He highlighted the role played by Pakistani scholars in developing the Grey System Theory. He also read the hand-written letter written by Dr. Saad Ahmed Javed, the President of the GSSP, in which he encouraged the new generation of Pakistanis to learn new techniques and methods of data analysis, forecasting, and problem-solving. After the lecture by Dr. Nawaz, several students from the National College of Business Administration & Economics presented their works. Dr. Nawaz appreciated some of the works and encouraged them to be submitted to international journals.

More than twenty postgraduate students from Lahore participated in the event and asked interesting questions. In the end, Dr. Nawaz thanked the participants and encouraged them to read the works of Professors Deng Julong, Sifeng Liu, and S. A. Javed and further develop them with new ideas.
