Abstract
Pak-Afghan relations went sour in current time due to the rising negative
perception and trust deficit between the two countries. The Afghan authorities
held Pakistan responsible for the security deterioration of their country
irrespective of the fact that Pakistan has persistently been paying ‘heavy price’
for the Afghan peace and offered huge sacrifices for the stability and security of
Afghanistan. Currently the relations between the two countries is estranged if not
totally broken, however, a peaceful, prosper and friendly Afghanistan is
Pakistan’s strategic priority and a matter of national interest. This paper aims at
exploring and analyzing the strategic interests of Pakistan, its role and
involvement in Afghanistan for the realization of its national interests. This
research mainly focuses on Pakistan’s previous role and present position in the
light of its vital interests. The study also seeks to evaluate the required conditions
for the revival of bilateral relationship and bringing peace and security in the
region.
