New Delhi, Apr 21 (PTI) Tennis star Sania Mirza and her

goodwill gesture" both for India and Pakistan, a Pakistani

"We are branding Sania and Shoaib together for India and
Pakistan. They are the ambassadors of goodwill gesture for
both India and Pakistan, it is not only Pakistan," Population

Awan said at a FICCI function here.

sport stars are "brand ambassadors of goodwill for population,
and family planning on health issues for both the countries.
That clarification I want to give."

programmes when the couple reaches there.
"When they (Sania-Shoaib) reach Pakistan...they will be
designated brand ambassador at an official function," Awan had
