Pakistan's geostrategic importance lies in its proximity to major powers like China and India, and its position between Central Asia, the Middle East and South Asia. As a result, Pakistan serves as an important transit route for trade and energy pipelines between these regions. Additionally, Pakistan's status as a nuclear-armed Muslim country with ties to China make it a significant geopolitical player. The document outlines seven key aspects of Pakistan's geostrategic value, including its role in reducing Indian influence in the region and providing China with access to the Middle East.

Geo-strategic Worth And Location of Pakistan - CPEC - 2017FaHaD .H. NooR

The geography of Pakistan is a profound blend of landscapes varying from plains to deserts, forests, hills, and plateaus ranging from the coastal areas of the Arabian Sea in the south to the mountains of the Karakoram range in the north. Pakistan geologically overlaps both with the Indian and the Eurasian tectonic plates where its Sindh and Punjab provinces lie on the north-western corner of the Indian plate while Balochistan and most of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa lie within the Eurasian plate which mainly comprises the Iranian Plateau. Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir lie along the edge of the Indian plate and hence are prone to violent earthquakes where the two tectonic plates collide.
Pakistan is bordered by India to the east, Afghanistan to the west and Iran to the southwest while China borders the country in the northeast. The nation is geopolitically placed within some of the most controversial regional boundaries which share disputes and have many-a-times escalated military tensions between the nations, e.g., that of Kashmir with India and the Durand Line with Afghanistan. Its western borders include the Khyber Pass and Bolan Pass that have served as traditional migration routes between Central Eurasia and South Asia

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Geo means the Earth and strategy means planning, tactics and policy
The term "geo-strategy" was first used by Frederick L. Schuman in his
1942 article "Let Us Learn Our Geopolitics."
It was a translation of the German term "Wehrgeopolitik" as used by
German geostrategist Karl Haushofer.
Many geostrategists are also geographers, specializing in subfields of
geography, such as human geography, political geography, economic
geography, cultural geography, military geography, and strategic
geography
