There is some things which need to be corrected about this map. It would be useful for anyone reading this to first read the Wikipedia artice on Bangladesh before continuing. Go ahead...I'll wait right here.

Oh you're back already! Very well, now here's the problem. Bangladesh used to be part of Pakistan. The current nation of Pakistan was known as "West Pakistan" and Bangladesh was called "East Pakistan". The two Pakistans were a single nation but were seperated from each other by 1,000 miles of Indian territory. "East Pakistan" broke away and declared itself a seperate nation called Bangladesh in 1971. When Pope Paul VI visited Pakistan in 1970, he only visited the city of Dacca which was in "East Pakistan" [now Bangladesh]. He did not visit "West Pakistan". However on this map Bangladesh is not colored red but Pakistan [the former "West Pakistan] *is* in red. Confusing?!? Yes indeed.  Can someone fix the map?

Also, Pope Paul VI visited Portugal but did NOT visit France. This needs to be changed as well Mtminchi08 (talk) 10:00, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
