A debilitating economy plagued by high inflation and a growing national debt is plaguing pakistan, India's estranged neighbor. However, the impoverished country has surreptitiously outperformed india and even the rest of the world in a few categories.
Let's discover ten things that india lacks and pakistan possesses.
Gwadar Port: Located within China's planned China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the strategically important Gwadar Port is regarded as the largest port in the world. The Gwadar Port, which was constructed with Chinese funding in Pakistan's volatile balochistan Province, has the potential to transform Islamabad into a major hub for trade and the economy.
World's highest paved road: The Karakoram Highway, located in pakistan, is the highest paved road in the world. The 1,300-kilometer Karakoram Highway, sometimes referred to as the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway or KKH, connects china and pakistan and winds through the untamed landscape of the Himalayan and Karakoram mountain ranges.
World's Largest Ambulance Service: The largest voluntary ambulance service in the world is run in pakistan by the Edhi Foundation, a non-profit social welfare organization with its headquarters there. The organization's ambulance services cover Pakistan's main regions and offer emergency assistance around the clock.
Leading football manufacturer: Sialkot, Punjab, is the primary location for Pakistan's hand-stitched football production, which makes it the world's top producer. The last two FIFA World Cups have featured Sialkot-made footballs, giving the area immediate notoriety and renown.
World's Highest Polo Ground: At an elevation of 12,500 feet (38,000 meters) above sea level, the Shandur Polo Ground in Ghizer, Pakistan's Gilgit-Baltistan, is the highest polo field in the world. Every year, the ground hosts traditional polo tournaments, such as the well-known Shandur Polo Festival.
Only Muslim Nation With Nuclear Weapons: pakistan is the only country in the Islamic world (officially at least) to possess nuclear weapons, even though the majority of Muslim nations worldwide, particularly those in the Middle East, are unquestionably wealthy and powerful. This increases Islamabad's strategic significance in South Asia and positions it as a major player in geopolitics.
Youngest Nobel laureate: Malala Yousafzai, the youngest Nobel winner in history, hails from Pakistan. The courageous young woman from Pakistan's Swat Valley was shot in the head for her activism after she resisted the Pakistani Taliban. In 2014, Malala became the youngest person in history to win the Nobel Peace Prize. At the time, she was 17.
Oldest civilization: pakistan is home to the ruins of the Indus Valley Civilization, which is regarded as one of the oldest civilizations in the world. The well-known ancient Indus Valley cities of Mohenjo-daro and Harappa are located in Pakistan's Larkana and Sahiwal districts, respectively.
Largest earthen dam: The Tarbela Dam, which is crucial to Pakistan's electricity generation and water storage, is the biggest earth and rock-fill dam in the world with the largest capacity in its particular fill-type category.
