The first country to recognize Pakistan after its independence on August 14, 1947, was Iran.
Iran officially recognized Pakistan on August 15, 1947, just a day after Pakistan's independence. This recognition was significant because it came from a neighboring country and helped to solidify Pakistan's position on the world stage.
Other countries that quickly followed suit in recognizing Pakistan include:
- Afghanistan
- United Kingdom
- United States
- India
These early recognitions were crucial for Pakistan's establishment as a sovereign nation and helped to pave the way for its future development.
