ISLAMABAD: Britain’s Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton, will make their first visit to Pakistan today and are expected to land in Islamabad at 9 pm. This will be the first royal tour to the country since 2006 when Prince Charles and Camilla, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, travelled to Pakistan. Taking to Twitter, British High Commissioner in Pakistan Thomas Drew said that the primary focus of the visit was to showcase Pakistan as a “dynamic, aspirational and forward-looking nation”. We’re in the final countdown to the arrival in Pakistan of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Earlier, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi had said the visit would further improve ties between Pakistan and Britain.
