Islamabad:
Three-time former Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif will be on a five-day personal visit to China on Monday where he will undergo a medical check-up, according to a media report.
This will be 74-year-old Sharif's first international visit after he returned to Pakistan in October last year after a four-year self-imposed exile in Britain.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo will be accompanied by Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar during his “personal visit”, Geo News reported on Monday.
Mr Sharif's visit is personal and he will undergo a medical check-up during the trip, the report said, citing party sources.
The former Prime Minister would also hold meetings related to the development works in Punjab province and also meet owners of Chinese companies, sources said.
The PML-N leader was cleared by a high court in November 2019 to go abroad for health reasons after his medical reports showed he needed urgent treatment.
He returned to Pakistan from London in October last year after living in self-imposed exile for four years.
