Implications of 9/11 for Pak-US Relations
Abstract
Afghanistan remained an unstable state throughout the history because of its weak government,
geography, foreign attacks. As a neighboring country of Pakistan, the wars in Afghanistan have always serious
repercussions on Pakistan. At the time of 9/11 Pakistan was facing severe external economic difficulties. It was
unable to pay its short-term loans. There were sanctions on it as it was under the rule of the military. So, it was
not in a position to continue its relations with the government of Taliban in Afghanistan. Resultantly it joined
the American coalition against Taliban present in Afghanistan. This paper describes the impacts of 9/11 on
Pakistan. It also attempts to describe Pak-USA relations after 9/11 and the inflow of American to Pakistan
