President Asif Ali Zardari has shortened his ongoing Europe visit and cancelled his planned trip to France. According to sources, the president will return to Pakistan after completing his visit to the United Kingdom instead of travelling to France.
Sources said that President Asif Ali Zardari is scheduled to depart for Pakistan from the UK on September 8. The change in schedule means his planned two-day visit to France will no longer take place.
President Zardari was expected to spend two days in France as part of his European tour. However, following the latest change, he will conclude his international visit in the United Kingdom and travel back to Pakistan from there.
During his stay in the UK, President Zardari has held meetings with senior Pakistani political figures. The engagements have included discussions on matters of mutual interest as well as issues relating to Pakistan and the broader international environment.
Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi also met President Zardari in the United Kingdom. The meeting focused on various matters, although further details regarding the discussions may become available through official channels.
Meanwhile, Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari also met President Asif Ali Zardari in London. Their meeting attracted attention amid ongoing political developments in Pakistan, with various political and national matters reportedly discussed.
Following the cancellation of the France leg, President Asif Ali Zardari will now conclude his Europe trip in the UK and return to Pakistan on September 8.
