He is also scheduled to engage with major Chambers of Commerce in London and Birmingham to promote Pakistan’s export potential and encourage private sector collaboration in trade.

Meetings with UK-based companies operating in food processing, IT, engineering, fintech and capital investment sectors are planned to highlight Pakistan’s market opportunities and attract targeted investment.

The visit includes sessions with the UK Pakistan Business Council, Pakistan Britain Business Council, and UK Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry to strengthen institutional trade ties and promote diaspora-led trade initiatives.

The ministry said the visit reflects Pakistan’s efforts to expand its commercial presence in key international markets and support economic diplomacy objectives.
