Japan being one of the key players in the arena of international politics has
played a crucial role in bringing the stability and peace in Pakistan. Japan
and Pakistan have been enjoying strong affable relations for the last 60
years, this affiliation witnesses a multi-dimensional engagements and
development in the present and multifaceted prospects for the future. Since
1954 Japan has been extending its support to Pakistan in various fields
such as peace & security, trade & economy, and social welfare & relief
efforts especially aftermath of the devastating earthquake in 2005 and
recent super floods in 2010 and 2011.The story of successful, robust and
cordial relationship between the two countries has contributed a lot to the
earnest efforts at the both ends. This paper attempts to assess the security &
political, trade & economic, and socio-cultural relations between the two.
Furthermore, this paper also attempts to highlight strengths and
weaknesses of both the countries i.e. Pakistan is very rich in terms of
resources but lacks advanced technology; on the contrary Japan is well
equipped with advanced technologies but lacks resources. Therefore, both
the countries can benefit a lot in areas such as agriculture, mining, energy
and infrastructure by establishing cordial relations and mutual
cooperation.
