This policy brief discusses the importance of the India-Afghanistan-Pakistan triangle to the EU's pursuit of security in Afghanistan. The author argues that a decade of Western-led hard and soft measures has failed to stabilise Afghanistan. The West must view its pursuit of stability for Afghanistan and the region through the strategic prism of the Indo-Af-Pak triangle. EU-proposed cooperative frameworks involving India and Pakistan in the reconstruction of Afghanistan could effectively contribute to international efforts in Afghanistan.
