UK Cabinet Minister Baroness Warsi met with the Archbishop of Karachi at St Patrick’s Cathedral on Friday and also visited the Jesus and Mary Convent in Clifton. She appreciated the Pakistani Christian community’s efforts.
Warsi also met with Abdul Sattar Edhi, the head of the Edhi Foundation, and acknowledged the charitable work of the largest welfare organisation of the country.
The visits came at the end of a series of meetings and events Warsi attended along with UK Trade and Investment Minister Lord Green over the last two days in Islamabad and Karachi to take forward the trade and business strand of the UK-Pakistan Enhanced Strategic Dialogue.
”It was an honour to meet the archbishop of Karachi and Sister Berchmans, Benazir Bhutto’s former teacher at the Jesus and Mary Convent. I was heartened and inspired to learn about her 58 years of service to women in Pakistan. Her work is an outstanding example of powerful role faith can play in the world,” said Warsi.
”I am pleased to have taken forward with Lord Green the Enhanced Strategic Dialogue between the UK and Pakistan. Whether it is on trade and the economy, or through culture and education, we are serious about building a long-term unbreakable partnership with Pakistan for generations ahead.”
