Pakistan, Bosnia seek practical science and technology cooperation

According to Mettis Global, Pakistan and Bosnia and Herzegovina have talked through a plan to convert the cooperation already in place between them into hands-on work covering measurement standards, technical know-how and institutional strengthening. Bosnian Ambassador Emin Ohodarevi presented his side's proposed plan during a meeting with Shahid Iqbal Baloch, Federal Secretary of the Ministry of Science and Technology. The talks centred on moving a memorandum signed earlier this year into practice.

The memorandum links Bosnia's Institute of Metrology with Pakistan's National Metrology Institute, and the agreement is described as a basis for tighter institutional and technical ties. Shahid Iqbal Baloch assured the Bosnian envoy that the ministry would back the areas agreed upon, and both sides committed to close coordination so that progress stays timely.

The ministry will now study the Bosnian roadmap and work with Pakistan's metrology body to decide on next steps. The development could create a structure for expanded expertise sharing and tighter institutional work in science and technology.
