It's just what local media tells me.
Basically to put it short.In Malaysia,Pakistan is known for:
Being “fellow brothers in Islam”.

One of the sources of cheap labor for my country.
Quite an amount of Pakistani but obviously not all abuse their local spouses
here in Malaysia on the slightest “assumption” that the female was cheating
when to my knowledge of all the cases that I've read,none did.
Occasionally pick fights with India.
Sizeable amounts of Pakistani are sent to Malaysia as students.
That's it really.
Nothing much is told about Pakistan besides those things.
My 2 cents as an outside observer.

I met a Pakistani customer ( male in twenties ). He was shedding tears. I thought his
mother had passed away and asked him what was the problem. He said England beat
Pakistan in an one day cricket match and P allowed E to score over 400 runs. One
Pakistani has burnished an image of a cricket mad country.

Pakistan is mostly perceived ill in India. Lets discuss why.
Starting from the positive side, younger generation of Indians enjoy Pakistani music and
Pakistani Dramas (followed by Hollywood, Kpop and Anime). Since the newer
generation are much educated, they are more accepting from their previous generation.
Younger generation also love Pakistani cricketers and actors. But as a whole, Pakistan
doesn’t have any influence or soft power over India like India does on them and common
Indians don’t know much about Pakistan except for the fact that it was born out of
Hindu/Indo hatred. To previous generation, Pakistan is a memorial for partition horrors.
Otherwise Pakistan has have a very bad reputation nainly because of its terror
fundings/activities and use of violence for every single issue. Guerilla warfare by
Pakistan is what makes Indians disgusted of. Sometimes Pakistan can be a butt of Joke
for their distorted form of history narration and over obsession with their armed force.
One of India’s prominent political spokesperson, Mr Shashi Tharoor once said, “Every
country has an Army, but Pakistani army has a country” for their excessive obsession
with Military or anything that is related to force.
In India, state has an army; in Pakistan, army has a state:

North eastern India condemns Pakistan for its massacre over East Bengal and blames
Pakistan for the refugee crisis post 1970. West Bengal celebrates Bangladeshi
Independence and openly shows hatred towards them. Immigrants who moved to India
post 1970 violence recall their barbaric activities which in turn makes the Whole North
East India very anti pakistan.
Bangladeshi Genocide 1971 memorial in streets of Kolkata, India
South neither cares about Pakistan nor North India.
At political level, Pakistan is seen as an aggressor because of its history of attacking first
and in disguised forms. Its funding and training of militants in certain regions of India
like Kashmir, Punjab and North-east India often gives it the tag of a “terrorist country”.
Indians view Pakistan as the only country in Asia that carries out international terror
activities and is often involved in crimes that are happening as far as in UK. Pakistan is
also known as the terror’s den since wanted Indian criminals like Dawood Khan find
safe haven in Pakistan (Including the 9/11 mastermind Osama Bin Laden) Pakistan
always finds itself in international conflicts including the high profile ones like the 9/11
twin tower attacks, plane hijackings, London/paris Bombings etc which makes Indians
very averted to Pakistan. Greatest of all terror attacks in India are all carried out by
Pakistan.
Sometimes Indians pity Pakistan because they are victims of their own terror. the
militants they train and fund often attack their own people which makes Pakistani
economy suffer a lot. Also China’s disguised Colonialism over Pakistani territory and
assets are often laughed and joked about in India.

In my country, Bangladesh, Pakistan is not viewed very positively in general. That is

largely due to the 1971 liberation war of Bangladesh in which Pakistani soldiers killed 3
million Bengalis and raped several thousand women.
Bangladesh has repeatedly tried unsuccessfully to get Pakistan to apologise for the
crimes it committed during the 1971 war.
To make matters even worse, in 2013, Pakistan officially condemned the execution of a
notorious Islamist leader who fought against the liberation of Bangladesh in 1971.
Bangladeshi youths protested against Pakistan's condemnation, telling the country to stay
out of Bangladesh's internal matters. Relations between the two countries reached a new
low.
Bangladesh has also repeatedly accused Pakistan of providing support to terrorist

activities within the country. Immediately following the 2016 terrorist attack at a cafe in
Dhaka, Bangladesh blamed Pakistan's ISI for the attack.
However, more conversative sections of the younger generation (those born after 1971)
see Pakistan more positively. Since they never personally witnessed the horrors of 1971,
they only see Pakistanis as fellow Muslim brethren. Those conservatives, however, often
face criticism from other Bangladeshis as a result.

Well, I would like to quote our prime minister Li Keqiang's words:
"when it comes to Pakistan, the first word that comes to the mind of Chinese is "iron
brother". To us Chinese, Pakistan is always a trustworthy friend who is as solid as
iron. Actually, Chinese netizens refer to Pakistan as "Iron Pak". This testifies to the
strength of China-Pakistan friendship."
As regards how ordinary Chinese people view Pakistan in general, let's try Baidu related
searches:
1. Why Pakistan and China is in a very good relationship?

2. Pakistan Rupee to Chinese Yuan
3. The latest news of the covid 19 pandemic in Pakistan
4. The capital of Pakistan
5. What language do Pakistani speak?
1. Pakistani is actually very bad

2. Pakistan don't treat China as good as we imagine
3. Why Pakistan and China have such a deep friendship?
4. Top five hoaxes in Pakistan
5. The situation of the covid 19 pandemic in Pakistan
6. The feelings after marry to a Pakistani wife
7. The shocking truth behind China-Pakistan relation
8. Why Pakistan treat China so good?
So as you can see, for ordinary Chinese people, most of them don't know too much about
Pakistan, because we don't share many things in common in terms of culture, custom,
religion, etc (except muslim minorities in Western China). In addition, Pakistan is not a
popular travel destination for Chinese people. Therefore, some of them confused about
why China has such a deep friendship with Pakistan in government level.

In my country, which is the UK, it is known for a variety of reasons both good and bad.
The nation I am talking about has seen more than a million of Pakistan immigrants arrive
to help lift the Economy following the devastating WW2. For the bad, Pakistanis have
especially from the Kashmir region who came very poor compared to their Punjabi and
muhajir brothers got involved in a lot of crime such as gangs and rapes etc. But
Pakistanis are also known for many other things here. There are several prominent
politicians of Pakistani descent along with many businesses started by the new
immigrants. The politicians who are most famous here are probably the mayor of
London (one of the greatest cities to ever exist on the earth): Sadiq khan and Sajid Javid
who was the chancellor a small time ago (literally a few months back) and they both
were very prominent in our society. Bare in mind that there are 10+ Pakistani MPs in the
UK so they form a big part of politics int he UK. Then you have many other individuals
such as boxers like Amir khan or actors like Riz Ahmed. Of course, if you are a true
Brit, then you'd know that there re many Pakistani corner store owners and taxi drivers
so they form a big part of our culture and especially our curry culture- they played a
major role in bringing that. Overall, some pretty good, interesting and bad things all at
the same time!

sadly, mostly not very good things
Cricket, they play well and have made a cricketer, formerly married to a Jewish woman,
as their prime minister. Pakistan has seen the murder of more than one prime minister
and Pakistan is an ally of China, largely I suspect because of its enmity towards India
and, oddly also an ally of the USofA. Pakistan has a very mixed relationship with the
Taliban of Afghanistan a movement deeply against any involvement of women in public
life and even of education for girls. Pakistan treats its faith minorities, particularly
Christians and Jews very shabbily. The army has much to much involvement in politics
and government and has provided a number of dictators. There is a large number of
people of Pakistani origin in the UK; some have joined in and done well in the
professions and in politics others many from a small and somewhat remote “tribal” area
perpetuate their prejudices that have no place in this country, some have been involved in
criminal abuse of young girls and very sadly, disgracefully even, the authorities have
bent over so far in a misguided attempt to be “fair” to an “ethnic minority” that they have
contributed to the abuse of those girls. A small number is involved in terrorist activity
inimical to life in this country. In short a very mixed message tending towards the bad.

Pakistan isn’t known for anything to absolute majority of Lithuanians.
Personally I think that I know about Pakistan the following:
the capital city of Pakistan is Islamabad;

Pakistan is Islamic country;
Pakistan has nuclear weapons;
Pakistan has bad relationship with India because of two border states (can’t
remember their names, Kashmir and Peshavar?);
Pakistan plays cricket;
I can easily point out Pakistan in a map;
Pakistan was a British colony;
you had woman Premier Minister who had been assasinated, Benazir Bhuto, if
I remember correctly? I have no idea who are your leaders now.
Well, and that’s probably all I know about Pakistan. And believe me, I know about the

Field Hockey is not as popular as Football, Ice Hockey, Tennis and Basketball but those

Photos; Bin Laden, the Saudi terrorist leader protected by Pakistan after 9/11.
K-2, the second-highest mountain in the world, and said to be the very hardest to climb,
and the most dangerous. There is massive such scenery in the North part of Pakistan.
It doesn’t have a good reputation. The US military and government made the major
blunder of giving Pakistan billions of dollars to use their paths into Afghanistan during
our failed war there.
But Pakistan, corrupt to the core with a military dictatorship overseeing an elected
government, at the same time did two acts that harmed the US;
(1) Pakistan helped bring the Taliban and other such groups back in power in
Afghanistan, thus the US lost that war after a brief victory.
(2) Pakistan protected Bin Laden and his al-Qaeda terrorist organization, which killed
3000 Americans in New York City, Pennsylvania and Virginia on 9/11/01.
About the only thing, one can admire there are the Karakoram Mountains, the
continuation of the Himalayan range. It has some of the most impressive natural scenery
in the world.
(I do admit that I have a Social media Pakistani friend my wife and I communicate with.
But he isn’t part of any of the above problems and does give us a lot of information
about Pakistan that’s more positive. He does seem to have a good life there. So I admit
there are two sides of this discussion).

In South Africa Pakistan is known for cricket. The two countries have competed against
each other a number of times over many years until that horrific attack on the Sri Lankan
bus at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore in 2009. Pakistan was banned in international cricket
until Zimbabwe agreed to play there in 2015 signalling a trickle back into the game.
Pakistanis in South Africa are also known to be shopkeepers. You always know when it’s
a Pakistani shop because when you enter there is always a small corner for cellphone
repairs and sales of various cellphone gadgets. They also have barber shops in nooks and
crannies, often in the back room of the shop.
There is some speculation that they are into organised crime and run drug cartels. That is
not something you automatically tie to Pakistanis though. It just doesn’t seem real.
The Pakistan South Africa Association in Pretoria represents Pakistanis all over South
Africa.

In Croatia, Pakistan is not a particularly well known country. It’s known mostly perhaps
as the “Muslim India” which is in bitter conflict with the non-Muslim one. Pakistan’s
role is also a bit unclear in relation to radical Islam terrorism. Not really sure whether
Pakistan is for or against this… It feels like they aren’t clear either. We also know that
they have nukes, supposedly to protect them against India, but it’s still an uneasy feeling.

I’m Australian and an old guy.
In Australia, from media reports, we assume Pakistan has a love of Cricket. Apart from
that, the perspective is that Pakistan is a nation rampant with judicial and political
corruption and violent religious fanaticism and intolerance.
Pakistan in Australia is also known to be nuclear armed nation (as is India) and in
perpetual conflict with India.
In short, we know little about daily life in Pakistan, except what immigrants from
Pakistan or the media tell us.

Largely for cricket and as being the source of a sizeable minority immigrant influx
following World War II. Quite a few of said group have had families and descendants
who’ve contributed much to U.K society (and some who haven’t, but that’s another story
altogether) in various capacities - politicians, sportsmen, businessmen & women, actors
et al.
I have a number of valued friends & work colleagues with Pakistani heritage, whilst I’ve
got to know quite a few others through sports (the aforementioned cricket mainly -
they’re certainly keen cricketers and a pleasure to officiate)
The country doesn’t always have a great reputation (thanks largely to religious
intolerance and extremist factions) and there are a few bad apples over here in the U.K
too, but I’m not one for labelling an entire country as fanatics or terrorists based upon
the actions of a handful of zealots.

known for most of the bad things in this world specially Narco terrorism.

Muslim immigrants, for the UK. They used to be apart of the empire.
Can’t say I think most British people know anything more than that

I am afraid, Pakistan has a bit challenging image in Hungary. Contrary to some other
countries, the more someone actually knows about the country the less positive image
he/she would have about Pakistan. However, I must add, the image is not based on direct
experience, only on some shallow information from TV or social media
To start with, the majority (55–60%) knows absolutely nothing about the country. It’s not
a tourist destination, it’s not a sports rival, not a major economic partner, so hardly ever
talked about. Most probably they could guess that it’s a Muslim country in Asia but only
because it is a -stan. But that’s it.
The little more knowledgable would associate the country with radical Islam, terrorism,
poverty and migration. Still very basic awareness, stereotypes. (25%)
The ones, who could tell you that it was once part of, but now the arch-rival of India, are
actually probably quite interested in politics and history. So they may add the nuclear
arsenal, the hiding place of Osama Bin Laden, Benazir Bhutto and things like that to the
picture. They have a negative or neutral image in mind (max. 15%).
And there is a maximum of 5% of the population who have any deeper understanding
and more balanced view about Pakistan…

For the United States, they were useful during the Cold War, when in India, Indira
Gandhi didn’t like Americans, and while officially neutral, learned toward the Soviet
Union. Most Americans I know see Pakistan, as a terrorist driven place, that luckily we
do not have to have anything to do with any longer.

Pakistan is a beautiful, multicultural and agricultural land. It's a south Asian country.
There are Muslims in majority. It's 8th atomic power of the world.There are many tourist
attractions in southern and northern parts of this country. Its geographical position is
very important. China, India, Iran and Afghanistan are in its neighborhood.
There we find fascinations and unresist able attractions of natural beauties in top regions
of it.

Am Russian and Pakistan is known as a terror hub in Russia. Pakistan has been
greylisted by the FATF and even Osama bin Laden was hiding there. Many terrorist
organizations are based in Pakistan and it is the centre of Islamic terrorism.

The basic meaning and purpose of 'religion' consists of two parts: 're' meaning 'again' and
'ligio' meaning 'to come together'. That is to say, 'reuniting with God is religion'
Religion is intended for union of individual consciousness with divine consciousness, it

will manifest divine vision, knowledge and power in the individual. It is personal and
internal process. To rise from animal tendency to Human and to rise divinity is the path
and Goal of Human birth.
However, Religion today has become rendered meaningless and valueless by all kinds of
misinterpretations given by sectarian and perverse exponents. People consider religion as
a bundle of doctrines do's and don't to be followed strictly. This is totally wrong. These
moral upkeepers call them selves as heads of religious sects and servent of God, they
dictate Governments.
During pre-independence movement a section of people from north planed and made a
move to create two states in the name of Religion and language. Urudustan for muslims
and Hindistan for Hindus. It became Pakistan and India. The compition for numbers and
land area dictates their relationship now.
Thanks to Abraham and his family of 12 nomadic desert people. We do not know when
Indian subcontinent will regain its peace and harmony.

Pakistan is well known for exporting terrorism to rest of the world. It is no surprise that
Osama Bin Laden (biggest terrorist) was found hiding inside Pakistan. Pakistan is in fact
the world’s biggest terrorist factory.

In India, Pakistan is known as a hub of terrorism, a radical Muslim country which
sponsors and supports terrorism. Pakistan wants full Kashmir for itself. It lost four wars
to India. Each time Pakistan attacked India. Even bin Laden was hiding in Pakistan. In
1971 war, Pakistan lost, 93000 soldiers surrendered and Pakistan got partitioned.

Every country has a good and bad side. Though Pakistan is a good country to visit it is
known for all the wrong reasons. Pakistan is known for supporting terrorism. Terrorist
groups operate from Pakistan who fight for Kashmir. It has many issues with India.
Almost half the population lives in poverty and they don`t have good infrastructure. The
media shows Pakistan as a terrorist hub. Even Bin Laden was hiding in Pakistan. Now
they have made friends with China, who can never be trusted. Hope Pakistan improves
its image in the world.

Besides India, Pakistan is known for a friendly and peace-loving Country. It is ONLY the
Indian propaganda that views Pakistan negatively because of Indian sponsored terrorism
in Pakistan. However, that narrative has changed.

My daughter works for a large well known clothing chain in Australia, its name has
something to do with larger Creeks, water and is a plural. Over time I began to be
concerned that she was supporting some slave labour production in China but then I
found out that the clothes are all made in Pakistan. Large Factories that supply child care
for their workers and that the employment was actually better paid to the majority female
workers.

UK here, I’ve only heard one thing about Pakistan, this is where all the terrorists were
born; and recently it got worse when your prime minister/ president went on and call the
bastered bin Ladin a Maytr that was appalling and with the comment most people’s
views of Pakistan have gone down dramatically, it’s fine I always preferred their

Pakistan is China’s best friend, they are our iron brothers. Unfortunately, we have to live
with India as our neighbours. India is very greedy, always encroaching other countries’
land. They have eaten Sikkim, they have interfered with Bhutan and Nepal’s internal
affairs. They have occupied South Tibet and gradually eaten away China’s land near the
border, a little bit at a time, and of course they have a big fight with Pakistan over
Kashmir. In my opinion, Russia, India and the United States are the three biggest land-
grabbers in the world.
I don’t have a problem with their people, the Indian people have produced one of the
most beautiful and diverse cultures in the world, but the Indian government is very bad.
Maybe they are under pressure to feed such a big population, but that doesn’t justify
their action to rob other countries’ land and resources. They should try to grow their
economy by strengthen business ties with their neighbouring countries, not making
troubles which led to every neighbouring country disliking them.
