On behalf of The Voltaire Society, I warmly welcome all of you to the second session of our
discussion series, “The Muslim Cold War.”
The Voltaire Society is a student-led academic platform operating under the Department of
International Relations and Political Science, University of Central Punjab, committed to
promoting critical discussion on contemporary political and international issues.
Today’s session, “Muslim Cold War Post-2000 and Implications on Pakistan,” explores the
evolving rivalries, proxy conflicts, and shifting power dynamics within the Muslim world since
2000, and examines their political, strategic, and security implications for Pakistan.
To discuss this important topic, we are honored to have two distinguished speakers with us
today. Raheel Qamar from 8th semester political Science.

* Speaker Two will then speak for 20 minutes.
* This will be followed by a 20-minute Q&A session with the audience.

Without further delay, I would like to invite our first speaker, [Speaker Name], to begin the
