Un Commission on limited of the Continental Shelf has recently approved extension in of Pakistan's Continental shelf adding an area approximately?

The United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) approved the extension of Pakistan's continental shelf in March 2015, adding an area of approximately 50,000 square kilometers.This decision extended Pakistan's maritime limits from 200 nautical miles to the maximum 350 nautical miles, granting the country exclusive rights to explore and exploit the resources at and beneath the seabed in this additional area.The extended area is a significant addition to the nation's existing Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and offers potential for future exploration of oil, gas, and other mineral resources, particularly in the deepwater systems of the Indus Fan. The successful claim was the result of a decade-long effort by a technical team from the Pakistan Navy and the National Institute of Oceanography, with the cooperation of Oman on overlapping claims.
