Balochistan is a land which has always been visited by different nations throughout the
history. Despite of many phases of obscurity, this marvelous land never lost its geo political
and geo-strategic importance. Being located close to Middle East, Central Asia, South Asia
and Indian Ocean, Balochistan has always been serving as a passage for foreign historian,
politicians and armies. The geographical location of Balochistan makes it a sensitive region
not only for Pakistan but also plays the key role in determining the significance of this
region on international level by developing historic interest of the global powers. Being the
best possible marine passage in the Indian Ocean of the Eastern, Central, and Western
divisions of Asia, Balochistan has attained highly significant position among international
powers by developing great atmosphere of competition for securing and dominating its sea
paths which are now essential for the enormous world trade and energy shipment. Unique
and outstanding physical geography of Balochistan is taking on increased importance in
regional political affairs. Vast fields of natural gas reserves and other valuable minerals
have become the centre for attraction and interest of foreign investors and developers which
would provide an ideal profitable aim for global powers. The objectives of foreign states are
to become economically more powerful to get global hegemony by controlling the major
portion of world’s energy resources. so it is the biggest requirement of time to spread their
influence over world energy resources, energy transit corridors, major land and maritime
trade links and for this purpose, Balochistan has especially become the focus of global geopolitical exploitation.
