A new foreign minister (II)

Letter July 21, 2011
She is smart, well-groomed and can speak English fluently. That is what is required of a foreign minister of Pakistan.

UNIVERSITY OF PESHAWAR: Hina Rabbani Khar is a perfect choice. She is smart, good-looking, well-dressed and can speak English fluently. That is what is required of a foreign minister of Pakistan. There is absolutely no requirement that the foreign minister has to be a member of the ruling party as well, or that she shouldn’t have been a member of the cabinet in a previous government.

Prof. Dr Ijaz Khan

Chairman

Department of International Relations
