The seminar was addressed by a panel of speakers which included Khalid Mehmood, former Ambassador; Lt. Gen. (R) Talat Masood, Ex. Secretary of Defense Production; Fasih Uddin, Ex-Chief Economist and member National Academic Council (NAC) of IPS; Dr. Nazir Hussain, Prof. at Quaid-i-Azam University; Barrister Sadia Abbasi, Member Senate, Pakistan, and member NAC. Tanvir Ahmed Khan, Ex-Foreign Secretary, chaired the proceedings.
The speakers highlighted the developing geo-political scenario of the region vis-à-vis the tension on the Iran’s nuclear issue and evaluated the possible impact of the sanctions on Iran and its repercussions for the region and Pakistan in particular.
