Pakistan inaugurates pavilion at GETEX Dubai 2025 to showcase educational potential
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's Consul General in Dubai Hussain Muhammad inaugurated the country's first-ever pavilion at the Global Education and Training Exhibition (GETEX) 2025 in Dubai on Wednesday to showcase the country's educational potential, Pakistan's Consulate General in Dubai said. 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.
