According to a post on the official website, Mir, whose career covering Pakistan and international affairs spans more than three decades, will write about Pakistani politics and geopolitical issues in the region.
“Hamid is a fearless journalist who has never wavered in providing honest reporting about the events in his country, despite pressure, including threats on his life, from political and terrorist groups,” stated Elias Lopez, senior Global Opinions editor.
“We are proud to welcome him to our section as part of our mission to offer an open forum for global debate and look forward to presenting his perspective on the most pressing issues facing Pakistan and its neighbors.”

He was also recognized by Reporters Without Borders as an information hero and has received numerous national awards.
