Foreign Policy on Pakistan-India Relation
FOREIGN POLICY
PAKISTAN AND INDIA

FOREWORD
The document is an attempt to see Pakistan’s external relations with its immediate eastern neighbor, India, in a contemporary light. The strategies recommended in this policy come from the belief that Pakistan’s stable internal security and Pakistan’s elevated presence in the global economy are principal dictators of its Foreign Policy.
An aggressive, liberal and a pro-active foreign policy makes way for improved ties with the nations of the world.
Predictably, the regional scenario of South Asia, particularly of the region encompassing the countries of Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, China, Iran, Nepal, Bangladesh and the Central Asian States is likely to remain volatile in the near future. Pakistan is a stakeholder in the scenario and regional instability is inadvertently going to have a decelerating influence on the country’s road to peace and progress. With Pakistan and India’s relation being strengthened via the tools of negotiations and diplomacy, it can be expected that inter-regional cooperation will be catalyzed. Thus, better ties between the two most significant neighbors in the region, Pakistan and India, symbolize enhanced cooperation in the
South Asian region on the whole.
The document sets out a two-faceted goal, Short-Term and Long-Term and bridges the proposed solutions to the principal issues between Pakistan and India, through a road-map.
Note: ‘Foreign Policy’ has been formulated by Members of the Youth Parliament in their individual and collective capacities and does not necessarily bear affinity-of-opinion to PILDAT (Pakistan
Institute of Legislative Development and Transparency) and its officials.
