This study looks into the impact of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan (AF-PAK) after the US withdrawal. The text delves deeper into the discussion related to resurgence of TTP after the TTA gain to power. The study debates the established nexus between TTA and TTP. It explores the complex processes that underlie the TTP's operations, its effect on national security of Pakistan and bilateral interactions between the neighboring states. The study also examines the idea of peace, making a distinction between positive and negative peace under Galtung model, and evaluates their importance in fostering amicable and long-lasting ties between Pakistan and Afghanistan. This study attempts to provide insights into viable approaches for dealing with the problems the TTP presents and enhancing the chances for long-term peace and collaboration in the area through thorough examination.
