The ambassador stressed that Afghanistan needs professionals who possess not only a deep understanding of their respective fields but also practical skills and a strong sense of responsibility to address the country’s economic, educational, and social challenges. He added that Afghanistan can achieve progress through education, research, and innovation, and graduates must play their role in shaping the country’s future.
The Acting Ambassador also highlighted the Afghan government’s efforts in educational policy, talent development, and the expansion of learning opportunities. He assured that the government remains committed to promoting higher education, research, and scientific innovation. Furthermore, he expressed gratitude to the Government of Pakistan, the people, and educational institutions—particularly the leadership and faculty of the International Islamic University—as well as the Afghan Students’ Union for their valuable contributions in facilitating the academic growth of Afghan students.
