It is very encouraging to see Mr. Rouhani of Iran visiting Afghanistan with the intention to improve relationship with the latter by accelerating business and cultural relationships. It is equally important and helpful to note his stand against violence and extremism in the region. His efforts to build healthy relationship between these two countries should be conducive for the peace to prevail in that part of the world especially when the US and NATO forces leave Afghanistan. It is an opportune time for Pakistan also to encourage these type of visits and efforts to reconcile its relationship with the neighbors viz-a-viz India and Afghanistan. One should not underestimate the magnitude of turmoil one may see emanating from the quarters of outlaw non-state militant actors after the US and NATO forces leave Afghanistan. If Afghanistan, Iran, India and Pakistan have sincere and honest good working business relationship, the joint forces of these nations will be capable of thwarting any threat coming from the militant groups. Hence, there will be a long lasting peace in the region. CAN PAKISTAN THINK ON THESE LINES AND FORGET ITS MYOPIC FOREIGN POLICY TOWARDS INDIA?
