ISLAMABAD / MOSCOW : Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has reached Moscow Sunday on an official visit to Russia from 29-30 January at the invitation of his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov.

Earlier on Saturday, the Foreign Ministry had announced the development via a press release.

“The foreign minister will hold official talks with his Russian counterpart where the two sides would deliberate upon the entire spectrum of bilateral relations and exchange views on the regional and international issues of mutual interest,” stated the press release.

The visit by the foreign minister comes almost a week after Pakistan and Russia reached an agreement on the supply of Russian crude oil and other oil products in a major breakthrough at a time when the country is facing a severe economic crunch.
