Balochistan

Balochistan is a large province in southwestern Pakistan, known for its vast landscapes and natural resources, including minerals and gas. It shares borders with Iran and Afghanistan and has a diverse population primarily consisting of ethnic Baloch, Pashtuns, and others. The region faces challenges such as poverty and political instability, partly due to demands for greater autonomy and development from its residents. Balochistan is rich in culture, with traditional music, dance, and crafts, and is recognized for its strategic importance, especially due to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) connecting it to global trade routes.
