Abstract

The paper explores positions and interests of regional powers such as Pakistan, India, Iran and China in the Afghanistan’s settlement of situation. There are analyzed relations of region states concerning this issue and their national benefits from the stability of Afghanistan. Authors explore the main factors of instability in the region and mutual benefits in the bilateral relations. The article deals with the current situation in Afghanistan, further understanding of regional development and interests of regional powers from Afghanistan. The strategic location of Afghanistan, that is a link between the Central and South Asian regions, is constantly subject to competition between the great powers with each other. The confrontation of world and regional powers in Afghanistan consistently affects the security situation in neighboring states. The critical situation in the country involves leaders of all states in the process of settling the Afghan crisis and establishing peace and security in the region. First of all, its neighbors are interested in the stability of Afghanistan. Such forces for instability as terrorism and drug trafficking worry the whole world and unite countries in the fight against global threats. Each of these states has its own interests and benefits from the stability of Afghanistan. First of all, this is the elimination / reduction of terrorism in the region and the security of borders. This is a common goal. It is also important to ensure the security of supply and transportation of energy resources through the territory of Afghanistan (for example, TAPI project). Economically, countries also benefit from close economic cooperation. Countries such as Pakistan, China and India are interested in their participation in the development of energy resources and minerals. Countries are interested in stable Afghanistan and are ready to provide powerful support for the settlement of the situation in the region.
