The visit is imminent and expected to involve meetings with top Pakistani officials, including Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar and Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir. MBS was initially scheduled to visit Pakistan in early September but had to postpone the trip due to his attendance at the G-20 summit and a subsequent visit to India.
Jalil Abbas Jilani also addressed the strained relations between Pakistan and India during his remarks at the Youth Ministers Conference of the Commonwealth of Nations. While acknowledging the challenges in the relationship, he expressed hope for an amicable resolution of issues between the two South Asian neighbors.
