Balochistan is the largest province of Pakistan by area, covering nearly 44% of the country’s total landmass, but it is the least populated province. Situated in the southwestern region of Pakistan, Balochistan shares borders with the Pakistani provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to the northeast, Punjab to the east, and Sindh to the southeast. It also borders Iran to the west and Afghanistan to the north, while its southern boundary is formed by the Arabian Sea. The province is home to the world’s largest deep-sea port, the Port of Gwadar, which is strategically significant for both regional and global trade routes.
