Modern Diplomacy in Pakistan and Afghanistan: Navigating Complexities and Building Connections

Abstract

This paper discusses the evolution of diplomacy in the context of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The traditional form of diplomacy, which involves state-to-state interactions, has been challenged by the complex and dynamic nature of the relationship between these two countries. Pakistan and Afghanistan have a shared history, culture, and geography, but also have significant political, economic, and security challenges that have hindered their ability to build a stable and productive relationship. This paper explores the various forms of modern diplomacy, including economic, cultural, and digital diplomacy, that have emerged in recent years and have the potential to help facilitate a more positive and constructive relationship between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
