What a finish in Rawalpindi! I was delighted to present the Player of the Match award after Sri Lanka edged England in a thrilling ODI that went down to the final ball. Next stop: #Lahore, as the Pakistan–England–Sri Lanka tri-series continues! #PAKvENG

From Australian fields to Pakistani tables. At Port Qasim, I saw 23,186 tonnes of Australian desi chickpeas arrive in Pakistan. Trade like this helps strengthen food supply while deepening a partnership that keeps delivering for Pakistan.

A lesson in Pakistani cooking — chicken, tomatoes, spices and plenty of flavour. Then came the important part: trying it myself. Superb! #ChickenKarahi
