This was stated by Pakistan’s Ambassador to Moscow, Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, in an interview. He said that work is underway for the visit dates, and it is hoped that this important visit will be possible by June.
According to the Pakistani ambassador, the Prime Minister views this visit as a historic opportunity and is eager to meet the Russian President. Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif sees Russian President Vladimir Putin as an influential world leader and a wise figure and is excited to meet him.
