Ahsan Iqbal described returning to Keble College, University of Oxford after 33 years as an intensely pleasant experience. The Oxford return revived memories of his participation in the Duke of Edinburgh CSC leadership programme in 1992 and offered a moment of personal reflection on the journey since then.
Attending the URAAN Pakistan conference at Keble College made the visit especially memorable, as he connected with delegates in the same collegiate setting where he first engaged in international leadership development. The Oxford return highlighted the continuity between past training and present conversations among Pakistani leaders and academics abroad.
Mr. Iqbal said the occasion was both nostalgic and energising, noting how the 1992 CSC leadership programme influenced his outlook and how the URAAN Pakistan gathering rekindled those formative ties. Such visits reinforce individual bonds with institutions like Keble College and underscore Pakistan’s ongoing participation in global leadership forums.
