Japan is the second largest donor to Pakistan and since 1954 Tokyo has provided ¥1.35 trillion for Pakistan through concessionary loans, grants and technical assistance for vocational training, energy sector, road and transport, said Ambassador of Japan Mitsuhiro Wada.
In a meeting with Minister for Economic Affairs Omar Ayub Khan on Monday, the ambassador said that Japan was now providing grant-in-aid for the improvement of water and sewerage system in Multan.
“Tokyo is also extending grant cultural assistance for the improvement of equipment for exhibition and conservation in the Taxila Museum,” he said.
He also pointed out that a water supply scheme in Haripur was being developed with the assistance of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
This project will help control the depletion of underground water.
