Moscow (Shahid Ghumman): Preparations for Prime Minister of Pakistan Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif\u2019s upcoming visit to Russia have entered the final stages. The Prime Minister will be accompanied by high-level dignitaries and a senior diplomatic delegation. His official visit to Russia will take place from March 2 to 5.<\/p>\n
According to official sources, the visit carries significant importance in the context of further strengthening bilateral relations between Pakistan and Russia, promoting energy and industrial cooperation, and expanding trade ties.<\/p>\n
During the visit, the Prime Minister will lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Moscow and will hold an important meeting at the Kremlin with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The meeting is expected to cover cooperation in the energy sector, supply of oil and gas at concessional rates, potential LNG agreements, revival or modernization of Pakistan Steel Mills, industrial partnerships, defense cooperation, and the overall regional situation. Sources indicate that concrete progress may be made to translate economic cooperation into practical outcomes.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister will also participate in the Pakistan-Russia Business Forum, where leading business figures and investors from both countries are expected to attend. Discussions will focus on enhancing cooperation in agriculture, energy, logistics, minerals, and heavy industry. The possibility of trade in local currencies and alternative financial mechanisms may also be explored to ease barriers affecting bilateral trade.<\/p>\n
Pakistan\u2019s Ambassador to Russia, Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, has stated that relations between the two countries have entered a new phase in which economic partnership has assumed central importance. According to him, recent progress in energy and trade sectors reflects growing mutual confidence, and tangible outcomes are expected from this visit.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister will also address Pakistani students residing in Moscow. His program includes a visit to the designated land of the Pakistan Embassy and the Moscow Cathedral Mosque, aimed at strengthening people-to-people and cultural ties. He will later travel to Saint Petersburg, where he is scheduled to meet members of the local business community and visit major historical and cultural landmarks, including the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood and the Hermitage Museum.<\/p>\n
Political observers believe that in the current global environment, the visit holds special significance in light of Pakistan\u2019s balanced foreign policy. If concrete progress is achieved in the areas of energy, steel mills, and industrial cooperation, the visit could mark the beginning of a new chapter in Pakistan-Russia relations. Upon completion of the visit, the Prime Minister will return to Pakistan along with his delegation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
