British foreign secretary visits karachi


The British Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs William Hague on his first official visit  to Pakistan as the foreign secretary ,arrived in Karachi on Thursday 24th of june 2010.
He had a very busy day here called on the governor of sindh and many business leaders .visited the karachi stocks exchange.He also visited the Mausoleum of Quaid -i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and laid a wreath.He left for Islamabad where he is going to have very serious and important dialogue with the leadership of Pakistan ..earlier on wednesday before coming to karachi from Islamabad he met with the President,PrimeMinister and FM of Pakistan for "talks".
The British FM's visit to Pakistan is usually a very routine excercise because of the good and immaculate relations between the two nations.His predecessor Mr David miliband  visited Pakistan very regularly...and I am sure Mr Hague will do the same.
Now the one thing Mr William Hague did most unique today was that on his way to Islamabad from Karachi or maybe after reaching Islamabad....he choose to reply to the questions about his visit to Pakistan  on Twitter.Yesterday the British foreign and commonwealth office official twitter started a hash tag #Fsinpak requesting twitters to put question to Mr Hague 
British Foreign Sec @WilliamJHague is in Pakistan. Send your questions on the region with tag #fsinpak. Answers here tmrw http://ht.ly/223vz

Well to my greatest surprise he did answer the questions on that hash tag in a very Q&A manner and also did what no British FM has ever done before....Chakadam ka chakadam...!
Thankyou Mr Hague...you are the Best !
