Economic cooperation between Russia and Pakistan: prospects and problems
Abstract
Historically, relations between Russia and Pakistan have not always been easy. However, even during the years of greatest tension, Moscow and Islamabad attempted to cooperate in one form or another. Now the two countries are conducting a substantive dialogue in various fields, while trade and economic cooperation is one of the key areas of interaction between Moscow and Islamabad. In the current state of affairs, these relations have good prospects for future development, although they face a number of challenges. Thus, this article explores the bilateral trade and economic relations between Russia and Pakistan, aiming at analysing prospects for cooperation and identifying the existing problems for further development of Russia-Pakistan economic interaction.
