Gandhara has participated in every Outernatia Song Contest since its debut at the first contest with the song "Libertango", performed by Hiba Tawaji in the Arabic language. The country has won twice, in the 7th edition, with the song "Aman" by Myriam Fares, and in the 27th edition, with the song "Alive" by Dami Im. Gandhara is the only country that participated in every edition of the contest.

The first fourteen entries have been performed in the Arabic language. For the 15th edition of the contest, the Gandhari public broadcaster Radio and Television of Gandhara abandoned the rule that songs must be performed in Arabic, and Mähri Pirgulyýewa got the right to represent Gandhara with her Turkmen song "Aýterek Günterek". During the final, Mähri Pirgulyýewa received 104 points and a fourth-place finish. It was the country's best result at the time, since Myriam Fares' win in the 7th edition, and the first time Gandhara scored over 100 points.

Gandhara finished as runner-up on three occasions: in the 24th edition, with the song "Snowstorm" by Jess Lee, in the 54th edition, with the song "Tuǵan el" by Móldir Áýelbelkova, and in the 64th edition, with the song "C'est La Vie" by Khaled.
