Keywords:
Emerging, Relationship, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Etc.Abstract
Abstract:
Afghanistan and Pakistan are connected via borders for long,
but still, it will take a lot of time and painstaking effort to connect them
via hearts. The widened gaps incremented at times and decreased too
for some short periods. Both the neighbors are indeed focused on one
another. But the involvement of the third party most of the times,
developed the gap between the two. They dealt with several issues
having a direct bearing on their security and sovereignty since day one.
The matters were of different nature and did not allow them to consider
the concerns of one another. Things weren't painful but the situations
made them controversial. The two countries still cannot deny their
elongated involvement in the collateral issues and planning for the zone.
Current analysis and discussion will highly focus on the relationship ties
of Pakistan and Afghanistan at most. It will also add the role of US,
India and other neighbors in the locality but still, the main track and
focus will be the primary players called Afghanistan and Pakistan. A
wide range of issues will be discussed in the present context to judge the
matters and realize the level of concerns. In the historical prospect, they
accounted for the gap due to the enormous issues like Durand line and
Pakhtoonistan. In the later time, they bothered one another on the matter
of Soviet invasion. The latest one was the American invasion and the
long perusing battle of Taliban against foreign occupants. In all regards, Pakistan justifies being a helpful neighbor in so many ways.
Both the countries need to realize the importance of their geographical
location to maintain positive relations. It is essential to be safe from
factors like terrorism in the locality. In general, and over all, this article
will throw light upon relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan from
each and every single angle to have a full insight of the relations
between the two nations and its impact on the global community.
