Join us for a lunch conversation with Senior Fellow and former Pakistani National Security Advisor Moeed Yusuf on Pakistan’s ongoing role in the Iran war. Moderated by Maureen Page, Dr. Yusuf will discuss Pakistan’s current priorities and the challenges it faces as it seeks to engage and mediate among the relevant parties. He will also examine how the conflict has affected Pakistan’s security partnerships and strategic calculations. As a middle power, how is Pakistan reassessing its existing security relationships? And will the conflict accelerate efforts to diversify its partnerships and expand its strategic options?
