Might as well list my immediate impression, pre-thought.
Rice
Genie
Unicorn
Wood
Helmet
With thought:
Sure thing
Genie - evokes 'Arabian nights' image, may actually be derived from islamic culture
Looking good
Rice - many middle eastern and asian dishes have a rice foundation
Long shot
Wood - related to ancient culture, wooden ships, art, ancient structures
I feel any other thoughts I have are seriously reaching.
I'm strong on genie/rice in that order. Changing Pakistan to another middle eastern country or asian country actually makes it harder to get 2 answers. So I think choosing a country that is viewed as being both was deliberate. There are no obvious 2 answers for either a middle eastern country or asian country alone...genie is middle eastern, rice is asian, Pakistan kinda fits both.
