ISLAMABAD: Chinese Prime Minister Li Kiang will address the joint session of parliament next Monday. The details are being finalised in Islamabad and Beijing.

According to Speaker National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will not address the parliament on the occasion.

Many agreements will be signed between both the countries during the Chinese premier’s visit.

The Chinese prime minister will hold meetings with the Pakistani political and military leadership. He will assure Pakistan of full cooperation against terrorism and other threats.

After nine years, a Chinese leader will address the parliament of Pakistan after President Xi Jinping addressed it in 2015.
