Former Pakistan Ambassador to the United Nations (2002 to 2008)

Munir Akram has enjoyed a long and distinguished diplomatic career and is now ready to step out from behind the diplomatic curtain and tell what he knows and offer his perspective on what the goals of the United States should be in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and how they can be obtained. Ambassador Akram, perhaps better than anyone, knows how the Pakistanis, the Taliban, the Afghans, eat, drink, sleep and think.
