Richard Ghiasy, researcher in SIPRI's Armed Conflict and Conflict Management Programme, contributed to a series of 'track 2' dialogues between the USA and China on Afghanistan and Pakistan. Participants addressed the Afghan peace process, the role of the Quadrilateral Coordination Group and economic connectivity in the region as an incentive for peace.

The dialogue series, held in Kyrgyzstan in June, was jointly organized by NYU's Center on International Cooperation and the China Institute of International Studies.
