world.  It  is  also  the  top-most  among  Muslim  countries.  Pakistan  is  trying
               hard  to  strengthen  its  defence  with  aid  from  different  countries  to  build  a
               strong  army.  It  also  advises  the  civilian  government  in  strategic

               Global Support



               Pakistan lost a majority of global support including that of the US due to the
               increasing  terror  activity  and  the  CPEC  issue.  China  is  one  of  the  best
               supporters of Pakistan and is helping the economic and infrastructural growth

               of Pakistan through CPEC.



               Future of Pakistan

                     issue  for  a  very  long  time.  The  declaration  of  the  Draft  NRC  which
                     covered 3.29 crore applicants found 2.89 crore making the list, leaving

                     about  40  lakh  people  who  did  not  meet  the  laid-down  criteria.  This

                     created  an  uproar  that  reverberated  in  the  Parliament  and  the
