His Excellency Najib-Ullah, Afghanistan's Ambassador to the United States, paid a one day visit to the University yesterday.
Najib-Ullah, who was minister of education in Afghanistan from 1946-49, said that the purpose of his visit was both to gain new ideas about education and to see a University that he had known about from his youth.
His activities here included talking with University officials, visiting a seminar and speaking on Afghanistan foreign policy.
