Islamabad (TDI): Beginning the final day of the 6th International Young Diplomats School (IYDS), participants engaged in an insightful interactive dialogue with Raimundas Karoblis, the Ambassador of the European Union to Pakistan.
The discussion focused on EU–Pakistan relations, the EU’s global priorities, and key areas of cooperation including governance, development, climate action, and trade.
