Pak-Afghan Relations Post NATO WithdrawaI

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze Pak-Afghan relations in the aftermath of NATO's withdrawal from Afghanistan, focusing on the political, economic, and security dimensions of bilateral ties. The withdrawal led to significant shifts in regional dynamics, impacting border security, trade, and diplomatic engagement between the two nations. Pakistan's role in fostering stability, addressing cross-border militancy, and managing refugee crises remains critical in shaping its foreign policy towards Afghanistan. Additionally, the influence of regional and global actors has further complicated the geopolitical landscape. This study explores both the challenges and opportunities for cooperation, emphasizing the need for strategic dialogue and policy coordination to ensure long-term regional stability.
