‘Prince Charles to visit Pakistan’

Published September 14, 2006

LONDON, Sept 13: Britain’s Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, are to visit Pakistan next month, a newspaper reported on Wednesday. A royal spokesman refused to confirm the visit for security reasons, but London’s Evening Standard said that the heir to the throne and Camilla would carry out a week-long visit at the end of October. The newspaper said that Charles had agreed to undertake the trip because he was seen as an “ideal figurehead to visit a Muslim country at the forefront of the fight against extremism.”—AFP
