The President of Pakistan, Dr. Arif Alvi, issued a statement on Thursday in Islamabad encouraging closer ties between Sri Lanka and Pakistan in the areas of trade, economy, and education.
He remarked that the already warm ties between the two countries could be expanded for everyone’s benefit. In order to foster understanding between the two nations’ citizens, he emphasised the importance of greater collaboration in the fields of higher education, academia, and research.

Twenty Sri Lankan high-ranking civil servants are currently at Pakistan’s National Defence University in Islamabad for a two-week training programme in areas such as international relations, peace and strategic studies, public policy, leadership, and management. The president has called on the government to prioritise the needs of the people, increase the effectiveness of the system, and use all of their skills and expertise to propel the country forward quickly.
He suggested that developing nations prioritise improving their education and healthcare systems, in addition to taking swift action to deal with their problems. The president has stated that politicians and bureaucrats must embrace new technologies and act swiftly in order to pave the way for innovation in the IT industry.
According to him, countries should prioritise building knowledge economies and fostering their citizens’ brainpower if they want to rise to the top of the international stage. He claimed that by prioritising the IT sector and implementing business-friendly policies, developing nations could speed up their economic growth.
