1. indian ocean is on the south of it border
2. it may play as a conduit for central asian landlocked countries
3. it can also give route to China for its southern province sinkyang, which is only 1700 km away from arabian ocean but 3500 km from its own china sea and shanghai city
4. pakistan is an important route for American and Nato supply
