Istanbul to host Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar
Ms Khar is expected to arrive in the Turkish capital on Friday for a one-day visit, during which she will hold talks with her Turkish counterpart, Ahmet Davutoğlu, diplomatic sources told Today's Zaman.
Earlier in July, Ms Khar had made a much talked about trip to India, being her maiden trip as foreign minister, wherein she met India's top leadership including opposition leaders and Kashmiri leaders.
The foreign minister appeared to have had an instant impact on one of the world’s most tense bilateral relations, with her photo adorning the front pages of most Indian newspapers amid high interest in her arrival with headlines such as ”Pak Puts On Its Best Face” in The Times of India, the biggest-selling English-language daily, while mass circulation Hindi newspaper Navbharat Times said India was “sweating over model-like minister.”
The visit was a continuation of peace talks initiated by both countries earlier in June.

@Natasha Suleman: "desperate"? --- for what?!
@Cautious:
I thought Turkey was doing quite well. Aaah you're probably one of those Ata turk worshippers.
lets see which brand she'll support this time .. I bet on Camel Colour Birkin, as it goes with the theme of HRK's posh restaurant ' Polo Lounge'
And now a fashion show in Turkey starring supermodel HRK.
I hope Turks aren't as desperate as the Indians are.
Hina Rabbani Khar and Ahmet Davutoğlu have at least three things in common -- neither had foreign policy background before assuming the role of Foreign Minister, neither has a single substantive foreign policy achievement and both enjoy press conferences. .. Khar is new in her job and there is a chance she may accomplish something as she progresses in her career --- unfortunately Davutoğlu has adopted a "photo op" approach to foreign policy running from one press announcement to another - probably why Turkey blunders from one foreign policy disaster to another.
