Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif departed here on Thursday for a two-day official visit to the Republic of Belarus from April 10 to 11, 2025, at the invitation of President Aleksandr Lukashenko.
He was accompanied by a high-level delegation comprising Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Muhammad Ishaq Dar, Information and Broadcasting Minister Attaullah Tarar and Special Assistant to PM Tariq Fatemi.
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 to further strengthen cooperation.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s visit underscores a strong and ongoing partnership between Pakistan and Belarus.
Pakistan was one of the earliest nations to acknowledge Belarus following the Soviet Union’s collapse and has upheld diplomatic ties with the country since 1994.
Despite this, trade between the two countries has remained limited, with annual volumes reported to be between $50 and $65 million, as stated by the Belarusian embassy in Islamabad.
