Abstract

The solitary confinement and survival in international system is
nothing but day dreaming. There-of, a state is supposed to build
eminent relations with neighboring and regional states for the
economic, social and political motivations. Since its inception on the
map of earth, Pakistan, in one way or the other has been trying to
build strong relations with the neighboring states, regional powers and
Super power. The Pakistan & United States of America’s relations
have been termed out to be ‘Roller-Coaster ride’ as after emergence
on the map of earth, the first Pakistani Prime Minister, Liaqat Ali
Khan visited United States instead of Russia. Because, the United
States secretary of state Henry Kissinger once said; ‘We don’t have
permanent enemies or friends, rather our interests are permanent’.
This paper will pinpoint Pakistan’s relations with the United States of
America after the incident of 9/11, 2001 and the dynamics and
prospects of 21st century.
