Abstract

The goal of this study is to better understand Balochistan's geostrategic borders, which have given it geopolitical relevance. Balochistan is one of Pakistan's largest provinces in terms of area, sharing internal borders with Punjab, Sindh, and KPK, as well as external boundaries with Afghanistan, Iran, and Indian Ocean bodies. The province gained international notice when the Pakistani and Chinese governments launched the CPEC project. Balochistan has the biggest natural resources, including gas and copper. This essay sought to determine the internal and external constraints to Balochistan's growth. To support my position, I used both primary and secondary information, as well as a historical and descriptive research approach. Both internal and external factors contribute to the province's underdevelopment. To support regional growth, peace in the province must be established by prioritizing internal causes.
