The Certificate Distribution Ceremony among Sudanese engineers will be held at the National University of Technology (NUTECH) on Tuesday, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
The ceremony will be attended by Professor Dr. Muhammad Iqbal Choudhary, Coordinator General OIC-COMSTECH as the chief guest, while Lt. Gen. Moazzam Ejaz, HI(M), Retd, Rector NUTECH, and H.E. Salih Mohamed Ahmed Mohamed Siddig, Ambassador of the Republic of Sudan to Pakistan will also be in attendance.
Senior officials, academicians, and representatives of partner institutions are also expected to attend the event.
Under this initiative, around 20 engineers from Sudan participated in a specialized CAD/CAM/CNC Operations & Machine Building Course hosted at NUTECH.
Sponsored and coordinated by COMSTECH, the programme was aimed at strengthening technical skills, enhancing engineering competencies, and promoting South-South cooperation among OIC member states through industry-relevant, hands-on training and knowledge exchange.
The training provided extensive practical exposure to modern manufacturing technologies, including computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), CNC machine operations, and machine building techniques.
The participants received hands-on experience with advanced industrial equipment such as CNC wood routers, drilling and tapping machines, welding equipment, aluminum cutting machines, tool grinders, and shaper machines, under the guidance of NUTECH’s faculty and technical experts.
In addition to academic and technical training, the Prime Institute of Health Sciences collaborated in the programme by facilitating the stay, welfare, and related support arrangements for the Sudanese engineers in Islamabad, ensuring a comfortable and conducive environment throughout the training period.
As part of the programme’s diplomatic and institutional engagement, Professor Dr. Muhammad Iqbal Choudhary also hosted a reception in honour of the Sudanese engineers during their stay, highlighting the importance of human resource development, capacity building, and technology transfer as core objectives of COMSTECH’s cooperation framework.
This initiative forms part of COMSTECH’s broader efforts to promote international technical cooperation and professional training among OIC countries, providing participants with exposure to modern technologies and collaborative learning environments. The certificate distribution ceremony will formally recognize the achievements of the participating engineers and further strengthen academic, technical, and diplomatic ties between Pakistan and Sudan.
