In response to some media reports regarding the visit of President of the Russian Federation to Pakistan in July, the following is attributable Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri, Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Islamabad, July 05, 2021 (PPI-OT):“We have seen some media reports regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to Pakistan. Pakistan and Russia are close partners and friends. The two sides are committed to building a strong multi-dimensional relationship that not only serves their respective national interests but also contributes to regional as well as global peace and security. Exchange of high level visits is an important part of the growing Pakistan-Russia relations. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov paid a successful visit to Islamabad in April this year and last year Pakistan’s Foreign Minister and Defence Minister visited the Russian Federation. While invitations for visits at the summit level have been extended by both sides, no such visit has been scheduled yet.”
