ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday left for Norway to participate in ‘Oslo Summit on Education for Development,’ said a report published on Radio Pakistan.

The visit would be a milestone in the bilateral relations between the two countries as the three-day trip is the first official visit of a Pakistani premier to Norway in over a decade.

Experts hope that the visit will help strengthening the ties between Pakistan and Norway.
