Islamabad : Speaking at the Devcom-Pakistan Centre for Geopolitical Studies, the experts called upon the government to take on board the civil society, academia, and the private sector to collaborate in addressing these geopolitical challenges. By adopting a proactive and strategic approach, Pakistan can strengthen its resilience, safeguard its interests, and carve a stable and prosperous path forward in an increasingly uncertain world. The webinar put up strategic recommendations, emphasizing a multi-faceted approach to navigating the complex geopolitical landscape.

Key suggestions included strengthening ties with neighbouring countries and regional blocs to build collective security and economic resilience; reducing reliance on traditional markets by expanding trade partnerships and developing new economic sectors such as technology and renewable energy; actively engaging in water and resource diplomacy to secure Pakistan’s access to essential resources and mitigate the risks of conflict; and rationalizing relationships with global powers without compromising national interests, leveraging Pakistan’s strategic location as a regional pivot.
