Pak-Afghan Relations and Taliban Factor

    Pakistan and Afghanistan both are states that have not enjoyed cordial relations with each other but both have common characteristics in their culture, religious affinity and geopolitics. There has been a perception of Afghans about Pakistan that it is the only country that paved the way for foreign powers to militarize Afghan territory. On the other hand, Pakistan always remains distrustful of Afghanistan over its pro-Indian policies leading to unrest in Baluchistan and FATA. Hence the situation of both countries has reached such a level that they can't afford any type of hostility, misadventure and mistrust. This paper analyzes how these factors of distrust between both countries will drive the relations after the reemergence of the Taliban in Afghanistan.¬¬¬ The paper also aims to how Pakistan has responded to the reemergence of the Taliban after the withdrawal of the US from Afghanistan.
