King Charles, Queen Camilla want to visit Pakistan: reports

King Charles III and Queen Camilla are planning to visit Pakistan, according to prominent industrialist Mian Mohammad Mansha.

The revelation came after Mansha and Naz Saigol met with King Charles at a reception held at St. James's Palace before the Commonwealth Heads of State meeting.

In an interview with Geo News, Mansha shared that the royal family is well aware of the challenges Pakistan faces.

“I had a very good meeting with The King. I have met him before as well. I met The King in my capacity as the head of the British Asian Trust Pakistan chapter. The King always talks about Pakistan in a very positive and welcoming way.”

“The King told me that he wants to visit Pakistan and he will. He told me that he spoke to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif recently. It was a very cordial meeting. Whenever I meet him he speaks highly of Pakistan.”

The leading businessman mentioned that King’s charity the British Asian Trust launched Pakistan Employment Impact Bond.

“We discussed the issues of education and women empowerment. We also discussed that the British Asian Trust has a better chance of success with the Punjab Government,” Mansha added.

Earlier in September, King Charles invited Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to the Commonwealth Head of Government Meeting (CHOGM), set to be held in Samoa, in October.

The monarch extended a formal invitation to the Pakistani premier on a phone call.

During the conversation, PM Sharif hoped that the King and Her Majesty The Queen would visit Pakistan soon.
