Dr Rahman said that there are many international universities that are investing in Pakistan and setting up their campuses in the country.
Italian Consul-General Dr Gianluca Rubagotti also graced the event. He visited the stalls and appreciated the efforts of the Express media group for arranging the education expo, which is an important platform for students who are looking for higher education opportunities. “It is like everything is under one roof to help the students,” he said. “Students do not have to go from university to university to get details for admission and further studies courses.”
The consul-general said there are three universities that are teaching the Italian language – Karachi University, Greenwich University and Institute of Business Management.
