TEHRAN – The head of the Persian Department at the Lahore College for Women University, Syeda Faleeha Zahra Kazmi, has paid a visit to the Sadi Foundation, a Tehran-based institute that promotes the Persian language abroad.

Kazmi also met the director of the foundation, Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, and discussed ways to expand cultural relations, the foundation announced in a press release on Sunday.

“The foundation is ready to address any need for Persian language courses in Pakistan,” Haddad-Adel said at the meeting.

Kazmi expressed her satisfaction over the close cooperation with the foundation and added that the Persian Department has recently launched a Ph.D. program in Persian language.

They also reviewed the commemoration conference on Allama Iqbal Lahori (1877-1938), which was held in Tehran and Isfahan last week.

The Persian Department was established in 1922 when Lahore College for Women was founded.
