Pakistan turned 75 last year. It has come a long way from where it started back in 1947. Rarely, a country has experienced so much turbulence in its history as Pakistan did. The embedded resilience of the nation has made its way through thick and thin. The country has managed to stay relevant in the global landscape, no matter what. There is a lot about Pakistan that needs improvement, but the positives hint at an assuring future.
