Pakistan already has this kind of arrangement in place. Pakistani officers attend foreign military colleges and foreign military officers visit Pakistan. I lived in Quetta which has once such Institution called the Command and Staff College.
I had a feel this was the case but what in essence I am suggesting is it mast be bigger. I would also suggest places such as Australia need to increase their approaches in this type of arrangement.
The critical issue for both nations is the regional approach. We are all in a somewhat unstable region, just looking at places as Timor, Solomon Islands parts of the Philippines, PNG and Indonesian border, without even starting with Pakistans internal issues and border with Afghanistan. Things are bigger than one nation. The region is our home and it needs looking after.
I have to agree with you here. Our students are generally shy and suffer with severe kind of inferiority complex (not all though).
A lot of students local and international suffer this basic human problem. It is also hard as a lecture to deal with such students as they seldom dont let on that they may be having problems. One has to read the behaviour to get to the root of some issues.
I dont interfere in their way of life, they dont interfere in my way of life. Unfortunately, this degree of tolerance is not found in the US foreign policy.
I respect your credentials. On a side: My Grand Dad did his graduation from Cambridge, UK in 1920s, my Dad did his post graduation from Australia, I did my PhD and Post-Doc from the US, yet, after three generation long interaction with the foreigners, we have still preserved our culture, religion and independent thought process.
There is nothing in what I suggest that you would have to change your culture religion and independent thought. It is a case of gaining information and understanding of the other person. Understanding their religion, culture and thought processes.
Both gain that way. It is pat of gaining experiences of life.
I went to China for work, but that did not mean I dropped all my culture beliefs for theirs. It meant I saw things there that helped me understand where they came from during discussions and cultural interactions.
