00:00Former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif embarked on a five-day private visit to China,
00:08departing late Monday in a low-profile manner.
00:11Accompanied by his grandson, Junaid Zafar, and personal staff, Sharif's details were
00:16disclosed by the Pakistan Muslim League, Nawaz, but the purpose of his visit still remains
00:21undisclosed.
00:23Reports are suggesting that Sharif intends to undergo a medical check-up in China and
00:26hold meetings with Chinese companies regarding development projects in Punjab, where his
00:32daughter Maryam Nawaz serves as chief minister.
00:35Foreign Minister Ishaddar also is accompanying Nawaz Sharif, fueling speculations of a potential
00:41special assignment in China.
00:43Surprisingly, this development comes days after Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi met
00:47with Pakistan PM Shahbaz Sharif, who is brother of Nawaz Sharif, and both are considered a
00:52close ally to the Beijing and the Communist Party.
00:55Sources close to the Nawaz Sharif's family have revealed that his visit is not shared
01:00with the party's leadership, hinting at a secretive nature.
01:04Speculations within the party circles revolve around the possibility of Sharif undertaking
01:07a significant task in China, perhaps beyond the purview of his brother, Shahbaz Sharif.
01:12Notably, Sharif's visit to China for medical reasons is unprecedented too, as he previously
01:17sought medical treatment in the United Kingdom in 2019 during his self-imposed exile.
01:23His return to Pakistan in 2023 followed the ousting of Imran Khan's government.
01:28Shahbaz Sharif now leads the coalition government at the federal level.
01:32Since the electoral setback in February, Nawaz Sharif has maintained a subdued presence,
01:36refraining from political limelight.
01:38The purpose and implication of this current trip to China still remains speculated, stirring
01:42curiosity within the political circles and the public alike.
