Pak-Iran Collaborative Strategies for Enhancing Regional Cooperation in Eurasia
Abstract
[Pakistan and Iran - located at the juncture of South, West and Central Asia -assume pivotal position and undeniable role for any move, aimed at enhancing regional cooperation in Eurasia. The two countries must make joint efforts for long-term sustained peace in neighboring Afghanistan, which is a prerequisite of any enduring cooperation between the nations of the region. Regional energy politics is another important area where the two can join hands for collective benefit of the region. An indigenously designed and backed Silk Road can be revived as well with their mutual efforts, while reinvigorating the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) can do wonders. Several emerging and non-traditional challenges also provide vast scope for regional and sub-regional collaboration.]
