Mr. Sharif’s proposed meeting with the U.S. President will be scheduled in the coming months, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry said on Thursday.
He said that Mr. Sharif will be visiting New York between September 23 and 29 and address the General Assembly on September 27. He will also address some of the high level events being organised on the sidelines of U.N.
