AMBASSADOR Andreas Ferrarese speaks at the event.
KARACHI: The government of Italy intends to strengthen structures to promote its country in Pakistan, especially in commercial and cultural sectors. One of the plans is to turn Karachi into ‘green economy’.
This was said by the Ambassador of Italy to Pakistan, Andreas Ferrarese at a reception hosted in his honour at a local hotel on Monday evening.
Mr Ferrarese said although he and his wife had been in Pakistan for the last one year, he couldn’t get out of Islamabad because of the Covid-19 situation. It’s his first visit to Karachi and it was his dream for a long time to come to the “beautiful and active city”. Fifteen years ago, he tried to convince the ministry [of foreign affairs] to send him to Karachi as consul general, which proves he had a long-time interest in the city.
