Tensions between India and Pakistan remain a serious concern, with recurring flare-ups along borders and unresolved disputes continuing to endanger regional peace and stability. The threat of war looms not only over the two nations involved but also over the broader South Asian and global communities. In these urgent times, the call for peaceful dialogue and non-violent resolution has never been more vital.
We cordially invite you to participate in an important international online forum titled “India – Pakistan Conflicts: A Call for De-escalation of Tension and Peaceful Resolution.” This event seeks to bring together peace advocates, political analysts, and civil society leaders from across Asia to foster dialogue, share perspectives, and explore practical paths toward de-escalation and long-term peace in the region.
This forum will feature key speakers from both India and Pakistan, as well as regional moderators from civil society movements who have long worked to promote peace, human rights, and development. The session will serve as a platform for constructive discussion and collective reflection on the urgent need to prevent further conflict and invest in diplomatic solutions.

This forum is jointly organized by the Stop the War Coalition Philippines, the Asian Cultural Forum on Development (ACFOD), and the Asian Social Movement, all of whom have played significant roles in mobilizing grassroots peace initiatives and facilitating cross-border dialogue in Asia.
We encourage participation from scholars, students, civil society practitioners, journalists, peacebuilders, and anyone concerned with South Asia’s future. This is a valuable opportunity to listen, learn, and contribute to the growing call for diplomacy, justice, and peace in a region long affected by conflict.
Let us come together to raise our voices for peace and push for dialogue over confrontation, understanding over hostility, and cooperation over conflict. Your presence and input are important.
