Pakistan Considers Interim Province-Like Status for PoK and Gilgit-Baltistan Amid India-China Talks
Pakistan is considering granting Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Gilgit-Baltistan an interim, province-like constitutional status. This potential change, possibly through the 28th Constitutional Amendment or other legislation, aims to bring these territories closer to formal provinces while maintaining Pakistan's stance on the Kashmir dispute. The move is reportedly linked to ongoing India-China boundary talks, which Islamabad is closely monitoring due to their potential impact on regional territorial arrangements.
