Balanced Foreign Policy & Afghanistan Bilateral Diplomacy

(I.E.A Second Period)

Abstract

In the international arena, countries adopt a balanced foreign policy in order to gain maximum points and have good relations and interaction with other countries, especially the big regional and global powers, who compete with each other. Adopting a balanced foreign policy prevents the country adopting this policy from becoming a field of competition and proxy wars between other countries. By adopting a balanced foreign policy, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has been able to establish relations with many countries in the field of bilateral diplomacy. Now the question is, what has the adoption of a balanced foreign policy by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan achieved in this country's bilateral diplomacy with other countries? To answer this question, library sources and analytical-descriptive method have been used. The findings of the research show that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has succeeded in adopting a balanced foreign policy in its diplomacy and has been able to have good relations and interaction with major regional and global powers despite the competition, sometimes it has sent diplomats to these countries.
