Abstract
old relations, characterized by common historical, cultural, economic
affinities and spiritual links”. After independence of Pakistan these ties
were further strengthened. However, the Islamic Revolution in Iran (1979)
and the Soviet-Afghan war (1979-89) were two watershed developments
that defined the renewed geostrategic positions of Pakistan and Iran in the
emerging regional and global political and strategic alliances. However,
since 2001, when Pakistan became a frontline ally in the U.S.-led coalition
and war against the Taliban in Afghanistan, the two states have successfully
managed to maintain relatively normal relations, despite some persisting
irritants at the bilateral and regional levels. During the recent few-years
both the countries have come closer to each other and are cooperating in
the industrial, energy, cultural and economic sectors. Both the countries
have the potential to cater for the demands of each other and trade in the
products which are being imported from rest of the world.
