Why is he wasting public funds for useless trip. This money should be spend on Pakistani public health and education.
These shareef's and Zardari have abuse their power and public funds to promote their personal business and get kick backs in return

Unless some young educated professional emerges as a political leader in Pakistan it is in deep trouble with the current flock.

Country is sinking in floods, surmountable domestic problems, he is making on average 1-2 trips overseas, plan load of free loaders. He is intentionally keeping foreign affairs under him. One more trip to Saudi Arabia any time. Already he has signed dozens of MoUs with different countries. Did any MoU benefitted us ?

This is just the start. All want to lay foundation to join CPEC via Central Asia. The economic world lies west of Pakistan only.

It is difficult to understand that these visits do not go beyond the paper work for the visitors and this these papers disappear somewhere but not even in the dustbins.

Belarus President has already visited Pakistan by the end of May and signed a number of MoUs and trade agreements. Now it is Sharif family's turn to have a all expenses paid trip to Belarus.

@Ahmed - No there is no way to prevent him from keep taking trips and more of plane load trips.
Recent announced ones are: To NY in Sept., to Washington in Oct.
Dubai and Saudia are side trips.
One advantage: Pakistanis are learning some geography

The country is in turmoil, floods, serious war on terror, no law and order, firing on LOC, theft of taxes, electricity and the list goes on. This guy Sharif can go or come, the fact is that he cannot comprehend any thing. So let him go have fun while the party lasts after all there is another Sharif who is taking care.

There is no exports to Belarus, neither there is any import from this destination, so what is the point of a PM visiting Belarus, seems only a joy ride vacation outing and nothing else, waste of Pakistan Money on these so called joyous trips.
