Islamabad is the capital of Pakistan

The answer is True.

Explanation

It is a planned city established on 14 August 1967 (exactly 20 years after independence) to replace Karachi as the national capital. With a population of about 1.1 million (about 2.4 million in the wider Capital Territory), it sits at ~540 m elevation on the Pothohar Plateau at the foot of the Margalla Hills, just north of Rawalpindi.
