Lahore, March 27, 2023 (PPI-OT):Ahour (PR) Egyptian universities want to cooperate with Pakistani universities. The vice chancellor of Cairo University, Dr. Zahid Manir Amrsay, director of Punjab University editorial and translation department, expressed his desire for mutual cooperation agreement with Pakistani universities in a meeting. A large part of Pakistan’s foreign trade goods passes through the Suez Canal. In 1956, contrary to the wishes of world powers, Pakistani Prime Minister Feroze Khan Noon took a bold stand in support of Egypt, upon which former Egyptian President Anwar Al-Sadat said, “My lost brother Pakistan has been returned to me.”

These revelations have come out in the recently published travelogue of Egypt, “Misr Khawab aur Teufsir”. The author of the book, Dr. Zahid Munir Amer, has been teaching at Al-Azhar University for a long time. Before that, his Arabic book “Fe Hab Misr” about the Muslim Brotherhood has been published. He is the author of fifty books. “Egypt Dream and Interpretation” has been published by Panjab University Publishing House and the book is being enthusiastically welcomed in the academic and literary circles of the country.
