The culture of different regions blending together helps bring harmony in the world and Pakistan definitely has a very fascinating culture, said German Consul General Dr Tilo Klinner at a reception hosted by him and his wife at their residence for artists, educationists, intellectuals and the media.
The event was to bid farewell to the leaving Consul and Deputy Head of Mission Rolf Traut and to welcome the new incumbent Hans-Juergen Paschke and introduce the newly-appointed director of Goethe-Institute, Dr Manuel G Negwer
Negwer has done his thesis in literature and has vast knowledge on the literature and music of regions as different as Latin America, the Iberian peninsula and Japan. He has more than 25 years of experience and served at the Goethe-Institute in Munich, Bolivia, Brazil and Japan, before being posted to Pakistan. Negwer can speak fluent Spanish and Portuguese besides English, Italian and Japanese.
Speaking informally to the media, the Goethe Institute director said he would strive to bring the culture of other parts to Pakistan and show the good, positive side of the land of the Indus to the world.
He added that he was learning and discovering amazing new things about Pakistan almost daily and looked forward to his stay here.
