Gilgit Baltistan, which became a single administrative unit in [[1970]], was formed from the amalgamation of the [[Gilgit Agency]], the [[Baltistan District]] of the [[Ladakh|Ladakh Wazarat]], and the states of [[Hunza (princely state)|Hunza]] and [[Nagar (princely state)|Nagar]]. Gilgit Baltistan remains part of the Kashmir dispute. The [[Government of Pakistan]] since Independence regards the entire area of Jammu and Kashmir as "territory in dispute" to be resolved by a [[plebiscite]] to be held throughout the former state in order to determine the area's final accession to either India or merger with Pakistan. Gilgit Baltistan is governed by a Governor and a Chief minister, the latter elected by a legislative assembly. Gilgit Baltistan covers 64,817 [[square kilometre|km²]] (28,174 [[square mile|mi²]]). | Gilgit Baltistan, which became a single administrative unit in [[1970]], was formed from the amalgamation of the [[Gilgit Agency]], the [[Baltistan District]] of the [[Ladakh|Ladakh Wazarat]], and the states of [[Hunza (princely state)|Hunza]] and [[Nagar (princely state)|Nagar]].
