The Government of Japan will help Radio Pakistan rehabilitate its medium wave transmitting network and studio facilities; this was stated by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Director Yasumichi Araki while speaking with Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation (PBC) Director General Murtaza Solangi at National Broadcasting House on Thursday. Yasumichi said in this connection, JICA will help to replace aging transmitters at Faqirabad in the Attock district with a latest 500 kilowatt medium wave transmitter.
Solangi said Japan was a very good friend of Pakistan and its cooperation in various fields was highly appreciated by the people of the country. He thanked JICA for providing assistance to Radio Pakistan. He said Radio Pakistan had introduced a structural change in its setup and was utilising the most modern techniques to provide information and entertainment to the people. “Radio Pakistan broadcasts are now available to over 100 million people on their cellular phones as well,” he stated.
