ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has been awarded the status of an Associate Member of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) on Friday, TheNewsTribe.com learnt.
The dedication of Pakistani scientists, technicians and engineers as well as its diplomats has made Pakistan the first non-European country to achieve this status, above India or even China.
The agreement of Associate Membership between Pakistan and CERN was signed on December 19, 2014 in Islamabad in the presence of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, by Chairman Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission and the Director General of CERN.
The agreement took effect upon submission of the instrument of ratification today (July 31, 2015) by Ambassador Zamir Akram, Permanent Representative of Pakistan in Geneva, to DG CERN.
Associate Membership of CERN is recognition of Pakistan’s impressive credentials in the field of science and technology in general and the peaceful uses of nuclear energy in particular.
Pakistan has already made significant contributions to CERN’s flagship experimental project, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). As an Associate Member of CERN, Pakistan looks forward to benefitting from, and contributing more intensively to, the increasingly innovative and challenging scientific initiatives undertaken at CERN.
