Islamabad:
Former three-time Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will leave on Monday for a five-day personal visit to China, where he will undergo a medical check-up.
This will be the 74-year-old Mr Sharif’s first international visit since he returned to Pakistan after four years of self-imposed exile in the UK in October last year.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo will accompany Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on his “personal visit”, Geo News reported on Monday.
With reference to party sources, the report said that Sharif’s visit is personal and he will undergo a medical check-up during the trip.
Sources said that the former prime minister will also hold meetings related to the development works of Punjab province and will also meet the owners of Chinese companies.
The PML-N leader was allowed by a high court in November 2019 to travel abroad on health grounds as his medical reports revealed that he needed urgent treatment.
He returned to Pakistan from London in October last year after spending four years in self-imposed exile.
