[quote="Sandy_321"]Countries should not isolate themselves from the world. (Instead they should) engage (with) other countries. Do you agree or not?
The topic under (the) light is which policy should countries (adopt) regarding maintaining relationships with other countries. Either they can isolate themselves from the rest of the world, or they can engage (with) other countries. In my view, they should (with) engage others (countries) because in this ever changing world, support from kins(other countries) is like armour to the country.This is also important because it is not (only being) concerned with one individual or other, but with the entire nation.
Firstly, I think every country should make bilateral relationships with others because of (the) many advantages. One (obvious) advantage is trade. If the relations between countries are good, then trade will also burgeon. For example, take the case of the US and India. Both have very good relationships and they outsource (their) business mutually, (thereby) benefiting both. If either of them think of isolating (oneself) from others, then there is no chance of trading.
Secondly, a country has to maintain good relations for (whenever they might need) help and protection. It is only through engaging (with) other countries that a country can maintain (an agreement) to get help. For example, take Pakistan and the US. Both have good connections. In the present difficult times, Pakistan is getting aid from the US for averting a precarious situation. If Pakistan (had) isolated themselves from the world, then there (would be) zero probability of getting help from others.
Thirdly, a country should not isolate itself, so that peace can be maintained.
For example, take North Korea, the way that country is tackling issues related to nuclear power plants is not welcomed by the rest of the world. So there has been (an) everlasting suspicion that the country can attack at any time. So each time there is information that a nuclear activity is building in that country, other countries will be alert and ready to take (it) on. Isolation is one of the hindrances to world peace.
Finally, I think every country has strong and weak areas. Just by being strong in one or more, countries should not isolate themselves from the world. I think maintaining good relations should be at the top of the "to do" list of any country. This is important for (a) country's survival also.
As the saying goes,” United we stand, divided we fall”. All countries should unite so that there will be ever-lasting peace and joy.
Good. (25)
