Govt pledges security for Charles
KARACHI, Oct 6: Britain’s Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, will be provided with top-level security when they visit Pakistan later this month, the Pakistani foreign office said on Friday.
“Their visit is as per the schedule announced on Thursday and we will provide them with high security,” Pakistan foreign office spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam told AFP.
She said the British government had not shown any concerns about the royal couple’s visit to Pakistan from Oct 29 to Nov 3, which was announced by Clarence House, Charles’s household, on Thursday.
The couple will meet Musharraf and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz during their visit, she added.
The visit, their first to the country as a couple, comes despite a warning by Britain’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office that there is a “high threat” from terrorism throughout Pakistan.
The Foreign Office specifically advises against all travel to border areas, the northern and western parts of Baluchistan province and the federally administered tribal areas.—AFP
