Keywords:
Durand,Abstract
This article focuses on the dynamics of border relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and reveals the history of the origin of the problem and the breakdown of relations based on evidence. The positions of two countries in relation to the Durand border line are shown. This article is fundamentally different from the scientific works of other scientists, and the unresolved border issues are shown as the main factor causing other problems between the two countries. Also, the importance of concluded contracts is revealed more broadly. Internal and external factors affecting the relations between the two countries were also analyzed. The article uses information from foreign sources and official websites.
