With escalating violence in Afghanistan, intensifying competition between the United States and China, limited hopes for rapprochement with India, and the COVID-19 pandemic, Pakistan’s neighborhood is evolving — and Pakistan’s national security approach will have to evolve with it. On August 5, USIP hosted a conversation with Pakistan’s National Security Advisor Moeed Yusuf. The discussion looked at what these developments mean for Pakistan’s national security outlook towards its neighbors and its relationship with the United States, as well as how the pandemic impacts Pakistan’s security and economic policy.
SpeakersLise Grande, opening remarks President and CEO, U.S. Institute of Peace
Dr. Moeed Yusuf National Security Advisor, Islamic Republic of Pakistan
Ambassador Richard Olson, moderator Senior Advisor, U.S. Institute of Peace
