William and Kate meet Pakistan’s PM

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have arrived in Pakistan for what has been described as their most' complex and challenging' tour to date.

The royal couple disembarked from a British Royal Air Force plane at Nur Khan Airforce base in Rawalpindi, near the capital Islamabad, on Monday night.

The couple, emerging after an eight-hour flight, were greeted by Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi and Thomas Drew, the British High Commissioner, and were given bouquets of flowers by two children.

The five-day tour will be William and Kate's first official visit to Pakistan and their "most complex" tour to date, according to Kensington Palace, referring to political tensions and security concerns in the region.
