About Pakistan
Pakistan is located in southern Asia on the Arabian Sea, nestled between India, Afghanistan, Iran, and China. Pakistan is also home to K2, the world's second-highest peak. This region has faced severe flooding, frequent earthquakes, prolonged political and religious disputes, and has suffered from a lack of foreign investment. Despite these obstacles, the resilient people of Pakistan continue to push forward. Major industries include agriculture and textiles.
