This month we turn 1 🎉. Hard to believe it’s already been a year of Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI)’s South Asia Snapshot. If the past twelve months have shown us anything, it’s that this region never sits still and neither will we.
U.S.-Pakistan ties are on an upswing, India-U.S. trade talks are back in motion, and Nepal's Gen Z is reshaping politics. ASPI’s Director of South Asia Initiatives @faamer breaks down key developments from #SouthAsia and what to watch next.
