Earlier, Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz left from London to Switzerland’s Geneva, where they will stay for a week.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will also be visiting Geneva to co-host the International Conference on Climate Resilient Pakistan along with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on January 9.
The conference is meant to serve as a platform to marshal international support for Pakistan’s flood-affected population.
However, it was learnt that Nawaz will also meet with PM Shehbaz, who is expected to reach the Swiss city on Sunday.
“Nawaz Sharif’s heart surgeon is also based in Geneva and he has made clinical appointments in the city for him,” the sources said, adding that it’s the same surgeon who has often visited the elder Sharif in London at the Avenfield Apartment.
The two PML-N leaders will return to London after a week, as per the sources.
Last year on November 21, the supremo of the ruling party in the centre embarked on a 10-day five-nation European tour accompanied by his daughter and other family members.
It should be noted that the newly-appointed senior vice-president of PML-N has visited the British capital to spend time with her father. Last year in October, Maryam reunited with her father after three years.
It is pertinent to mention here, earlier on Jan 3 2023, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif appointed Maryam Nawaz as the senior vice president of the PML-N, authorising her to “reorganise” the party “at all functional levels”.
