The Center for International Strategic Studies (CISS) is a non-partisan think tank based in the scenic and serene city of Islamabad. Through an excellent team of experts and research professionals, we are dedicated to highlighting the evolving regional and global strategic issues and providing evidence-based analyses and policy recommendations to promote regional stability.

Since its establishment in 2010, CISS has been at the forefront of thought leadership, conducting in-depth research on issues including security, nuclear non-proliferation, arms control, geopolitics, and regional and global strategic stability.

Within a short span of around a decade since its formation, CISS has proven itself to be the voice of Pakistan’s strategic community and is moving from strength to strength on this path.
