The Pakistani High Commission in Sri Lanka is preparing to launch the Pakistan Alumni Society of Sri Lanka.

The move comes with the aim of fostering, encouraging and promoting close relations between the people of Pakistan and Sri Lanka, and to provide support to prospective Sri Lankan students engaged in higher education in Pakistan.

The Alumni Society aims to connect universities of both nations under various scholarship programmes. Through the society, the public and private sectors, as well as the civil society will have the opportunity to build networks and create professional opportunities, which will ultimately contribute to the development of Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

The purpose of this alumni society is to engage members and provide them means to learn, integrate, and share what they learned during their education/training for the benefits of a larger community.
