Imran, who is attending the forum at the invitation of its founder and executive chairman Prof Klaus Schwab, will deliver “keynote address” at the WEF special session, and participate in the “Pakistan Strategy Dialogue” with the corporate leaders.
On the sidelines, Imran will hold bilateral meetings with several world leaders. They include president Trump. It will be the third leadership-level interaction between Pakistan and the US leaders since Imran’s visit to Washington in July last year.
Besides, the prime minister is also scheduled to hold several meetings with a wide range of corporate, business, technology and finance executives, and representatives of international financial institutions.
The prime minister will also speak to senior international media persons and editors during a session with the Forum’s International Media Council. He will also give interviews with major international media outlets.
