He hoped that these students would become bridges of friendship between Japan and Pakistan.
Ambassador Matsuda further said that fresh scholar grantees from Pakistan after arriving in Japan may face challenges and difficulties initially because of the language barrier as well as life style in Japan.
However, he added, the friendship and hospitality of the Japanese people will help them to adjust with the Japanese life style. Ambassador also asked the fresh scholarship recipients to join hands with the MEXT Alumni Association of Pakistan (MAAP) upon their return to further promote the strong ties between the people of Japan and Pakistan.The Government of Japan's MEXT Research Scholarships was launched in 1954.Since the first Pakistani student went to Japan on scholarship in 1963, up till now a large number of Pakistani students have successfully returned to Pakistan after obtaining their PhD/Master's degrees in Japan.They are actively working in the academia, public and private sectors and have made significant contributions to the development of Pakistan in various fields as well as in strengthening friendly relationship between Japan and Pakistan.
Japan awards graduate and post graduate fully funded scholarships to Pakistani students every year besides offering many short-term scholarships and training courses round the year. NNI
