ED CISS, Ambassador Ali Sarwar Naqvi participated as a speaker in an “International Conference on Global Peace Amidst War and Conflict” that was held in Islamabad on 17th-18th September 2018. The conference dwelled on the theme of the emerging world order and subsequent changing statecraft amid the rising China and brewing rivalry in Southeast Asia and India Ocean.
Ambassador Naqvi talked about Pakistan’s strategic neighborhood and challenges that Pakistan faces due to Indo-US strategic convergence. He said “the foremost challenge confronting Pakistan was to put its own house in order, sustaining achievements in countering terrorism, and improving the economy. Pakistan finds itself adrift in an environment of challenges. We have faced such challenges in the past and I am confident we can meet them now as well”.
