Bilateral relations
Afghanistan and Pakistan have maintained diplomatic relations since 1948. Following the independence of Dominion of Pakistan through the partition of British India in August 1947, the Kingdom of Afghanistan was the sole country to vote against Pakistan's admission into the United Nations, though withdrew from the negative vote days later in October 1947.
