Sources confirmed that a formal decision was taken to cancel the forum, and participating delegations have been informed accordingly. The event was expected to bring together more than 100 Pakistani companies for meetings with Russian businesses aimed at strengthening bilateral trade and investment cooperation.
Officials cited the current security environment and airspace situation as key reasons behind the cancellation. The development comes amid heightened regional instability, prompting authorities to reassess large-scale business engagements linked to the visit.
While no official announcement has been made regarding the cancellation or postponement of the Prime Minister’s visit itself, the suspension of the business forum is being viewed as a significant indication of the challenges posed by the ongoing situation.
