The 3rd Workshop comes to a successful conclusion! 👏🏼 Always a proud moment to organise such events, but wouldn’t be possible without the support of the amazing StrafAsia team. Esp Ma’am @Aiza_Azam and Sir @f_aider who are always ready with their rescue missions & guidance. 🤝🏼
Futures Workshop #3 on Shifting Geopolitics in the Indo-Pacific & Middle Power Autonomy concluded successfully as a truly collaborative effort, bringing together rigorous scenario-based policy thinking across all tables. A sincere appreciation goes to the StrafAsia organising team Dr. Adil Sultan (@adilsultan), Ms. Aiza Azam (@Aiza_Azam ), and Mr. Faraz Haider (@f_aider) for their vision and leadership, along with Research Intern - Anas Yamin (@AnasYamin_) and Research Assistant - Nuverah Ansari (@nuverah_a) for their dedicated support in making the workshop seamless and impactful. Special thanks to our esteemed guest panelists, Amb. (R) Masood Khan (@Masood__Khan) and Rear Admiral (R) Faisal Shah, for their insightful contributions and time. Finally, gratitude to all participants whose engagement, ideas, and energy made the discussions genuinely enriching and thought-provoking. @mqasimmustafa @jafar_mobeen @t_bhatti09 @ali9119 @kakaryasir1 @warscholiast @nadrafiq @FarehaIqtidar @shamsZaman_72 @ovesanwar @khansheharyar @NDF_Pak

Futures Workshop # 3 on Shifting Geopolitics in the Indo-Pacific & Middle Power Autonomy turned into a live policy lab, with each table engaging distinct scenarios and crafting strategic recommendations under expert facilitation. Table A, guided by Dr. @adilsultan , with Scenario A: Indispensable Pivot examined a US-led entrenched order where middle powers actively shape outcomes. Pakistan emerging as a key stabilizing actor, tensions rising in US–India ties, CPEC 2.0 accelerating, and Pakistan transitioning out of the IMF program. Amb. @Masood__Khan also shared his expert opinions on the scenario. A strong exercise in translating geopolitical futures into actionable policy thinking. @ovesanwar @khansheharyar
The Indo-Pacific is entering a period of geopolitical flux. As major powers compete and middle powers seek greater strategic autonomy, what futures lie ahead? StrafAsia's 3rd Futures Workshop will explore the possibilities — from regional order and alliance dynamics to #strategicforesight and policy pathways. 📅 8th June 2026 By invite only. #IndoPacific #Geopolitics #MiddlePowerAutonomy #InternationalRelations . . @Aiza_Azam @adilsultan @f_aider

Futures Workshop #3 on Shifting Geopolitics in the Indo-Pacific & Middle Power Autonomy brought together multiple scenario tables, each engaging in structured deliberation and crafting policy recommendations under dedicated facilitators. Table D, “Storm Without a Compass,” facilitated by Mr. Faraz Haider (@f_aider) , examined a rapidly fragmenting regional order marked by a surge in TTP activity, instability in Afghanistan and Iran, reversal of Saudi–Iran rapprochement with competing Gulf approaches toward Pakistan, escalating China–India tensions including potential border conflict, and an overall erosion of regional stability faster than any alternative order could emerge. @mqasimmustafa @jafar_mobeen @t_bhatti09

For the participants of our 3rd @Strafasia_PK Futures Workshop next week, this development aligns with the themes we will be discussing on Monday. Looking forward to getting into it with everyone! @adilsultan @f_aider @nuverah_a @AnasYamin_
Days after the Quad foreign ministers’ meeting, India and Australia have agreed to deepen cooperation on maritime surveillance and undersea monitoring in a commitment toward what they described as a “free and prosperous Indo-Pacific,” media reported on Monday. A Chinese expert noted on Tuesday that such a move intends to promote bloc-based alignment of regional waters under the banner of a "free and prosperous Indo-Pacific," which in reality serves as military deployments, intelligence sharing and maritime surveillance, pushing a shift that runs counter to the prevailing development aspirations of regional economies. globaltimes.cn/page/202606/1…

To peace or not to peace...has been the prevailing theme the past month or so. Though, its larger than just this war. International Relations, Security Studies and Geopolitics is becoming more and more happening. One of those times where you either hasten the sail or find a good engine, because the winds are moving, whether its the Indo-Pacific, Middle East, South Asia or so on. In any case, pens and papers better be out. @Strafasia_PK

Our BS-IR students visited #SUPARCO for an insightful experience bridging #spacetech with #strategicstudies. With #Astropolitics offered at the BS level, FASS remains among Pakistan’s pioneering social science departments exploring space, security & geopolitics 🚀. @adilsultan

🚨 Anthropic just showed a 24-minute workshop on how to actually do prompts for Claude. Taught by the people who built it. Free. No registration. No paywall. I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes. Watch it and bookmark it now.

Efficiency shouldn't drown out the consequences! My take on the cost of AI integration into military operations.
New | AI systems have been integrated into military planning by countries such as the US and Israel. This integration has proven lethal for civilians in Iran and Gaza due to machine errors without human oversight, writes @AnasYamin_ Read more: cscr.pk/explore/themes/defen…

And yet they say that they are not Pakistan obsessed...
India may add a USA to its economy next year but why this obsession with Pakistan??
