India-Pakistan rivalry

A new dynamic in the India-Pakistan arms race is unfolding – with help from Beijing. 

The India-hosted meeting revealed the geopolitical fault lines that have prevented a unified pan-regional response to Afghanistan’s multiple cascading crises.

China bowed out of security talks on Afghan in New Delhi, but will join a similar meeting in Pakistan held the next day.

Abdullah Abdullah, who is chairing Kabul’s peace efforts, is set to visit Pakistan soon. Should India be worried?

Behind the specific events of February 2019, there’s the larger danger of rising nationalism in both countries.

The SCO’s founding members have long pledged to ensure peace, security, and stability. Now it's time to act on that rhetoric.

Afghanistan won’t have peace unless its neighbors agree to stop their meddling.

The OIC condemning ‘Indian terrorism’ in Kashmir is a diplomatic triumph for Pakistan.

Though the decision itself may not have been surprising, the consequences could be serious for New Delhi’s security.

Kashmir barely rated a mention in the document, while host Bangladesh called for India to gain observer status in the OIC.

It was the first time new members India and Pakistan sent their top defense officials to the gathering.
