ISLAMABAD:
Danish Princess, Alexandra, niece of the Queen of Denmark Margrethe II, arrived in Pakistan as part of her work with UNESCO, World Heritage Centre, to view the protection of Pakistan’s cultural heritage.
Princess Alexandra has been working with UNESCO for many years now as part of their team to promote protection of the world heritage sites, a statement said on Friday.
“My first visit was in 2007, and I have been back three times since then.
I have always been met with the outmost hospitality and warmth and I am profoundly grateful for all the kindness, and wonderful humour, that I have experienced while visiting and travelling within Pakistan,” Alexandra said according to the statement.
”In the past years, I have been able to witness an immense determination and great efforts to make changes and improvements, which is particularly noteworthy in view of the difficult circumstances in which Pakistani people live,” she said.
Danish Ambassador Uffe Wolffhechel expressed great enthusiasm about the visit of the Danish Princess Alexandra. “We are indeed excited to having a member of the Danish royal family visit Pakistan. This doesn’t happen every day.”
