In February 2024, candidates supported by Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party secured victory in Pakistan’s elections. However, despite this success, Khan’s party is set to be sidelined from power as the second and third-largest political entities have agreed to establish a coalition government. Additionally, a bilateral agreement between the Maldives and India was made to replace Indian military personnel stationed in the Maldives with civilian experts. Notably, the Taliban abstained from participation in a two-day conference organized by the United Nations in Doha, Qatar. For further insights into these significant developments and others across nine South Asian nations in February 2024, refer to the March 2024 edition of the South Asia Bulletin available here.
