In the art of governance, independent policy analysis is considered the lifeblood of crucial decision making. However, this has not been so in recent times. There are many reasons for this. The absence of independent, dynamic entities in conducting balanced exercises could be one. The reduction of professional norms of decision making in the realm of governance could be another.

Factum endeavors to address these gaps by being an apolitical, independent and professional think-tank that provides unbiased analysis to a local and international clientele. From military cooperation, geo-economic diplomacy and people-to-people exchanges to health and pandemic cooperation, our vision is to be the one-stop-shop for everything related to international relations.

The perspectives and opinions we offer cover a range of global and regional issues. Our work also extends to strategic communications and tech cooperation, areas that call for the kind of precision, accuracy and objectivity that we possess.

Factum is ideal for budding diplomats, students and others who have developed a keen interest in global politics, trade, environment, culture and other areas that define and shape international relations in a rapidly changing world.

We also engage in developing and nurturing aspiring diplomats. We aim to equip the next generation with the necessary knowledge and analytical skills, in the belief that foreign policy is a subject that should reach out to everyone in a country.

Your requirement may not necessarily be confined to Sri Lanka. Our teams in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Myanmar, Indonesia, Nepal and elsewhere could also enrich analysis and commentary by providing a regional and multinational perspective.
