<br/><br/> Long term rivals and enemies India and Pakistan have competing interests especially for energy supplies with both actively pursuing energy sources in the Central Asian republics. India is now Afghanistan's closest regional ally - a role traditionally fulfilled by Pakistan - and is also rapidly establishing friendly ties with Iran. These developments will affect Pakistan's strategic perceptions and  may have negative consequences for America's foreign policy objectives in its relations with Pakistan.
