The geostrategic significance is the importance of a country with respect to its location and position. Pakistan lies in a region which has great military, political, and economic importance. Pakistan plays a crucial role in global politics and international stability due to its strategic location in the crossroads of Asia with India as its neighbour in the east, China in the north, and Afghanistan and Iran in the west. It is believed that one of the most innumerable gifts bestowed upon Pakistan by nature is its ideal geographical location.
