Strategic Thought, Multipolarity, & National Resilience | Dr. Zafar Nawaz Jaspal at COPAIR Seminar The Center of Pakistan and International Relations (COPAIR) had the distinct honor of convening a high-level seminar titled “Marq-e-Haq: Valor, Strategy, and Eternal Radiance” at the Centaurus Ballroom, Mövenpick Hotel Islamabad, commemorating the first anniversary of Marka-e-Haq—an enduring symbol of Pakistan’s national resilience, strategic clarity, and collective sacrifice. Among the distinguished speakers, Professor Dr. Zafar Nawaz Jaspal, Vice Chancellor of Quaid-i-Azam University, delivered a deeply analytical and intellectually enriching assessment of the evolving international order and the strategic transformations shaping contemporary global politics. In his address, Dr. Jaspal explored the emergence of an increasingly multipolar world order and examined how shifting geopolitical alignments, strategic competition among major powers, and evolving regional security architectures are reshaping international relations. He provided profound insights into the interplay between nuclear deterrence, regional stability, and strategic equilibrium in South Asia and beyond, emphasizing the importance of responsible diplomacy, strategic prudence, and intellectual preparedness in navigating contemporary geopolitical realities. Dr. Jaspal also highlighted the growing significance of hybrid warfare, technological disruption, information competition, and economic uncertainty in shaping the global strategic environment. He stressed that nations must strengthen both hard and soft power capabilities to preserve sovereignty, strategic autonomy, and long-term resilience. A key theme of his address was the indispensable role of universities and academic institutions as centers of strategic thought, critical inquiry, and policy innovation. He emphasized the importance of cultivating intellectual capital, analytical capacity, and informed policymaking to prepare future generations for emerging global challenges. The session served as an important platform for dialogue on national security, strategic communication, regional stability, and Pakistan’s future trajectory in an increasingly contested international landscape. 🔔 Like, Share & Subscribe for more discussions on strategic affairs, geopolitics, national security, and policy dialogue. #COPAIR #DrZafarJaspal #StrategicStudies #Multipolarity #NationalSecurity - @copairdialogue123
