Pakistan – (Web Desk) – Pakistan’s advance delegation has arrived in Switzerland ahead of the Shehbaz Sharif Switzerland visit, where Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is expected to attend the signing ceremony of a landmark Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Iran.

The delegation left a day early to handle all preparations on the ground. It includes senior officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other key government departments.

Foreign Secretary Amina Baloch has also traveled to Switzerland and will join the team before the formal event takes place.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is scheduled to depart for Switzerland on Thursday. He is expected to be present at the official signing ceremony on June 19.
