Russia , Iran , Saudi Arabia and even countries like Czech republic are interested in This regional game changer called China Pakistan economic corridor .
The only country that might be as important for its location is Turkey . Pakistan has attracted the attention of the world for its geography .
This is just the economic aspect and a little insight for you . Military wise we are a regional power with enough muscle to be ranked in the top 10 . We have been part of some of the most important events of 20th century like the Cold war . Many superpowers like America , China , Russia lobby for us . In the recent Saudi - Iran spat we were the mediators and made it possible to cool down the whole thing . Raheel Sharif is more respected than any other general around the world. Look at the level of respect he gets wherever he goes from Brazil to Russia. Brazil Even gave him their highest civilian award . How many Generals around the world command that sort of respect ?
Pakistan was and will remain one of the most important countries in the world economically( In 10 years time) , Militarily(Regional power possibly in top 10) and the strategic location that it enjoys .
