Karachi isn’t just Pakistan’s largest city — it’s a dynamic global hub that connects East and West. Home to financial institutions, universities, media houses, and diplomatic missions, Karachi is the ideal location for a think tank like the International Relations Academy (IRA).

The city’s diversity, strategic importance, and intellectual vibrancy make it fertile ground for critical discussions in foreign policy, peace-building, and international cooperation. IRA leverages this unique position to bring global conversations to a local platform and empower young scholars to engage meaningfully with international issues.

In choosing Karachi as its base, IRA ensures that its work remains grounded, inclusive, and globally relevant.
