Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang, who will land in Pakistan next week for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit, is likely to address the joint session of parliament.
The Chinese premier will arrive in Pakistan on October 14 for the SCO summit set to take place on October 15-16.
According to Speaker National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will not address the parliament on the occasion.
Many agreements will be signed between both the countries during the Chinese premier’s visit. The Chinese prime minister will hold meetings with the Pakistani political and military leadership.
This will be the first visit by any Chinese prime minister to Pakistan in 11 years. In 2015, President Xi Jinping addressed the Pakistan parliament during PML-N tenure.
Federal Minister For Interior Mohsin Naqvi visited different areas of the Federal Capital to review the preparations for the Shanghai Corporation Organization Summit taking place next week in Islamabad. Mohsin Naqvi made a detailed inspection of D-Chowk, Constitution Avenue, Murree Road and Islamabad Expressway.
