Pakistan inaugurates pavilion at GETEX Dubai 2025 to showcase educational potential
GETEX is considered the region's most established student recruitment platform. This year it is taking place from April 30 to May 2 at the Dubai World Trade Center.
The pavilion was formally inaugurated by Muhammad alongside Dr. Chaudhry Abdul Rehman, the chairman of the Association of Private Sector Universities of Pakistan (APSUP).
'The Global Education and Training Exhibition (GETEX) 2025 is currently underway in Dubai, where, for the first time, a dedicated Pakistan Pavilion has been established, marking a significant milestone in the country's academic outreach on the global stage,' the Consulate General of Pakistan in Dubai said.
The statement said Dr. Rehman is leading a 35-member delegation of vice chancellors and senior academic leaders from across Pakistan at the event.
Muhammad commended the participation of Pakistan's private universities at GETEX, noting that their presence reflects the country's growing academic excellence and innovation.
'He lauded APSUP's leadership in bringing together a strong delegation and highlighted the importance of showcasing Pakistan's educational potential in international forums,' the statement said.
During the exhibition, UAE Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahyan also visited the Pakistan Pavilion.
'He was warmly received and briefed by Prof. Dr. Rehman and praised the initiative as a valuable step forward in strengthening academic cooperation between the UAE and Pakistan, assuring full support for future engagements,' the Consulate General of Pakistan in Dubai said.
Pakistan and the UAE enjoy cordial ties rooted in shared faith and culture. The UAE is home to over a million Pakistani expatriates — the second-largest overseas Pakistani community globally — and a major source of remittance inflows to Pakistan.
Policymakers in Islamabad view the UAE as an ideal export destination due to its geographic proximity, which lowers freight costs and facilitates smoother trade.
In recent months, the two countries have signed a series of agreements to boost economic ties.

Pakistan launches new security operation against militants near Afghan border
KHAR: Pakistani security forces have launched a 'targeted operation' against militants in a restive northwestern district bordering Afghanistan, displacing tens of thousands of residents who have fled to safer areas, officials said Tuesday. There was no formal announcement of the launch of the offensive in Bajaur, a former stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, but a government administrator, Saeed Ullah, said it was not a large-scale operation and only insurgent hideouts were being hit to avoid civilian casualties. Another government administrator, Shahhid Ali, said the number of displaced people had rapidly increased to nearly 100,000. Residents reported that security forces, backed by helicopters, struck militant hideouts in the mountainous areas along the Afghan border. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police chief Zulfiqar Hameed said the operation was ongoing. Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan or TTP, are a separate group but a close ally of the Afghan Taliban, who seized power in Afghanistan in August 2021, as US and NATO troops were in the final stages of their pullout from the country after 20 years of war. Many TTP leaders and fighters have found sanctuary in Afghanistan and have been living there openly since the Taliban takeover, and some have crossed the border back into Bajaur and carried out attacks. Pakistan also carried out a major operation in Bajaur against Pakistani and foreign militants in 2009, displacing hundreds of thousands of people.

Malaysia, Bangladesh among regional partners sending peace mission to Myanmar
Malaysia, Bangladesh and some regional partners will send a joint delegation to Myanmar to push for peace and humanitarian aid for Rohingya refugees, the Southeast Asian nation's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Tuesday. Bangladesh shelters more than 1 million Rohingya refugees in camps in its southeastern district of Cox's Bazar, the world's largest refugee settlement. Anwar's comments came at the start of a three-day visit by Bangladesh's interim head, Nobel peace laureate Muhammad Yunus, to Malaysia. 'To secure peace in Myanmar is of course a great priority, along with immediate humanitarian assistance for the suffering first, the refugees and also the victims of earthquakes,' Anwar told a joint press briefing with Yunus. Malaysia's foreign minister will coordinate the Myanmar mission, set for the coming weeks, along with counterparts from Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand, added Anwar, who is chair of the ASEAN regional grouping this year. 'We are concerned with the burden placed on Bangladesh on having to cater for enormous numbers of Rohingya refugees.' Escalating conflict and targeted violence against the Rohingya, a mostly Muslim minority in mainly Buddhist Myanmar's western Rakhine state, have forced about 150,000 to flee to Bangladesh in the past 18 months, the United Nations said. Malaysia and Bangladesh signed five pacts during Yunus's visit, covering defense cooperation and collaboration in supply and infrastructure of liquefied natural gas (LNG), petroleum products, and related facilities.
