Pakistan High Commissioner to the United Kingdom Dr Mohammad Faisal on Friday arrived at Buckingham Palace in a royal horse carriage to present his credentials to King Charles III at a ceremony.

The Pakistani High Commissioner and his wife were taken from the Pakistan Embassy to Buckingham Palace through a special protocol in a royal horse carriage where King Charles III welcomed them to Buckingham Palace.

Dr Faisal conveyed greetings and best wishes of President Dr Arif Alvi and Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar to King Charles.

King Charles accepted the credentials of Dr Muhammad Faisal as the High Commissioner of Pakistan to Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

He expressed his best wishes to the leadership and people of Pakistan during the ceremony.

The royal horse carriage is part of the Royal Mews (a collection of equestrian stables of the British royal family) that provides road transport for the King or Queen and members of the Royal Family by both horse-drawn carriage and motor car.

It is responsible for looking after the state carriages, coaches and cars used by the King or Queen and members of the Royal Family during state occasions, including coronations, the State Opening of Parliament and visits by heads of state.

The Royal Mews takes around 50 newly appointed high commissioners and ambassadors to present their credentials to The King or Queen at Buckingham Palace.
