Political upheaval in the country had already forced the cancellation of the Sri Lankan president's visit to Pakistan earlier in August.
“The visit is very much on,” the Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tasnim Aslam said.
Aslam said Jinping would visit Pakistan some time in September, but refrained to give any further details or a definitive date.
Sources in the Foreign Office said that an advance team comprising protocol and security officials of the Chinese president reached Islamabad on Wednesday to finalise the details of his tour.
His visit is being seen as crucial for Pakistan with a number of key economic and defence deals expected to be signed.
Fate of the visit, however, hangs in balance due to the ongoing protests by the Pakistan Awami Tehreek and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf in the federal capital since August 14.

Sir, do come soon and teach our Generals why economy is more important than anything else for a country.
President Xi Jinping, Sir! You have your interests at heart and we Pakistanis have ours. Please do not come to bolster the position of PM Nawaz Sharif and his party and PPP, but come for the sake of PAKISTANI CITIZENS ONLY. The army and the citizens can look after you better and really make you feel hospitable. Thank you, Sir.
