A top Pakistani engineering university is planning to offer students a Turkish language learning program.
In Karachi on Friday, NED University of Engineering and Technology and Turkey’s Maarif Foundation signed an agreement for this reason.
According to Ahmet Sami Demir, Maarif Foundation’s Karachi coordinator, the Turkish agency will assist the university in conducting the language course.
Cultural and educational exchanges will also take place between the two countries.
Tolga Ucak, the Turkish consul general in Karachi, spoke at the ceremony and said the venture will reinforce the historical relations between Pakistan and Turkey.
The Turkish language program will initially be optional for students, but due to its popularity and necessity, Prof Sarosh Hashmat Lodhi, university’s vice-chancellor, believes it will be made mandatory in the future.
