Azad Kashmir Government

The Azad Kashmir Government governs Pakistan-administered Kashmir, also called Azad Jammu and Kashmir. It has its own elected president, prime minister, and legislative assembly that manage local laws, education, health, and infrastructure. While it operates independently in many areas, Pakistan retains control over defense, foreign policy, and financial matters. The government aims to represent the interests of residents, promote development, and maintain stability in the region. It functions within a semi-autonomous framework, balancing local administration with national oversight by Pakistan.
