NUST Confers Honorary Doctorate on Prime Minister Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim

Prime Minister Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim, on his official visit to Pakistan from October 2 to 4, 2024, was bestowed with an honorary doctorate in philosophy from Pakistan's prestigious National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST). This academic accolade, coupled with the ceremonial conferment of Pakistan's highest civilian award, the Nishan-e-Pakistan, is a profound personal recognition of Prime Minister Anwar's significant contributions.

Prime Minister Anwar's acceptance of the honorary doctorate and the Nishan-e-Pakistan is not just a ceremonial act; it signifies a deepening of intellectual, economic, and diplomatic cooperation between two Muslim-majority nations. The Malaysian and Pakistani Premiere discussions focussed on fortifying this relationship through trade, diplomacy, and shared cultural and academic exchanges that bridge their rich histories and future aspirations, fostering a sense of connection and shared destiny, and promising mutual benefits for both nations.
