Pakistan at the Commonwealth Games
Pakistan lies north of the Tropic of Cancer and west of India. The Islamic Republic of Pakistan joined the Commonwealth in
1947 but left the Commonwealth in 1972, before re-entering it again in 1989. At the Commonwealth Games, Pakistan made its debut at the 1954 Games (winning 6 medals) and was
an ever present up to and including the 1970 Games in Edinburgh
(9 medals). Then, after a 20 year absence Pakistan returned to the Games family
by competing in Auckland in 1990, and enjoying uninterrupted participation
ever since.
