Analysis: How can India-Pakistan war impact central Asia?
If India and Pakistan go to a broader war, the consequences will very likely affect Central Asia.
Actually, given the closeness of this region to Afghanistan and the increasing significance of the Central Asia in the East to West transit routes and the energy arteries across the region, this conflict can disrupt the trade and energy routes, encourage extremism, and cause further competition of such big powers as China, the US, and Russia, which will potentially impact the Central Asian security.
