The facility would help and advice neighbouring nations with regard to development of social infrastructure, including schools, hospitals and ICT (information and communications technology), he said.
"Our experts would provide complete solution for creation of infrastructure, promoted under Public Private Partnership mode," he added.
It would be a win-win situation for both sides, he said, adding that proposals from different countries would come up once the facility formally starts.
