Pakophilia, Pakistanophilia or Pro-Pakistan love sentiment (PPLS), is a term described by Pakistan’s political scientists as a fondness and love of aspects of Pakistani culture, Pakistani history,Pakistani cuisine, Pakistani traditions and the People of Pakistan and in general, all things concerning Pakistan. A Pakophile is a foreigner who displays Pakophilia as differed from a Patriot who would be a Pakistani.[1]Interest in Pakistan and its [LANDSCAPE

Interest in Pakistan has to a great extent been driven by the foreign relations of Pakistan or countries which have had a historically friendly and stable relationship with Pakistan, includingChina, Germany, Indonesia, Turkey, Poland and much of the Muslim world, which still have historical cultural presence in the country and remain staunch supporter of Pakistan, with large amounts of citizens of these countries residing in Pakistan.
The Pakistani diaspora has in addition contributed to the country’s exposure throughout Europe and the West. The like or interest of Pakistan is the opposite of the concept of pakophobia or Anti-Pakistan sentiment, which is the fear and dislike of things concerning Pakistan.

**
what are your thoughts on local and foreign Pakistanophiles? Do you find their enthusiasm can get annoying? Would you encourage their pakistanophilic ways or discourage them?**
From your signature and your comments it is obvious that Pakistani land is sacred to you and you have deep respect for it. This is also a type of Pakistanophilia. Then express karne mein kya hai. It’s easy for us to say things on threads that can be confrontation like cricket lekin aise threads mein hum khamosh ho jaate hain. I feel the same but I wish i had that same family connection. Chahe koi log maane ya na maane mujhe lagta hai woh hamare bhai behn hain sadiyon ke..similarly to how different nations in Europe see each other.
