Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif arrived in Minsk on Thursday for a two-day official visit to Belarus, from April 10 to 11, at the invitation of President Aleksandr Lukashenko.
Belarus Prime Minister Alexander Turchin and officials from the Pakistan embassy in Belarus extended a warm welcome to the Prime Minister.
PM Shehbaz is accompanied by a high-level delegation, including Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Muhammad Ishaq Dar, Chief Minister of Punjab Maryam Nawaz, Federal Minister for Information Attaullah Tarar, and senior officials.
During his visit, the Prime Minister will hold talks with President Lukashenko to review progress in areas of mutual interest.
The two sides are also expected to sign several agreements aimed at further strengthening cooperation between their nations.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s visit highlights the strong and ongoing partnership between Pakistan and Belarus.
This visit follows President Lukashenko’s significant visit to Pakistan in November 2024, during which both countries signed more than a dozen important memoranda of understanding (MoUs) and agreements, with commitments to further expand bilateral cooperation across various sectors.
Both PM Shehbaz and President Lukashenko had emphasized the importance of advancing political dialogue and strengthening inter-parliamentary relations.
They also focused on expanding trade and economic cooperation, adopting a collaborative approach to regional economic integration and connectivity, and enhancing the legal framework to facilitate bilateral collaboration.
