Cultural Similarities Can Strengthen Pak- Afghan Regional Economic Connectivity

Being neighbors, Pakistan and Afghanistan do not only share a border but also have a common civilization, history, religion, and culture. People from both countries are connected through social values, norms, language, traditions, and religion. These commonalities can be used to benefit both the countries’ economies by promoting trade and tourism. CRSS spoke to cultural experts on both sides to get an insight into what cultural items could help in boosting trade on both sides.

TESTIMONIALS

“For the past nine years, I have been living in Pakistan. Being part of different youth initiatives here has allowed me to witness the incredible warmth and hospitality of the Pakistani people, and how they empathize with young Afghans like me. The Pak-Afghan Youth Peace Initiative by CRSS has helped me realize my potential as a youth and refugee leader. I’m determined to spread the messages of peace and friendship that I am taking away from this fellowship.”
