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.
