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.
