Issue brief

Given the seriousness of the situation and the increasingly negative cross border ramifications, which accrue from Afghanistan’s ‘descent into chaos’, it is imperative for its neighbours, especially India and Pakistan, to constructively engage on stabilizing Afghanistan. Considering the troubled nature of Kabul’s relationship with Islamabad, and the mutual suspicions and bitter history of Indo-Pak relations, the task of forging cooperation on Afghanistan is extremely tedious . Mounting a sound and viable joint Indo-Pak strategy in stabilizing Afghanistan, through cooperation on areas of mutual interest, would require a recognition and redressal of some of their key problems that hinder cooperation.


About the Series

Besides, the Institute is also organizing track-II dialogue between the two countries in October 2009 in Bangkok.
