This study explores the impact and repercussions of Pakistan's long-term support of the Taliban on Afghanistan's foreign relations and politics, focusing on the impact on Afghanistan's relations with its neighbors. This study investigates Pakistan's influence on the Afghan Taliban's second rule and Pakistan's authority over Afghanistan's foreign policy. This research, which employs qualitative analysis via a literature review, case studies, and interviews, demonstrates that Pakistan's influence on the Taliban's foreign policy decisions is diminishing and that Pakistan has not received what it anticipated from the Taliban. In favor of a more autonomous posture is the Taliban's desire for international recognition, shifting regional dynamics, and their governance objectives. The findings have significant ramifications for comprehending the dynamics of state sponsors and non-state actors, as well as the complexities of Afghan relations since the Taliban's return to power. The researcher emphasizes ethical issues during research to ensure honesty, impartiality, and respect for all parties involved.
