Although Pakistani politicians are busy in point scoring against each other and the economy of the country is nearly reached to collapse but meanwhile, a virtuous development is that the president of Belarus will reached Pakistan today, for a thorough visit, to take up deferent socioeconomic issues with Pakistani high ups to boost the economic relations between two countries.
It should be remember that after the USSR, defeat in Afghanistan it’s the big desire of every economist and common man, that Pakistan could makes its relations improved with Russian belt country like Belarus that could be helpful for the bright future of our economy.
Actually that dream is still alive and every Pakistani want relations with this region to overcome on food and energy crises of the country.
According to the media reports the Belarus, President Aleksandra Grigorievich Lukashenko will pay a three-day official visit to Pakistan from November 25 to 27 as both countries are likely to sign several agreements following top level engagement, the Foreign Office said on Thursday.
“At the invitation of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Belarus President will undertake an official visit to Pakistan,” stated a statement issued by the Foreign Office.
The statement noted that President Lukashenko will hold extensive talks with PM Shehbaz and discuss areas of bilateral cooperation and engagement.
Several agreements and memorandum of understandings (MoUs) will also be signed during the visit, it added.
The prime minister of Belarus, Roman Golovchenko, was in Islamabad earlier this year for the SCO Council of Heads of Government (CHG) Meeting, where he met his counterpart among other key leaders.
The visit came amid Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) has planned to hold “do-or-die” protest in Islamabad on November 24 against the alleged rigging in the February 8 elections, arrests of party workers, and the passage of the judiciary-centric 26th Constitutional Amendment.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi told the Islamabad High Court earlier that the President of Belarus, accompanied by a 65-member delegation, is scheduled to visit Pakistan and the government aims to secure the Red Zone in this regard.
He made these remarks as IHC Chief Justice Amir Farooq heard the petition of Asad Aziz, President of the Traders Association, against the PTI’s much-hyped protest.
He said that there was the same situation at the time of the recent SCO conference, adding that protests are announced when foreign leaders visiting to Pakistan. He emphasized the critical need for maintaining security on the occasion.
The former ruling party, for months, has been engaged in a political tug-of-war with the ruling coalition — which it alleges came into power via rigged February 8 polls — and has held multiple protests in the federal capital.
So it is not happened for the first time that the political environment is tense at the occasion of any foreigner visit. Three week ago at the occasion of Shanghai summit in Islamabad the PTI, was also on roads, so it’s now the routine of our politics that is why we have to pay attention to our economic growth for that we needs clear and cline foreign policy to start open trade with the countries like Belarus and other Russian belt nations. If look at the history of our relations with that belt, it very unfortunate that we have only signed MoU, s with those countries and never moved forward to mature them as full fledge projects, as we know that the TAPI gas project was decided in 2010 and signed in 2015, but it’s still not completed. Therefor our government needs to take full advantage form the three days Belarusian president’s visit to Islamabad. It is hoped that our officials would be successful to signed fruitful agreements with the Belarusian government to help our economy in the near future.
