Perfect! This is very good! You will not need any sort of voltage adapter (they are always big, heavy and they can't handle too much energy. i.e. might have problems with hairdryers). You can plug your devices to the electric network grid in Pakistan without requiring a voltage adapter.

Plugs Type

Same connectors

Ideal situation, all the connectors used in Congo-Kinshasa are also used in Pakistan. You will not need any adapter (but please check voltages and the other sections of this report). Congratulations!!!!

This adapter allows you to use plugs type: A, B, D, G, I, M into outlets type: C, E, F, L.
