Ambassador of Pakistan to Indonesia H.E. Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the University of Agriculture Faisalabad (UAF) and Indonesia’s Institute Pertanian Bogor (IPB) University to strengthen academic collaboration, joint research, and faculty-student exchanges.
