aiming to enhance the strategic effectiveness of a nation's foreign relations.
