Pakistan is strengthening its partnership with UNESCO by shifting toward practical, results-driven collaboration in science, climate resilience, marine research, and non-formal education.
Pakistan is moving its partnership with UNESCO beyond symbolic cooperation and toward measurable, impact-driven outcomes in science, technology, education, and sustainable development. Federal Minister for Science and Technology Khalid Hussain Magsi shared this vision during a meeting with UNESCO Director-General Dr. Khaled El-Enany, emphasizing that the relationship is strategic rather than procedural.
The minister highlighted UNESCO’s role in strengthening Pakistan’s institutional capacity, particularly through collaboration with bodies such as the Pakistan Science Foundation and the National Institute of Oceanography. These partnerships, he noted, have supported researchers, informed policymaking, and enabled meaningful knowledge exchange.
Environmental sustainability and climate resilience remain central to Pakistan’s priorities, with a growing focus on marine scientific research under the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. The initiative is expected to support Pakistan’s emerging blue economy and long-term coastal resilience.
Non-formal education also emerged as a key area of collaboration, with both sides agreeing to deepen engagement. Overall, Pakistan aims to align science more closely with social welfare by shifting from broad cooperation to practical, results-oriented partnerships with UNESCO.
