WASHINGTON - Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi reaches Washington today.
He will hold talks with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and other officials of Trump administration.
It will be the new Pakistani government’s first interaction with the United Nations.
The minister’s first official engagement of this week-long tour is an address to the Pakistani community in Washington, and the same day he flies to New York to attend the 73rd session of the UN General Assembly, which began on Sept 18.
The high-level General Assembly debate, however, begins on Sept 25 and is scheduled to last for nine working days. Qureshi is expected to address the General Assembly on Sept 29.
