Abstract
The Cold War bloc politics prevented Russia and Pakistan from establishing a long-term, constructive relationship. However, shifting geopolitical dynamics, marked by great power rivalry and changing alliances, has created favourable conditions for both countries to bridge their differences and develop a pathway towards a strategic partnership. Over the past decade, Russia and Pakistan, it appears, have made significant strides to strengthen and stabilise their relation. In light of the current global environment, this article seeks to explore Russia’s concerns with Pakistan, their growing cooperation and assesses the potential implications of their warming ties for India.
