Rector Highlights Strategic and Operational Dimensions of Peace at an Interactive Dialogue

In a thought-provoking interactive session with a delegation of allied officers from different friendly countries studying at Command & Staff College Quetta, Rector NUST Dr Muhammad Zahid Latif delved into the pressing issue of Sustainable Peace in the context of South Asia.

During his talk followed by a Q&A session held at NUST Centre for International Peace & Stability (CIPS) on February 10, 2025, he raised a series of questions inspiring audience to reflect on prospects of peace and possibilities of conflict.

The Rector also talked at length on the complexity of both inter-state and intra-state conflicts. “Wars have historically been waged in the pursuit of peace,” he stated, “but can wars truly lead us to lasting peace? And if the answer is no, what other approaches do we need to explore and practice to make the world a peaceful place.”
He highlighted that NUST-CIPS is one such institution that specialises in fostering dialogue and raising awareness on peacefully handling the conflicts.
