HamariWeb | Apr 18, 2018
American Ambassador David Hale hosted a group of International Relations
students from the University of Peshawar for a lively discussion on the
U.S.-Pakistan relationship and the role of diplomacy in promoting peace. In his
remarks to the students, Ambassador Hale talked about his own study of
international relations and its influence on his career. “Diplomacy provides
solutions to the most complex of challenges,” he said, “and Pakistan’s next
generation of leaders, which you represent, can help bring peace and stability
to the region.”
The students’ meeting with Ambassador Hale was part of a half-day program.
American officers briefed the students on the Embassy’s work and explained study
and exchange programs available in the United States for Pakistani students.
They also had lunch with American diplomats and viewed some of the Pakistani
artwork on display at the Embassy. “What a wonderful place to work!” said one of
the students.
“This was a unique opportunity for my students to speak with an ambassador and
gain a deeper understanding of Pakistan’s relationship with the United States,”
said Dr. Syed Hussain Shaheed Soherwordi, chairman of the University of
Peshawar’s Department of International Relations. “The chance to share
perspectives with American diplomats shows the strong educational cooperation we
have with the United States.”
