Eight Pakistani undergraduate students including (four from Islamabad and three from Karachi) on the invitation of Japanese government will be visiting Japan from March 5 to 12, 2024 under the Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youths (JENESYS) program.
It should mentioned here that a total of 49 youths have been invited from the SAARC countries to participate in this program which was being held under the theme of Environment.
JENESYS was a youth exchange program between Japan and the Asia Pacific region launched by the Japanese Government which aims at promoting mutual trust and understanding among the peoples of Japan and the Asia-Pacific region. With focus on the theme of environment, the invitees from the SAARC countries during their stay in Japan will be provided opportunities to learn and deepen further their understanding of Japan’s economy, society, history, politics, and diplomatic relations, and also experience Japan’s diverse culture through lectures and visits.
The Embassy of Japan on Tuesday held a pre-departure orientation session for the visiting youth to give them useful information before their departure for Japan.
While interacting with the students on the occasion, Mr. KazumasaTakane, Counsellor/Head of Public Affairs, advised them to make optimum use of this opportunity and learn as much possible about Japan during this short period as this may become a life changing experience for them.
