Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has left for Belarus on two-day official visit.

He is visiting Belarus at the invitation of Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko.       

During the visit, the Prime Minister will hold talks with the Belarusian President to review progress in areas of mutual interest.

The two sides are expected to sign several agreements to further strengthen cooperation. The Prime Minister's visit underscores the strong and ongoing partnership between Pakistan and Belarus.

Over the past six months, a series of high-level bilateral engagements including the 8th Session of the Joint Ministerial Commission in February this year have laid the groundwork for a productive visit.

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar, Special Assistant to Prime Minister Tariq Fatemi and senior officials are accompanying the Prime Minister. 

The visit follows Belarusian President's official trip to Pakistan in November last year.
