Pakistani passport is fourth worst in the world: Henley Passport Index

| @indiablooms | Apr 17, 2021, at 06:59 am

Islamabad: Pakistan passport remained the fourth weakest passport in the world behind only war-torn Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, as per Henley Passport Index.

Japan stood at the top of the chart.

The list included 110 nations.

Bangladesh remained above Pakistan in the 100th position while India stood in the 84th place.

Commenting on the latest ranking, Dr. Christian H. Kaelin, Chairman of Henley & Partners and the inventor of the passport index concept, says the past year has demonstrated that no government is infallible — even the world’s superpowers and wealthiest nations floundered — and many failed their citizens.

“While nobody expects a return to pre-pandemic mobility levels anytime soon, the outlook now is certainly more hopeful than it was even a few months ago. The latest Henley Passport Index ranking is a reminder that economic recovery and development are dependent on global mobility, including personal travel freedom, and that passport power should never be taken for granted,”  Dr. Christian H. Kaelin said.
