There's no geostrategic centre of gravity, just especially interesting spots/regions.

AFG may be closer, but it's not useful.

The relation between Indonesian and Thailand on the one hand and AFG on the other is basically nil.

China has a few kilometres border with AFG, but that means pretty much nothing. It's the empty end of China.
India is behind Pakistan. Effect from AFG on India - nil.
