Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui is keen to promote Pak-UK cultural ties. Earlier this week, he met the British High Commissioner Christian Turner, to discuss a collaboration between UK and Pakistan.
The actor shared the pictures from the meeting on his social media accounts. Siddiqui said that both the countries are looking forward to expanding ties, not just in sports but, in the education and entertainment industry as well.
“In these times of global inclusivity, the world is an oyster in every sense of the word. I firmly believe that cross-cultural exchange across all fields will shape the new order of diplomacy,” wrote actor on social media.
