Unveiled by Federal Defence Minister Khawaja Asif at Islamabad Symposium 2025 at the National University of Sciences & Technology (NUST), the book shows the pathway to sustainable peace, progress and prosperity in the region and beyond.
“Dr Zahid Latif has written a wholesome book with deep analysis of Pakistan's Afghan Policy with credible empirical evidence. It surpasses most of the literature yet produced on this vital issue which confronts Pakistan. Central theme of the book revolves around an innovative foreign policy approach based on interdependence and people-centric diplomacy where high politics takes a back seat. A must read for policymakers and practitioners in Pakistan. United Nations and international aid organisations shall also benefit from this scholarly work.”
(Khawaja Muhammad Asif, NI. Federal Minister for Defence, Islamic Republic of Pakistan).

The Defence Minister, Khawaja Muhammad Asif (NI), appreciated the author and congratulated him on his impeccable work and expertise on the subject. The Defence Minister noted that the book offers an original take on the current and future trajectory of Pakistan-Afghanistan relations, providing insightful pointers for peaceful coexistence of the two neighbours.
