Transatlantic Workshop on Pakistan
Pakistan is arguably the most pressing security challenge facing the international community today, given its geographic location adjacent to Afghanistan, India, Iran and China; growing nuclear arsenal; terrorist infrastructure; powerful security apparatus; and large and fast-growing population. Although deserving of urgent international attention for all these reasons, Pakistan remains a low priority on the transatlantic agenda and there are few efforts at coordinating Western approaches toward the country.
GMF’s Transatlantic Workshop on Pakistan provides a venue for American and European officials and experts to share insights on developments in Pakistan and to enhance cooperation and policy coordination. The workshop also benefits from inputs from leading Pakistani experts and commentators and allows participants to discuss a wide range of issues, including terrorism, nuclear non-proliferation and security, civil-military relations, law and order, the state of the economy, and Pakistan’s relations with Afghanistan and India. In 2009, and again in 2011, GMF’s Asia Program organized workshops in Paris which involved the participation of several American and European envoys to Afghanistan and Pakistan, U.S. policymakers, and leading Pakistani public intellectuals. The next Transatlantic Workshop on Pakistan, to be co-hosted with France’s Ministry of Defense, will be take place on December 14-15 in Paris.
In addition to the Transatlantic Workshop, GMF’s other Pakistan-related activities have included commissioned papers by leading experts as part of the ‘On Pakistan’ series. These papers assessed recent and ongoing strategic, political, and economic developments in Pakistan, how they have impacted the West, and how the international community can work with Pakistan to advance shared interests.
