LAHORE, Pakistan: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is likely to visit China next month, the federal minister for railway Khawaja Saad Rafique said.
“Ministries concerned are busy in homework for the visit,” media quoted Rafique as saying at a news conference in Lahore.
During his visit, the prime minister will ask Chinese businessmen to help Pakistan develop infrastructure in sectors of ports and shipping, energy, railways and highways.
The railway minister said that certain elements are out to foil efforts being made by the government to steer the country out of the crisis.
The Chinese President Xi Jinping was scheduled to visit Pakistan in September; however, his visit was cancelled in light of the ongoing protests in Islamabad led by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT).
