Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will embark on a two-day official visit to Bahrain on Wednesday, signalling Islamabad’s push to deepen ties with the Gulf kingdom.

He will travel with a high-level delegation that includes Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, federal ministers and senior officials.

During the visit, the prime minister will hold talks with Bahrain’s leadership to expand cooperation in trade, investment, energy, technology, education and culture.

Officials say the trip will strengthen the already warm bilateral relationship and open new avenues of partnership. The two sides are also expected to review ways to enhance people-to-people exchanges.

The visit reflects Pakistan’s continued engagement with Bahrain and its focus on building a more results-driven, strategic partnership.
