The Institute of Peace and Diplomatic Studies (IPDS) is an autonomous, nonpartisan research think tank based in Islamabad, Pakistan.

We combine research, specialized leadership training, and proactive advocacy to advance global diplomacy, peace, and security. We bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application with customized programs for academics, diplomats, and the general public.

Our foundation stone was laid down by Prof. Dr. Johan Galtung, Father of Global Peace Studies.
