The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton, have said they are "looking forward to building a lasting friendship with the people of Pakistan" during their first-ever visit to the country due to begin on October 14.
"The UK's links with Pakistan are extensive, and their Royal Highnesses are looking forward to building a lasting friendship with the people of Pakistan," read a statement by the royal couple's spokesperson on Friday.
The handout, released by Kensington Palace, currently the official residence of the Duke and Duchess, said that the tour will encompass "the modern leafy capital Islamabad, the vibrant city of Lahore, the mountainous countryside in the North, and the rugged border regions to the West". "The visit will span over 1000km, and will take in Pakistan's rich culture, its diverse communities, and its beautiful landscapes," it added.
