PM Nawaz to leave for Germany tomorrow

Nawaz will visit the country for two days on the invitation of German Chancellor Angela Merkel

ISLAMABAD: After returning from China on Sunday, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will head to Germany on November 10, according to a Foreign Office statement.

The premier will leave for Germany on a two-day visit on the invitation of German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

“During the visit, the prime minister would hold official talks with Chancellor Merkel that will be followed by an official lunch in his honour. Thereafter, he will meet with President of the German Bundestag (Parliament) and also address a Business Forum organised by the Pakistan Board of Investment, which is expected to be attended by a large number of German business executives and investors,” the statement added.

Germany is Pakistan’s fourth largest trading partner globally and the largest in the European Union. The premier’s visit will help in strengthening the existing ties between the two countries.

PM Nawaz’s two-day visit to Beijing proved fruitful as the two countries signed 19 agreements and memorandums of understanding mainly on projects relating to China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and electricity generation.
