important route between other countries in the South-East Asia, South-West Pacific and North America regions and
Pakistan, through the Singapore Changi Airport hub.
Karachi is the financial and commercial hub of Pakistan and accounts for more than 60% of Pakistan’s Gross Domestic
Product. It is a centre of business in the region, and also the home to several major institutions for higher learning.
Lahore, capital of the province of Punjab, is a city known for its cultural capital, which is apparent from the numerous
historic buildings endowed with architectural and scenic beauty.
A very old city, Lahore was part of the Mughal dynasty, which ruled over vast tracks of the Indian sub-continent.
