Ambassador Farukh Amil appreciated the excellent work being done by Pakistan academics in Japan and urged them to rededicate themselves for the scientific and technical uplift of Pakistan. He underscored that it was extremely important to establish and strengthen close linkages between the universities, faculties and students of Japan and Pakistan. Appreciating their positive role the Ambassador emphasized that they could contribute immensely in image building and creating a bridge between people of the two countries.
The Ambassador especially underscored the grave human rights violations in IOK. He stressed that for students, researchers and citizens of Pakistan to go about their daily lives they must not forget sacrifices of the armed forces of Pakistan.  Underlining the importance of  an active and  equal participation of women in  all fields of life he stated that their role and contribution  was significant to realize the dream of  an educated,  modern,  democratic and knowledge driven Pakistan as envisioned by Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
