Lahore The International Youth Summit Pakistan (IYSP) — formerly IYSL — is Pakistan’s most prominent international youth diplomacy and leadership forum. Since its inception in 2017, it has brought together young leaders, activists, entrepreneurs, academics, and diplomats from across the globe to Pakistan, fostering dialogue, cultural exchange, and collaborative action on the world’s most pressing challenges. The first three editions, held in 2017, 2018, and 2019, collectively welcomed over 300 delegates from more than 60 countries. Following a hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the summit is now being revived under a new organising body — the Centre for Regional Strategy & Global Affairs (CRSGA) at the University of Lahore. IYSP 2026 — the 4th edition — marks a bold evolution: from a youth exchange programme to a full-fledged international strategic dialogue platform, operating under the theme: “Shaping Tomorrow: Youth, Strategy & the New World Order” The summit features five strategic thematic pillars:
Geopolitics & the Shifting World Order
Regional Connectivity & Geo-Economics
Governance, Security & Emerging Threats
Strategic Technologies & Digital Governance
Youth Leadership & Global Dialogue Delegates participate in plenary sessions, parallel workshops, speaker talks, and delegate working groups. They collectively draft the IYSP 2026 Communiqué — a formal youth-led policy document submitted to governments and international bodies. The programme spans 7 days: 2 intensive conference days followed by 5 activity days including city visits, cultural tours, and authentic Pakistani hospitality across Lahore and beyond. ### Location: Pakistan ### Benefits
