During whose tenure were North Korea, Taiwan, and Cambodia recognized by Pakistan?

The correct answer is Bhutto. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's tenure (1971-1977) marked a significant shift in Pakistan's foreign policy, characterized by a more independent and non-aligned stance. During this period, Pakistan recognized several socialist and communist states, including North Korea, Cambodia (under the Khmer Rouge regime), and Taiwan (Republic of China). This move was part of Bhutto's broader strategy to diversify Pakistan's international relations and strengthen ties with the Third World. In contrast, Ayub Khan's era focused more on Western alliances, while Zia-ul-Haq's regime was largely influenced by the Afghan-Soviet war, and Benazir Bhutto's tenures saw different foreign policy priorities.
