Belarus University appoints Nawaz Sharif as 'honorary professor'

Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has been appointed as an honorary professor by Belarus State University.

According to the Dawn, he is one of the few Pakistanis, including Malala Yousufzai, Imran Khan, and squash legend Jahangir Khan, to have been bestowed with an honorary post outside the country.

Sharif already holds a local honorary PhD, awarded to him by the Government College University (GCU) in January 2014.
