Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is scheduled to leave for Minsk today (Monday) for an official visit at the invitation of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. It will be the first ever visit of a Pakistani prime minister to Belarus.
The prime minister will meet Belarusian president and prime minister. He will also sign important agreements and MoUs between the two countries. The prime minister will also participate in Pakistan-Belarus Business and Investment Forum.
The prime minister will be conferred the title of Honorary Professor of the Belarus State University. He is also expected to visit top Belarusian Industrial units.
Pakistani mango and film festivals will also be held during the prime minister’s visit. The prime minister’s visit is taking place soon after the Belarusian president had visited Pakistan in May this year, which is an indication of the common desire of the two countries to strengthen the existing close and friendly ties between Pakistan and Belarus.
