Mustafa Qadri

I’m Middle East and South Asia correspondent for The Diplomat, Australia’s only dedicated international affairs magazine. I write a regular column called “Inside South Asia” along with Madhav Nalapat UNESCO Peace Chair and professor of geopolitics at Manipal University, India. You can read our conversation here.

I have also written a number of reports for the print edition of The Diplomat:
