TORONTO, Jan 7: Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham said here on Monday that he may visit Pakistan later this year.

I’m thinking to visiting Pakistan before returning home from my proposed official tour to India this year, he said while talking to this correspondent at a musical evening organized here by Aga Khan Trust for Culture.

The programme entitled “Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble” was attended by over 2,500 Canadians, including ministers, prominent politicians and parliamentarians at Toronto’s famous Roy Thompson Hall.

Answering a question about Pakistan’s returning to the Commonwealth, he said: “Canada does not sit on the CMAG (Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group) anymore. So we Cannot do anything about it.”
