This initiative aims to provide talented individuals from Sudan with the opportunity to pursue higher education at UMT, enabling them to unlock their full potential and contribute to their communities.
The scholarship program was formalized during a signing ceremony attended by UMT Director of Internationalization, Muttaqi Malik, and His Excellency Salih Mohamed Ahmed, the Ambassador of Sudan to Pakistan. The event highlighted the shared commitment of both nations to advancing educational excellence and creating opportunities for young minds.
Ambassador Salih Mohamed Ahmed expressed his heartfelt appreciation for President Murad’s generous initiative, emphasizing its potential to transform the lives of Sudanese students. During the meeting, the two leaders engaged in meaningful discussions about the higher education landscapes in Sudan and Pakistan, exploring avenues for further collaboration.
Both parties agreed to work closely to ensure the success of this scholarship program and to strengthen bilateral ties in the field of education. Mr. Muttaqi Malik extended a formal invitation to the Sudanese Ambassador to visit UMT, which was warmly accepted. The Ambassador also expressed his eagerness to meet President Ibrahim Hasan Murad, who holds the distinction of being the youngest university president in Pakistan.
This scholarship initiative not only underscores UMT’s commitment to global education but also reflects the growing partnership between Pakistan and Sudan in fostering academic and cultural exchange. By investing in the youth of Sudan, UMT is paving the way for a brighter future and stronger international relations.
