LAHORE: Building on the success of its first cohort, Pakistan has welcomed a larger and more senior group of Bangladesh civil service officers for a 15-day leadership training programme hosted under the Pakistan-Bangladesh Knowledge Corridor Initiative at the National School of Public Policy (NSPP) in Lahore.

The training programme by the Executive Development Institute (EDI) offers an intensive, practice-oriented exchange on governance, public service delivery and institutional reform. The participants will visit Sialkot, Islamabad, Murree and Karachi.

The concluding ceremony and certificate distribution will be held at NSPP on Nov 23.

The first academic session was led by Punjab Assembly Speaker Malik Ahmad Khan, who spoke on the legislature-executive relationship, legislation, accountability and good governance, drawing on lessons from Punjab, followed by a question-answer session.
