Correct Answer:
A. Afghanistan
Correct Answer: Afghanistan
Afghanistan was the only country that opposed Pakistan's admission to the United Nations in 1947. The opposition stemmed mainly from the dispute over the Durand Line and Afghanistan's demand that the Pashtun population should be allowed to determine its political future. Despite Afghanistan's initial objection, Pakistan was admitted as a member of the United Nations on 30 September 1947. Relations between the two neighboring countries have experienced periods of cooperation as well as political tensions over border security, refugees, and regional stability. This historical event remains an important topic in Pakistan Studies and competitive examinations.
