Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is set to make a significant diplomatic visit to Russia from March 3 to 5, as confirmed by multiple sources including the Russian state news agency RIA and the Pakistani Ambassador to Moscow, Faisal Niaz Tirmizi. This visit is seen as a pivotal moment in strengthening the historically contained relationship between Pakistan and Russia, which has evolved notably in recent years. Former senator Mushahid Hussain Sayed characterized the trip as 'historic,' suggesting it could catalyze further development in bilateral relations. The discussions during this visit are expected to focus on regional issues, particularly the ongoing situation in Afghanistan, with Russia urging both Pakistan and Afghanistan to cease cross-border hostilities and pursue diplomatic resolutions (Minutemirror, 2026; Devdiscourse, 2026).
