Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba arrived in Islamabad on a two-day official visit on Thursday.

Kuleba is expected to call on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and will also hold detailed talks with Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

Kuleba and Bilawal will hold delegation-level talks and also plant a tree in the Foreign Office.

The food crisis resulting from the Ukraine War is expected to come under discussion in the meeting.

“Pakistan and Ukraine enjoy close and cordial relations particularly in the fields of trade, investment, agriculture and higher education,” a Foreign Office statement said on Wednesday.

The Foreign Office also said that Kuleba’s arrival will mark the ‘first ever Ministerial visit from Ukraine’ since the country established diplomatic relations with Pakistan in 1993.
