The latest edition of the CISS Roundup captures Pakistan’s evolving strategic and technological landscape amid global realignments. From the launch of the Pakistan Remote Sensing Satellite EO (SAR) marking a new phase in Pakistan’s space renaissance, to analyses on India’s bunker-buster modernization, Indo-Israel security cooperation, and narrative warfare, this issue explores the shifting contours of South Asia’s deterrence dynamics.

At the global level, the edition reviews China’s multidimensional strategy to reshape the global order, the Trump–Putin Alaska Summit, and U.S.–India trade frictions, situating Pakistan’s diplomacy within broader debates on strategic stability and great-power competition. Together, these analyses underline how regional developments intersect with wider transformations in the global security order.

Institutionally, CISS advanced its Track-II diplomacy through the CISS–CACDA Strategic Dialogue and consultations with CICIR in Beijing, reinforcing China–Pakistan cooperation on arms control and emerging technologies. Extensive media engagements and expert contributions reaffirm CISS’s commitment to informed analysis and dialogue for peace, strategic stability, and development.
