Company Description
The Government of Pakistan, officially known as the Federal Government, is responsible for governing the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The country is a federal parliamentary democratic republic consisting of four provinces, two autonomous territories, and one federal territory. The government is composed of three branches: the legislative branch, which is vested in a bicameral Parliament; the executive branch, led by the Prime Minister and aided by the Cabinet; and the judiciary branch, with the Supreme Court as the highest court.
The official name of the country is the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and this is the name that appears on money, treaties, and legal cases. The terms “Pakistan Government” or “Government of Pakistan” are often used in official documents to refer to the federal government as a whole. The federal government is based in Islamabad, and as a result, the term “Islamabad” is often used as a shorthand for the federal government.
