Pakistan and Afghanistan Relation: An Overview of Before and After the Government of Taliban

Abstract

Afghanistan and Pakistan have historically been close neighbours and share a wide range of characteristics, including geography, culture, ethnicity, and many more. Despite this, the two countries ties were never on a stable foundation. This study investigates if there have been better relations than the democratic government in Afghanistan ever since the Taliban took power in Afghanistan between 1996 and 2001. A number of national and international writers underlined the role that regional and international actors had in both sustaining and ultimately destroying the peace of the region. The main goal of this study is to examine the military, political, and social ties between Pakistan and Afghanistan as well as their effects on both countries. This research, which examined a variety of unresolved issues between the two nations, was based on analytical methodologies and employed primary and secondary sources. It is advised that the two nations work to improve their relations via diplomacy rather than engage in conflict.
