Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi will address the UN General Assembly session on Thursday to explain South Asian nation’s position on key international political, social and development issues.
On the sidelines of the General Assembly session, the Prime Minister is scheduled to hold nine bilateral meetings, including with US Vice President Mike Pence.
The Prime Minister will also meet the Jordanian King and leaders of Turkey, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Iran, the United Kingdom and Nepal. He will also have talks with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, according to media reports.
In addition, the Prime Minister will also exchange views with former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and some American business leaders.
