LAHORE, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 15th Sep, 2019 ) :US Consul General in Lahore Catherine Rodriguez said on Sunday that she was proud of thousands of alumni, who participated in the US government-funded programmes and English language courses.
Addressing the 9th Annual Pakistan-US Alumni Network (PUAN) Lahore Chapter reunion ceremony at a local hotel here, she said it was a moment of great satisfaction that these individuals were working to build a prosperous and peaceful Pakistan.
