Ambassador: Shehbaz Sharif’s visit to Belarus to open new page in Belarusian-Pakistani co-operation
The official visit of Prime Minister of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif to Belarus will open a new page in Belarusian-Pakistani co-operation – as noted by Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to the Republic of Belarus Muhemmed Aejaz, BelTA reports
The diplomat noted that the visit is aimed at strengthening co-operation between the two countries, including in the fields of trade, investment, agriculture and industry. “The foundations of this visit were laid during the Belarusian-Pakistani events held the day before. First of all, this is the 8th meeting of the Pakistan-Belarus Intergovernmental Commission on Trade and Economic Co-operation, which was held in Minsk in February,” the Ambassador pointed out.
He said that since the establishment of diplomatic relations, Belarusian-Pakistani ties have been developing at an unprecedented pace. High-level visits between our two countries are becoming more and more frequent, the latest of which was the visit of President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko to Pakistan in November 2024. The talks resulted in the signing of the roadmap for comprehensive co-operation between Belarus and Pakistan for 2025-2027 and a number of other international documents.
As previously reported, on April 11th, President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko is scheduled to hold talks with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. The meeting of the two leaders will be held at the Palace of Independence in narrow and expanded formats. Aleksandr Lukashenko and Shehbaz Sharif will discuss the implementation of the agreements reached during the official visit of the President of Belarus to Pakistan in November 2024, with a focus on further development of trade-economic liaisons, including in the fields of industry and food security, and strengthening of humanitarian ties.
The sides will pay special attention to key issues on the global and regional agenda and the interaction between the two countries on international platforms. A number of bilateral documents are expected to be signed following the talks.
