Washington: Pakistan’s Ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani attended a
Diwali reception hosted by his Indian counterpart Nirupama Rao at her
residence here, reflecting the improved ties between the neighbouring
nations.
Haqqani spent nearly two hours at Rao’s residence here
yesterday, interacting with other invited guests, including eminent
Indian-Americans and officials of the Obama administration, reported
PTI.
BJP leader Shatrughan Sinha, who is in town after attending
the United Nations General Assembly session in New York, also dropped
in at the Diwali reception.
Rao, celebrating her first Diwali as
Indian Ambassador here, had invited all the envoys from the region and
almost all of them, including those from Nepal and Sri Lanka, attended
the reception.
In fact, Haqqani was earlier scheduled to go to
Dallas and postponed his trip to attend his first Diwali reception at
the residence of the Indian Ambassador after he received the invitation
from Rao.Online
