Pakistan's security outlook remained severe in the closing stages of 2011, as terrorists continued to stage bomb attacks in Peshawar and other cities with apparent impunity. Relations with the United States and neighbouring Afghanistan also reached crisis point.
The Pakistani-US relationship in particular plumbed to new depths in late November 2011, as US forces operating in Afghanistan attacked a Pakistani border post, killing 28 Pakistani troops. Islamabad accused the American forces of launching an unprovoked attack, while the Americans claimed to have responded to incoming fire.
With the US seemingly starting to give up on Pakistan, Islamabad's alliance with China began to assume even greater importance. Gillani met Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in November and the two sides agreed to advance their economic and defence ties. The two countries are now also starting their push for export orders for their flagship joint military programme, the JF-17/FC-1 Thunder fighter aircraft, which they showcased at the Dubai Airshow in November. That month, the Pakistan Air Force confirmed it had now raised two squadrons of JF-17s, with a third due to be added in 2012.
