Abstract
Since the emergence of Pakistan the history of Pak-Afghan relations can best be analyzed
from conflict to cooperation. Some of the early problems are mainly responsible for
conflict and cooperation in both countries relations. After the establishment of
democratic setup in both states, different CBMs indicate positive sign in Pak-Afghan
diplomatic relationship. The drawdown of US forces has created security concern for
Pakistan and Afghanistan that the creation of power vacuum can push the country again
into civil war like situation. In such state of security Pakistan’s engagement to bring the
Taliban to the negotiation table will smooth the way for a broad-based government in
Afghanistan. Some of the Afghan domestic political issues also created mistrust i.e., the
refugee’s problem, cross border militant’s infiltrations, drug problem and issue of the
Taliban. However, the paper will highlight the measures to keep intact the reconciliation
more effective and replace the mistrust by trust. How domestic political issues effect their
bilateral relations and why various methods taken in the prescribe time not effective in
bilateral relations of the two states.
