Traditional Geographical Importance of Pakistan

Back to Geographical Importance of Pakistan

Traditionally, Pakistan's geographical importance has been defined in following ways;

  • Pakistan's North Western Border can be used as an access to the Central Asian Republics rich in natural resources. It's a narrow strip of Afghan Territory between Tajikistan and Pakistan which if used as a transit route can benefit all the countries in trade.

  • Pakistan's South Western Border with Iran is of great significance in a trade with this oil-rich country.

  • Eastern Border of Pakistan with India has been quite less utilized than the potential it carries. This can be a free trade route with India if the major conflicts between both the states are resolved.

  • Northern Border of Pakistan with China provides another important route for access of Chinese products in Pakistan.
