Alexandra Berg von Linde, ambassador of Sweden to Paksitan, recently met with Swedish politician Umair Bhatti, a Swede with Pakistani roots in Islamabad.
Their discussion explored the strong ties between Sweden and Pakistan, growing opportunities for business and collaboration, and the important role that cultural connections play in bringing people closer together.
One fascinating topic was horse polo, a sport deeply rooted in Pakistan’s heritage and one with exciting potential to gain a wider following in horse-loving Sweden.
The ambassador expressed her thanks to Umair for an inspiring exchange on how business, culture, and sport can continue to strengthen the friendship between Sweden and Pakistan.
