Abstract
The trend of improvement seen lately in Pakistan-Russia relations that remained tense for more than a half century augurs well not only for the two states but also for the two regions of Central and South Asia. It is going to help curb the rise of extremist forces and terrorism which have posed serious threats to not only regional peace and stability but economic development also particularly since the start of the conflict in Afghanistan which the two regions surround on all sides. If Pakistan and Russia are able to leave behind the legacy of their sour past the potential and opportunities to strengthen their relationship through trade, investment and collaboration in energy and defence sectors are immense. This study aims to analyze the different phases of Pakistan-Russia relations and the dynamics of the current rapprochement if it proceeds without hindrance and their impact on the geo-political and security environment of the region. In the end recommendations are suggested that may facilitate the reset in Pak-Russia ties.
