Pakistan - Economy |
| |
| Pakistan sits on one of the most important trade
routes of the world. This area has traditionally been a centre for exchange of
cultures and commerce of South, South East, West and Central Asia. The country
shares borders with China to the North, Iran and Afghanistan to the West, and
India to the East, while the Arabian Sea to the South offers a vast coastline
for maritime trade. Itself a country with a population of approximately 140
million, Pakistan also has easy access to the markets of Iran, Afghanistan, the
Central Asian Republics and the Middle East. With the fast developing
communication infrastructure in the country, Pakistan is well placed as a
transit route for East-West trade in this era of increasing
globalization. |
