Fauzia Nasreen (Former Ambassador): It is very welcoming development that both Iran and Pakistan agreed on having exchanges in field of education. Iran has progressed a lot in science and technology, especially in Nano sector. Pakistan stands to benefit from Iranian expertise in Nano technology. In addition, education in general is a field where both countries can collaborate. A little handicap might be the medium of instruction in Iran that is Persian. Iran has good expertise in horticulture and they can teach us on how to grow and export flowers. Iran is experimenting with new agricultural techniques and Islamabad can also get help of Iranian agricultural experts to boost its agri production. Iran can also help meet Pakistan’s energy needs with oil and gas pipelines. We have to see how we can get benefit in this regard keeping in view the sanctions regime on Iran.
