Pakistan is a peaceful Islamic country with nuclear capability. Pakistan has always sought to maintain friendly relations with its neighbours.
The following is an overview of Pakistan's relations with its neighboring countries:
India
Iran
The official religion of the Islamic Republic of Iran is Islam and the national language is Persian. Its currency is the Iranian Rial. The capital of Iran is Tehran. It is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. Due to its large oil reserves, it has an important place in international politics.
During Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's era, Pakistan and Iran got closer to each other. Iran not only provided concessions on existing loans, but it also provided more loans to Pakistan. This act helped Pakistan in lessening the ill effects of the 1971 Indo- Pak war, and doing restoration activity. Religious and cultural cooperation between Pakistan and Iran has helped both the nations to get closer to one another.
Afghanistan
After the establishment of Pakistan, Afghanistan recognized Pakistan in 1948 and thus began diplomatic relations. Afghanistan has a long common border with Pakistan. The two countries have strong ties of religion, history and culture. The history of people- to- people relations between the two states spans centuries, so the two countries have close and deep ties. There have been many ups and downs in the relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan at the government level.
