Pakistan is a nation of 170 million strong people and is the 2nd largest Islamic nation after Indonesia.Emerging on the world map 62 years ago,this nation has yet to reach the heights it was destined to reach.It has shown time and again that it has all the makings of being a potential global power!
From causing the disintegration of the United Soviet Socialist Republic which resulted in the end of Cold War,to it's students setting world records by getting 23 A's Pakistanis have achieved laurels in diverse fields.Pakistan is the 9th country of the world to achieve nuclear status which has made it's already formidable defences impregnable.Pakistan has the 6th largest army of the world.It belongs to the exclusive class of countries which are building their own aircrafts,drones,submarines and even cruise missiles.Pakistan has the world's 3rd largest coal reserves.World's 2nd largest salt mine Khewra is also present in Pakistan.The ancient trade route "Silk Road" passes through here which imparts significant geographical importance to Pakistan.Chinese and Pakistani engineers and workers gave up their lives to rebuild it which is now known as the "Karakoram Highway" and is the world's highest metalled road.The world's 2nd highest mountains "K-2 Mount Godwin Austen" also graces this diverse country which has everything from excess to sea to deserts to fertile lands to mountainous areas.There is plenty of potential which is waiting to get exploited and we as the upcoming generation have every responsibility to bring that potential forth.
