As India and Pakistan engage in a new round of hostilities, experts look into the long-term implications for stability in the region and what the crisis means for both countries.
Following the deadly terror attacks on India-administer Kashmir in April 2025, India launched retaliatory strikes on targets inside Pakistan. The stated aim of demolishing terror operations against India. However, this latest round of violence along the India-Pakistan border highlights the tension in one world’s most volatile hot spots.
The latest in a long history of episodes of conflict between the two neighbours, and with a fragile international order struggling to maintain peace around the world, this session will ask what is the likelihood of a broader conflict between India and Pakistan?
Alongside this, experts will look key questions including:
- What are the pathways to de-escalating tensions?
- Is there potential for wider regional conflict?
- Can the international community contain the potential for war?
- How do hostilities impact India and Pakistan’s broader regional and global ambitions?
