Abstract
The key objectives of this research are to investigate the key causes in up/down in the relations between Pakistan
and Afghanistan as well as to shed light on the foreign policies of the both countries that damaged the relations. This
research is based on the secondary and primary material collected from different reliable sources such as
government official records, newspapers, books and articles. For the analysis of the data, descriptive and deductive
methods have been used. The major finding of this research directs that Pakistan and Afghanistan have a zigzag
history towards their relations with each other’s. Further, Kabul and Islamabad mostly played the blame game
against each other’s, hence, there were number of challenges in enhancement of relations between both the nations
such as drug trafficking, refugee’s problems, use of each other’s land against each other, and Durand Land issues.
On the other hand, as both the countries have long border such as During Line and strong religious tries, hence, both
the states also took various positive actions and policies to get the various opportunities but more challenges.
