Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif arrived in London on Friday night from Belarus for a brief two-day visit. The PML-N leader and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is also scheduled to arrive in London on Saturday for a two-week tour.
The Prime Minister landed at Luton Airport late in the evening and plans to spend the weekend in the city. He will then return to Pakistan on Sunday night to attend the Overseas Pakistanis Convention in Islamabad. He was welcomed at the airport by PML-N UK leaders Ahsan Dar, Rashid Hashmi, and Khurram Butt.
PML-N sources indicated that the Prime Minister will undergo medical checkups on Saturday and has two meetings scheduled for Sunday. He has been receiving health evaluations in London for several years.
The Prime Minister will meet his elder brother, Nawaz Sharif, at the Avenfield flats before departing for Pakistan.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated on Friday that Belarus had made a “generous offer” to invite over 150,000 young, highly skilled Pakistani workers to contribute to nation-building efforts in the Eastern European country.
The Prime Minister – along with Nawaz Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz – was on an official visit to Belarus at the invitation of President Lukashenko.
This visit followed President Lukashenko’s visit to Pakistan in November 2024, during which both nations signed more than a dozen important memoranda of understanding (MoUs) and agreements, pledging to further expand bilateral cooperation in various sectors.
