The meeting will also delve into crucial national concerns like Law and Order, Economic policy, Kashmir, foreign policy, China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), and addressing climate change to foster agreement.

Prime Minister Shahbaz Shareef is expected to give a parting speech during the joint session and has announced his intention to submit a summary to the president for dissolving the National Assembly.
