This was stated by Dr Marc Barety, the newly appointed France Ambassador to Pakistan on Tuesday in a meeting with Higher Education Commission (HEC) Chairman Dr Mukhtar Ahmed.
Dr Ahmed hoped that bilateral collaborative efforts between Pakistan and France will be further strengthened in the days to come.
The chairman briefed the visiting envoy on joint projects between HEC and French partners including PERIDOT, a Franco-Pakistani Hubert Curien Partnership providing opportunities to Pakistani and French researchers to interact for joint research activities.
"Pakistan has a population of 100 million youth and it is a gold mine which needs to be tapped," Dr Ahmed stressed.
