What we offer to Russia is that We offer a cometitive bidding as per international SOPs, but contrary to this Russia wants a direct contract awarding facility from Pak govt.
As far as action against Haqqanis is concerned, Pak govt and military do not see Haqqanis as a hostile force challenging Pak state. Instead, Pak sees Haqqani group as 'Good Talibans', who are ready to accept dialogue and can facilitate any political settlement with the warring Talibans in Afghanistan, since they are Pushtun and have close links with Taliban (Pushtun) in Afghanistan.
The future foreign policy will be some thing like this:
US-Pak reproachment over Afghanistan 2014 endgame.
2. Pak may take cosmatic actions against Talibans (Haqqanis). Hence, Pak will play a key role in facilitating a political dialogue.
3. Pak foreign policy in US-Afghanistan game will be seen from Indian perspective, as Pak does not want India to take hegemony in Afghanistan.
4. Pak-US ties will remain in the cold stagnation as US will wait for the next Govt after the Polls to set new foreign policy parameters and understandings.
5. Relations with Russia will be dominated by Pakistan commitment towards energy cooperation in the region especial TAPI and IP and CASA 1000.
6. How Pak will assist Russia in developing a new road-rail link (energy corridor) in the region from CARs to Afghanistan and then to Pak and India.
7. How Pak will chew on the US bait as the 2014 deadline approaches.
whereas, Pak govt will try to broker a peace settlement which is not hostile to Pak interests in Afghanistan.
2. Pak will want foreign forces to exit as early as possible.
3. Pak military will continue to fight militancy.
4. Relations with India will be dominated by Pak role in prosecuting Terrorists.

Thanx for correcting me ,I have heard road shows are conducted .Yes ,MoU has been signed 23 May 2012 .But you are saying we want to become strategic partner on the basis of equality.Pakistan has softened its diplomacy for all regional powers like Iran ,CAS and India ,China.Like we resolve xinjiang issue by accepting terrorist are being trained from FATA. We have signed many Mou with Iran.President Zardari is meeting with CAS in person .But we sidelined all our issues like sir creek ,siacheen (despite of massive avalanche ) ,kashmir and water issues .we come to trade and cultural exchange progrmmes .S.M. khrishna did not given a single interview to any pakistani journalist whereas Hina Rabbani khar interviews inundated Indian channels . The main point is
1. we did not establish our relations with any regional our global state on the basis of equity like
1.USA
2.India
3.china
4 .Iran
so how you may say we can established diplomatic dealing on the basis of equity ?
Haqqani issue has become bone of contention between Pak and USA,India. We know RAW and CIA presence in Baluchistan as well as USA congressmen have supported sub-states;Baluchistan as sovereign national state.We show cosmetic diplomacy ? NO i do not think so we show because Haqqani network issue will decide USA exit strategy.
You have imagined well US-Pak relations in the light of endgame but I am not agreed with your stance.
Do you think we can afford isolation? We can not at any cost that`s why delayed our foreign policy by blocking NATO supply routes . The delay in foreign policy is not a foreign policy as well .so we don`t have relations with Russia as per your description neither with USA .How we can sustained in the region .It means India is sole power ???
I am not foreseeing dominance in future neither in presence.How you may say pakistan is dominant?
