The theme of this years summit is 'Pakistan at 70: Looking at

event will look at the internal and external challenges faced by Pakistan in
the form of security and economic pressures. The event will witness 10 emerging
scholars on Pakistan presenting their research from Nuclear Proliferation,
Militancy and Radicalization to Constitutional Crisis in Pakistan. The Summit,
in its attempt to unpack the issues of Pakistan’s external and internal
political and security challenges aims to give way and empower the emerging
scholars on Pakistan in hopes that it will cultivate a community of future
scholars that not only de-westernise but also rigorously re-configure the
narrative on Pakistan.
