Pakistan-India Maritime Boundary

The Pakistan-India maritime boundary is the official division of ocean areas between the two countries in the Arabian Sea. It determines which parts of the sea each country can explore and use for resources like fish and oil. Over the years, they have negotiated and sometimes disputed these boundaries. In 2013, an international tribunal helped settle a long-standing disagreement, dividing the maritime areas more fairly. This boundary is important for economic, strategic, and security reasons, preventing conflicts and ensuring peaceful use of maritime resources in the Arabian Sea.
