Earlier on Jan 19, a Russian delegation led by Russia’s Energy Minister Nikolay Shulginov had visited Islamabad to discuss bilateral economic and trade relations, with a focus on export of oil and gas to Pakistan.
The high-level Russian delegation visited Pakistan to explore possibilities of providing oil to cash-strapped Pakistan. It is believed that the visit of Bilawal would help to expedite the supply of Russian oil to Pakistan.
Bilawal is also expected to visit US in March to attend a UN conference on Muslim women. He is also likely to attend another UN event in New York on March 15 to commemorate the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, the report added.
