Abbasi to meet Nawaz Sharif in London tomorrow

Islamabad: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi is scheduled to arrive in London from Istanbul tomorrow, the sources privy to the development said on Monday.

The purpose of his visit is to hold a meeting with the party's supremo, Nawaz Sharif.

Abbasi's meeting with Nawaz Sharif is slated to take place on Tuesday evening in London. The agenda of the meeting primarily revolves around internal matters concerning the PML-N. After the discussion with Sharif, Abbasi is expected to depart for Paris, as per the sources.

The intra-party elections at the federal level were conducted at the PML-N's Central Secretariat in Chak Shehzad. Along with Shehbaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz was elected unopposed as the PML-N chief organiser, Ahsan Iqbal as secretary general, Marriyum Aurangzeb as secretary of information, Ataullah Tarar as Deputy Secretary, and Ishaq Dar as Secretary of Finance.

Shahid Khaqan Abbasi's visit to London and his subsequent meeting with Nawaz Sharif hold significant importance for the PML-N as the party strategizes and discusses its future course of action under the leadership of its supremo.

It is noteworthy that Shahid Khaqan Abbasi did not receive any official position within the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz following the recent intra-party elections held on June 16. All the central office-bearers of the party, including President Shehbaz Sharif, were "re-elected" for another four-year term without facing any contest during the intra-party polls.
