ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 26th Aug, 2023 ) :The newly appointed British High Commissioner, Jane Marriott CMG OBE, will visit Karachi ahead of the expected arrival of the Royal Navy's HMS Lancaster.
During her visit, she will meet with business, political and community leaders, with a focus on boosting UK-Pakistan trade links. Bilateral trade is currently worth over �4 billion, nearly doubling in 3 years, said a press release issued by the British High Commission on Saturday.

I am looking forward to hearing from UK and Pakistani businesses on how we can support each other's ambitious trade goals, she expressed.
