'Lincoln Corner' opened at AJK University
Muzaffarabad, April 27(Daily Times): Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister Sardar Attique
Ahmed Khan and the US Embassy's Acting Deputy Chief of Mission James H Williams
inaugurated on Thursday the US-funded 'Lincoln Corner' at the University of Azad
Jammu and Kashmir.
The Lincoln Corner is a resource centre that offers
information on the United States, its culture, economy, politics, society,
history, education and people.
AJK PM said that the US government had
shown interest in promoting higher education in Pakistan and the opening of the
Lincoln Corner in Muzaffarabad was another step in the same direction, adding
that it would be a gift of knowledge from the Americans to the Kashmiris. The
event was postponed for over 18 months due to the earthquake of October 2005,
Williams said.
