A 68-member ministerial delegation from Belarus arrived in Islamabad on Sunday evening in preparation for an official state visit by Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko, according to the Foreign Office (FO).
The visit follows a recent agreement between Pakistan and Belarus in September to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) outlining a trade roadmap for 2025-2027, strengthening bilateral economic ties.
Led by Foreign Minister Maxim Ryzhenkov, the delegation landed “on the eve” of President Lukashenko’s arrival, the FO announced on X (formerly Twitter).
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, Additional Foreign Secretary for Europe Ambassador Shafqat Ali Khan, and Pakistan’s Ambassador to Belarus Sajjad Haider Khan warmly received the delegation at the airport, underscoring the significance of the upcoming discussions and engagements.
