A perfect demonstration of peace and friendliness was made when Germans were welcomed by the local Pashtuns in Peshawar’s Namak Mandi area.
While alluring the taste of local Mutton Karahis and mingling with local tribal leaders, German Ambassador Martin Kobler’s thoroughly cherished his visit to Peshawar’s Namak Mandi.
Enthusiastic German envoy not only had some delicious Karahi’s but also had a haircut from a roadside barber in the bazaar. While tweeting his candid pictures, he posted and shared his live experience of roaming fearlessly in the city; the city that is being defamed as the most perilous city of Pakistan being at the hit-list of the terrorists.

During his day out in Peshawar, he was also hosted by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Chief Minister Pervez Khattak.
