Recent weeks have reminded us that diplomacy is more marathon than sprint. The @UTAustin South Asia Institute hosts @HinaRKhar, former Foreign Minister of Pakistan, for a timely dialogue on Pakistan’s role in mediating between U.S. and Iran—and the prospects for peace.

We have bipartisan consensus on developing critical minerals domestically. The question is how: smart industrial policy that invests in high-value parts of the supply chain, transparency, innovation, & closing the skilled labor gap (~50K jobs/20 yrs). Great dialogue at UT Energy Week

From idea to reality. Yesterday, the first cohort of the @TheLBJSchool #Texas Metropolitan #Leadership Initiative came together for our inaugural executive seminar — and it was exactly what we hoped it would be. TMLI was built on a simple premise: #TX #cities are growing fast, facing hard problems, and the leaders navigating those challenges deserve a space to learn from each other. #Policy
