Abstract
The element of mistrust in Pak-Afghan relations is not a new
phenomenon; in fact, it has a long history. Their bilateral relations
have been frail and fragile, based on mutual mistrust and acrimony,
which have discouraged the two countries to forge closer ties. PakAfghan mistrust is the result of destabilizing measures carried out by
both the countries. This paper presents the historical perspective of
Pak-Afghan relations in a chronological manner. Moving in this order
provides a broader and deeper base to understand current and future
prospects and policies. Moreover, it examines the nature of
relationship between Pakistan and Afghanistan, the factors that
strained their relations and their implications for both the neighbors. It
also focuses on the evaluation of Pakistan’s relations with Taliban and
its impact on Pak-Afghan mistrust. Understanding geneses of mistrust
will be helpful in formulating future policies based on mutual trus
