Message from the Ambassador of Japan in Pakistan
and Patron-in-Chief MAAP

MAAP has become an active network that is steadily growing every year. This webpage is a great source of information for all Pakistani friends who wish to study or live in Japan. I also hope that this initiative will provide the basis for this association to enhance further its contribution towards the promotion of understanding on the Japanese culture and education in Pakistan especially we are celebrating the 70^th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Pakistan and Japan in 2022. The Embassy of Japan will continue to provide its full support and cooperation to MAAP for such endeavors in the future as well.

My best wishes for MAAP in building of a successful website.

Message from President MAAP

I feel proud to see the progress made in the fields of Science and Technology in Pakistan. The research papers published have increased in many folds during the last two decades.

The interaction of our Alumni with the highly developed research and educational structures in Japan can help to establish linkages to strengthening the existing bilateral relations and future cooperation. MAAP is promoting cooperation between their own scientists and scientists in other countries. This newly launched website is a great source of information for Pakistani students and scholars who are planning to study in Japan.

Our Science benefitting diplomacy through the forum of SAFJUAA which will pave the way for maintaining linkages between countries that have severely strained or even officially severed diplomatic ties.
