Prince Willia­m and his wife's possib­le visit to Pakist­an this autumn is good news, says FMForeign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Thursday expressed concern on the display of anti-Pakistan banners during a recent cricket World Cup match and took up the matter with British High Commissioner Thomas Drew. Qureshi also discussed the disrespectful attitude the national team was subjected to during the Pakistan-Afghanistan match. Islamabad had earlier condemned the unruly conduct of certain groups of spectators during the Pakistan-Afghanistan World Cup cricket match. A Foreign Office statement had taken exception to the flying of anti-Pakistan banners and the ‘unruly conduct of spectators toward Pakistan team players’ saying that the scuffles during the Pakistan-Afghanistan World Cup cricket match were a matter of deep concern. The trip will mark Kate and William’s first visit to Pakistan, though the royals visited India in 2016.
