Islamabad:
The Institute of Regional Studies (IRS) organized a seminar entitled “Evaluation of renewed security challenges for the CPEC climb after Indo-Pak”.
The event brought together outstanding professionals, diplomats, policy formulators, experts, academics and intellectuals that collectively advocated strategic regional alliances, solid internal reforms, economic resilience, advanced security infrastructure and proactive diplomatic commitments to overcome current and emerging challenges for the Chinese economic corridor by China.
Pakistan’s old envoy to China, Naghmana Hashmi, linked an increase in terrorism with broader geopolitical tensions, particularly Western apprehensions towards China’s rise.
Analyzing how the recent climbing of Indo-Pak dissipated the myths surrounding the military domain of India, which led to the Western powers to reconsider their strategic dependence on India, urged integral internal reforms, particularly addressing socio-economic complaints in Baluchistan.
Major General (Retd) Dr. Samrez Salik, with a doctorate at CPEC, emphasized Pakistan’s critical transformation of a state -centered state to an economically driven state, which depends significantly on CPEC’s success.
