Why Pakistan Needs a Dedicated International Relations Academy

IRA

Published by IRA | July 2025

In today’s rapidly evolving global landscape, Pakistan stands at a crucial crossroads in foreign policy, regional security, and global diplomacy. Despite the growing interest in International Relations (IR) among students and scholars, a critical gap exists in connecting academic theory with real-world policy and diplomacy.

The International Relations Academy (IRA), based in Karachi, fills this void. By offering structured research, expert-led training, and collaborative forums, IRA helps prepare the next generation of global thinkers. Its establishment marks a bold step toward strengthening Pakistan’s voice on the international stage, fostering regional stability, and nurturing a new wave of diplomacy rooted in deep academic insight.

As global challenges become increasingly interconnected, IRA’s work is not just relevant — it’s essential.
