Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif arrived in Hangzhou on Saturday for an official visit to China that will run through Tuesday, at the invitation of Premier Li Qiang.

During his stay in Hangzhou, Sharif is expected to attend signing ceremonies, meet local officials, and visit Chinese technology companies.

One of the key events will be a business-to-business investment summit on Sunday, bringing together senior executives and industry leaders from both countries. The focus is expected to be on investment opportunities in artificial intelligence, the digital economy and advanced manufacturing.

Sharif is expected to meet with President Xi Jinping and hold talks with Li in Beijing afterwards. He will also attend a reception marking the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Pakistan.
