Ukrainian FM to visit Pakistan tomorrow
Islamabad, The Gulf Observer: Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba will undertake an official visit to Pakistan on July 20-21, a spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Pakistan said on Wednesday.
During his visit, FM Kuleba will call on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and also hold talks with Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
Pakistan and Ukraine enjoy close and cordial relations, particularly in the fields of trade, investment, agriculture and higher education.
Kuleba’s visit is the first-ever ministerial visit from Ukraine since the establishment of diplomatic ties between Pakistan and Ukraine in 1993. The visit is expected to contribute to further strengthening of bilateral ties between the two countries.
Though Pakistan and Ukraine have bilateral relations including defence ties, the war in Ukraine will top the agenda during the visit of Kuleba.
Islamabad has refused to condemn Moscow’s action but at the same time dispatched humanitarian aid to Ukraine and called for a political solution to the conflict. Pakistan has thrice abstained from voting on a resolution at the UN General Assembly denouncing the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
