Talking to a gathering of Karachi business community Swiss Ambassador Eric Martin said that it was his first visit to Pakistan and his perception about the country changed within few hours after landing in Karachi.
He added that the members of the delegation were very impressed by the resilience and economic potential of this country and were fully convinced of the opportunities despite the challenges.

Thanks for prompt action.
The photo published is of the Swiss Embassy in Italy NOT of the Swiss Embassy in Pakistan.
To,
The Editor,
Express Tribune.
Thanks for publishing the positive comments expressed by the Ambassador Eric (belongs to the Switzerland the country which is the 5th largest investor in Pakistan).
However, its looks really illogical and rather absurd to publish the photo of Swiss Embassy in Italy instead of Swiss Embassy in Pakistan!
Hope needful ammendment will be done at the earliest.
Regards,
M. H. Quraishi, Security Manager,
Consulate General of Switzerland in Karachi
