“The detailed agenda of the Chinese Foreign Minister’s visit to Pakistan is still being worked out,” she said.
“The two sides will cover the entire spectrum of bilateral relations and will discuss regional issues of common interest as per our tradition and practice,” she said.
Aslam also confirmed that President Xi is set to visit Pakistan this year but said exact dates of the visit are being worked out.
