BRUSSELS: Joseph Borrell, High Representative of European Union and Vice President of European Commission, in a bilateral conference with Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Friday, on the sidelines of the Antalya Diplomacy Opportunity, invited Prime Minister Imran Khan to visit the European Union.
It was last in March 2010 when a Pakistani head of state, the then prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, had been requested to visit the European Union.
A year prior, the first state-level summit in the history of Pak-EU relations, the European Union-Pakistan summit, took place on June 17, 2009, when Asif Ali Zardari was president.
The second summit was held on June 4, 2010, during Prime Minister Gilani’s law.
That same year, a meeting in Brussels of the Friends of Democratic Pakistan took place in October.
Prime Minister Imran Khan visited the European Parliament in 2007, not in an official capacity, but as a party-political leader, invited by then member of European Assembly Dr. Sajjad Karim and the president of Friends of Democratic Pakistan group in the European parliament.
