Islamabad is reportedly gearing up to welcome esteemed foreign delegates with a high-level visit on July 31st and August 1st, 2023. To ensure a seamless and successful event, authorities are considering declaring these two days as local holidays.
This decision aims to ensure a smooth visit of the dignitaries with foolproof security. According to sources, high-profile Chinese dignitaries will be visiting the capital city of Pakistan on the 31st of July and the 1st of August.
As the capital city of Pakistan, Islamabad is no stranger to hosting dignitaries and foreign officials.
