"They have poised full co-operation to further the cause of development through science and technology in Comsats member countries," said Executive Director, Commission on Science and Technology for Sustainable Development in the South (Comsats), Dr Hameed Ahmed Khan.
The Executive Director, who visited Japan, Switzerland and Germany recently, said during his stay he met with several heads and officials of international and regional organisations and discussed issues of mutual interest.
Talking to APP here on Sunday, Khan said he attended a number of international moot and roundtables with organisations such as Japan International Co-operation Agency (JICA), United Nations University (UNU) and United Nations Commission on S&T for Development (CSTD) resulted in fostering synergies and furthering the understanding and close relationship.

The Executive Director Comsats, who attended the seventh session of United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) at Geneva said it provided an opportunity to exchange views with delegates from various walks of life.

During his stay in Tokyo, he paid visit to two leading universities of Japan - Nihon and Waseda, and also met with President and Deputy Chief of JICA.
The meeting with JICA officials helped identify various areas of mutual collaboration. The meeting resolved to allow young participants from Comsats member countries to benefit from the JICA's Youth Invitation Programme, and to facilitate JICA to use Comsats platform for the Expert Dispatch Programme in the Comsats member countries.
