A delegation of 15 Pakistani university students and a supervisor will visit Japan from January 17 to 27 under the “Japan-Saarc Network Program of People-to-People Exchange (Jenesys)”.
University students from the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) member countries have been invited by the Japanese government to participate in the programme.
Japanese Ambassador Hiroshi Inomata handed over travel documents to the selected students at an orientation ceremony held at the embassy, here on Wednesday.
The embassy, in collaboration with the Mext Alumni Association of Pakistan (Maap), selected the students, who represent the four provinces of Pakistan.
