ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Education and Professional Training Shafqat Mahmood on Wednesday suggested the Pak-UK Business Council to discover new opportunities for promoting Pakistan’s export and trade with the UK after completion of Brexit.
The Pak-UK Business Council’s six-member delegation led by the Chairman, Khursheed Barlas, met Mahmood here on Wednesday at his office.
They discussed exchange of students and faculty members for various short courses of cutting-edge technology, vocational training, and skilled education.
It was also discussed to support the youth through scholarships, who could not afford the expenses otherwise.
Appreciating the Pak-UK ties in the field of education, the Federal Minister for Education said the DFID was supporting in many education-related projects of the Punjab and the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and also in collaboration with the HEC.
It is also helping the Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training to set up a state-of-the-art organisation for data collection, and pledged to support £9 million.
Mahmood also commended the role of the Pak-UK Business Council for resolving the issues faced by the Pakistan business community, and enhancing bilateral trade relations with the UK.
