SEATO and CENTO 1954-55 Pakistan’s relations with the United States developed against the backdrop of the Cold War. Pakistan’s strategic geographic position made it a valuable partner in Western alliance systems to contain the spread of communism. In 1954 Pakistan signed a Mutual Defence Agreement with the United States and subsequently became a member of SEATO (South East Asian Treaty Organization) and CENTO (Central Treaty Organization). The U.S. agreement to provide economic and military assistance to Pakistan and the latter’s partnership in the Baghdad Pact CENTO and SEATO strengthened relations between the two nations.
