German Ambassador to Pakistan Martin Kobler has been winning over Pakistanis one tweet at a time.

A quick scroll through his Twitter handle and you will find Kobler promoting a positive image of Pakistan and also doing for the environment more than what most of us are.

A true ambassador of Pakistan, Kobler has been tweeting tips urging people to #SaveWaterForPak and has Twitterati in awe of his tweets.

Kobler’s Twitter account came to the notice of most Pakistanis after he shared a picture of himself using a bucket to wash his car in order to save water.

"Using a bucket to save water while washing my car!! #Pakistan ranks third amongst countries facing water shortage. One major reason is excessive use! 100 liters wasted washing a car with running tap water... many ways to #SaveWater in our daily life! #SaveWaterforPak," he tweeted.

But that was not his only post on saving water or protecting the environment.

The German ambassador to Pakistan also shared a picture of himself brushing his teeth with the caption, "So many ways to #SaveWater! Lots of people leave the water running while brushing their teeth. Using a cup with water instead can save a few liters every day! #SaveWaterforPak"

Kobler also tweeted about the untreated sewage disposed in Karachi's sea on a daily basis and its effect on Pakistan's marine life.

Not just public awareness messages, Kobler has also been sharing beautiful pictures of his visit up north.

Unlike most Pakistanis who are severly critical of the national carrier, Kobler during his recent visit to Baltistan shared that he was "very happy to fly with the only PIA plane with the new design".



Martin Kobler@KoblerinPAK
fascinating flight to #baltistan with my wife! Look at the K2! very happy to fly with the only @Official_PIA plane with the new design. Don’t you think that the markhor fits perfectly to #GB??

He also wore a shalwar kameez to pick up his wife from the airport and asked, "Do I blend in with the locals?"

The German ambassador has also been following recommendations of his Pakistani fans.

Kobler shared that he will be adding a few truck art features to his foxy as suggested by Twitterati.

4:42 PM - Jun 6, 2018 · Rawalpindi, Pakistan


As Kobler continues to win over Pakistanis, he also tweeted thanking his followers and inviting his 40,000th follower for tea.

"You guys make me feel so welcome in Pakistan! @jawadjlc you’re my follower #40,000! Thanks and please let me know next time you come to Islamabad. I’d like to invite you to tea!

At least someone is taking the diplomatic role seriously!

He even tried to blend in instead of making a scene with protocols!

Welcome to German representative in Pakistan

 

[Basel]

He is working hard in his job, he is doing much better work then other ambassadors in Pakistan to bring people of two countries closer.

 

[Menace2Society]

If only Pakistani politicans were like this. Just vultures and gangsters.

[waz]

Seems like a lovely chap.

He is representing Germany...That is what ambassadors are supposed to do...Check in with any ambassador of Pakistan to any country....Need to learn a lot more than making business deals and wanting protocols!

If only Pakistani politicans were like this. Just vultures and gangsters.

Exactly my thoughts!

 

[YeBeWarned]

love his Salwar kameez pic ..

 

[ali_raza]

great person

Rofl stupid promotional thread, he is ambassador to Pakistan its his job. If he was a Minister of German govt. than it would've been something different.
Instead of these shenanigans has he worked on bringing any investment or doing expos.
Did his country give some help on the FATF, don't think so.
There was China ambassador to Pakistan, Sun Weidong. Under his tenure China invested millions to improve infrastructure in Pakistan as well as hosted Chinese businessmen bringing them to Pakistan to invest and create jobs.
He also served as a bridge for Chinese media regarding the relationship between the two countries and people of PAkistan. Check out this vdo @26:43
