Pakistan did not join at the last minute
Pakistan did not attend the first World Democracy Conference at the last minute. However, the US had also invited Pakistan to this conference. Apart from India, Pakistan, the US had invited Nepal and Maldives from South Asia. The US did not invite both Russia and China for this conference. America has tension with these two countries. When America also invited Taiwan to this conference. This infuriated China even more.
It is believed that under the pressure of China, Pakistan has refused to attend this conference at the last minute. However, the US has not yet reacted to Pakistan’s refusal. Overall, after this conference, there can be a sharp uptick in global politics in the coming days.
