Pakistan’s Embassy in Kabul on Thursday arranged a party for as many as 56 students who had been selected for MPhil and PhD programmes through scholarship scheme awarded by Islamabad, Pajhwok Afghan News reported.

Addressing the gathering Pakistan’s Ambassador Zahid Nasrullah Khan reiterated Islamabad’s commitment for providing better education facilities for Afghan students.

These students may play a vital role in strengthening bilateral relationship between two countries, he said, adding that more scholarships would be given to Afghan students in the future.



“The scholarship sachem could help promote cultural and economic cooperation between nations,” the envoy said.
