The Oxford Pakistan Programme concluded a week-long visit of a high-level delegation from the University of Oxford to Islamabad. This was a historic visit by senior faculty from Oxford University.

During their two days in Islamabad, the delegation held several high-profile meetings with senior officials of the government, ministers and with the President of Pakistan.

The OPP is the first initiative of its kind through which a concerted effort is being made to support a long-term presence for Pakistan-related activities at the University of Oxford.

On their way to Lahore, the Oxford delegation stopped at Bhera where they attended a cultural event held in their honour on the banks of the River Jhelum. This included bull racing, tent pegging and sufi music.

In Lahore, the delegation held a high-profile panel discussion at the Lahore University of Management Sciences.

The delegation was also given a tour of the Walled City in Lahore.

The delegates were hugely impressed with their Pakistan visit and expressed their strong resolve to address Pakistan's underrepresentation in Oxford.
