Prime Minister Imran Khan will launch an exclusive and integrated advisory portal on Wednesday for the purpose of engaging academia and think tanks in policymaking.
The portal was developed by the National Security Division (NSD) to allow the leading think tanks and universities to collaborate on matters of national security and to share recommendations and ideas directly with the national leadership.
Many governments around the world collaborate using think tanks and integrate their recommendations into policymaking to propagate positive images of their countries.
