The breakdown of Soviet Union (USSR) in 1991 resulted in the instinctive and surprising independence of five Central Asian states. Regional significance have increased, but not decreased, the influence of extra-regional strains on the post-Cold War which reshaped the geopolitical spaces and shift of deliberate logics in central and south Asia. Pakistan tried to emphasize and utilize its Muslim identity as the root to reconnect by using cultural and economic ties with its “natural” home i.e. central Asia .Pakistan also concentrated on realistic and mutual interests that Central Asian republics shared and tried to become active in an “extended neighborhood” beyond South Asia. This research paper strives to search the potentials and constraints that would be helpful in developing an inclusive economic zone in central-south Asia (mainly in Pakistan) for peace and affluence in the region. Pakistan can play a vital role in creating a cooperative energy grid that will bring together physically close suppliers and consumers and with the opening of commercial pipeline and transit routes linking the land-locked states of central Asia with the coastal state of Pakistan. The mega project of CPEC is a main step that will nurture and foster economic and energy ties at regional and intra-regional level. This research paper mainly demands to explore the possibilities and challenges for establishing a wide economic zone in central-south Asia (mainly Pakistan) and bring peace and prosperity in the region. Pakistan can play a vital role in creating a supportive energy network that will bring together geographically proximate traders and with allowing them lucrative viable pipeline and transit routes connecting the land-locked states of central Asia with the littoral areas of Pakistan.
