@salman: Nawaz is there on personal private business. Because it has nothing to do with energy. No He is there to see his bankers. check his accounts, investments and his properties. He simply cannot make a private visit to England. He has to disguise it under a phony conference. Energy Dialogue.
@salman:
Look at Amazon China. Solar powered dolls of Abid Sher Ali are for sale for 99p. They will light up entire Pakistan. That is the plan!
