While briefing the delegation, the Punjab University vice-chancellor Arshad Mahmood said that it was heartening that Higher Education Commission had initiated special assistance programme for the faculty exchange and visit to universities.
In the increasing globalised world, linkages among organisations and professionals were becoming more and more important for national growth and development.
Nations without active co-operation / linkage with other nations would face hardships towards development.
The researchers and academicians could be very useful to many of their counterparts in several countries around the globe, he added.
Through the mutual interaction between personnel from each of the university and the professionals from overseas, skills and expertise could be shared.
And as a result they could improve their capabilities and enhance expertise through mutual learning, he maintained.
