ISLAMABAD : The Foreign Office (FO) on Thursday confirmed that Prime Minister Imran Khan will meet US President Donald Trump on July 22.

During his weekly press conference, FO Spokesperson Dr Muhammad Faisal informed that Imran shall make his maiden trip to the United States on the invitation of US President Donald Trump this month.

He said the two leaders would review bilateral relations as well as discuss regional and international issues. This will be the first visit by Prime Minister Imran to the US since his party won the elections in July last year.

Just ahead of the visit, the US declared the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) as a global terrorist organisation. The spokesperson hoped that the move would help shrink space for BLA to operate.

On June 27, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi announced that  Trump had extended an invitation to PM Imran. However, the PM could not travel to Washington earlier because of the budget session.

According to Qureshi, the US president expressed his desire to meet the PM to discuss “important regional matters”.
