Need for UAE-Pak ties in S&T stressed
ABU DHABI - Pakistan has underlined the need for cooperation with the UAE in the field of science and technology which offers great potential in bringing the two nations closer.
"There exist several avenues of cooperation. There is need of joint ventures in the area of education and higher learning between the two countries," Pakistan's Minister for Science & Technology, Dr Ataur Rahman told a Press conference here yesterday.
He described the UAE Minister for Education and Scientific Research Shaikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan as a man of vision, who wants to get his country recognised as a hub of higher education and learning.
About his initiatives in Pakistan for the encouragement of science and technology, Dr Rahman said: "A plan to reverse the brain drain, that resulted in acute shortage of technocrats in institutions of excellence and higher learning, has received a positive response from scientists living abroad".
"Against an annual target of encouraging 300 PhDs and technocrats to return to their homeland, some 70 PhDs have taken up new assignments in research institutions and universities on a reasonable salary of $3000 to $4000 per month," the minister said. During the last three years, Pakistan has initiated several programmes to raise the number of PhDs in the field of science and technology in 57 universities, the minister added.
"We are focusing on bio-technology, information technology, genetics engineering, physics, mathematics, engineering sciences, besides other streams of knowledge,"the minister said.
