Pakistan Secretariat, Government administrative sector in Red Zone, Islamabad, Pakistan.
The Pakistan Secretariat serves as the central administrative complex housing various federal government ministries including Commerce, Industries, Petroleum, Education, Finance, and Human Rights departments spread across multiple interconnected blocks.
Established as part of Pakistan's post-independence administrative infrastructure development, the Secretariat was built to centralize governmental operations and replace the colonial-era administrative system with a modern bureaucratic framework.
The building represents Pakistan's commitment to democratic governance and serves as a symbol of national administrative authority, frequently appearing in official state photographs and hosting important ceremonial functions.
Located at coordinates 33.736111°N, 73.092833°E within Islamabad's secure Red Zone, the facility operates under strict security protocols and provides coordinated workspace for cabinet meetings and inter-ministerial coordination.
The complex includes specialized sections such as the National Archives and Intelligence Bureau offices, making it one of the few administrative buildings globally that combines archival, intelligence, and policy-making functions under one roof.
