Embassy of Afghanistan in Pakistan

Pakistan and Afghanistan have a shared historical and religious background. Both countries have called themselves as an Islamic republic and both are the members of the SARRC ( South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation. The relationships between both countries have passed through ups and downs. After the partition and independence of Pakistan, Afghanistan voted against Pakistan to be part of the UN. Afghanistan immediately called most parts of Afghanistan like the current province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as its own. It was one of the main hurdles in the way of stable diplomatic relations.

Nature of Bilateral relations

  • Bilateral relations have always been poor. The Duran line, The border between Pakistan and Afghanistan that is considered to be a division of Pukhtoons on both sides of the border has always been the problem. The only vote against Pakistan in the UN was the sole vote cast by Afghanistan. Such intentions on the other side of the border led the diplomatic relations to be ceased from 1960 to 1963. Afghanistan supported militant organizations that claimed for separation. It also led Pakistan to close the Port of Karachi for the Afghan Transit trade.  
  • After Muhammad Daud Khan became the president of Afghanistan with the support of the Soviet Union, the skirmishes got more spark. Both countries have blamed each other for providing safe havens to terrorists and using them against each other. It has created anti-Pakistan sentiments in Afghanistan. Despite all this discontent and hatred for each other, former president Hamid Karzai called Pakistan as an inseparable brother in 2014.
