London: The UK’s Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton’s upcoming visit to Pakistan will be their “most complex” tour to date, the Kensington Palace has said.
The royal couple will visit Pakistan from October 14 to 18 at the request of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), The News International reported.
Prince William and Kate Middleton said on Tuesday that they were excited to visit the “beautiful” country to meet its people and to experience its culture.
Details of their engagements will be released on the day due to “security considerations”, according to the couple’s communications secretary.
But the visit will span over 1,000 km – including capital Islamabad, Lahore, the mountainous countryside in the north and border regions to the west.
A statement by the Kensington Palace on Friday said that William and Kate were “keen to learn more” about climate change, access to quality education and military efforts in Pakistan.
