There has been a great deal of confusion on Thursday surrounding Chinese President
Xi Jinping's visit to Pakistan and as to whether the trip has been cancelled or delayed.Reports
suggest that the visit, scheduled from 14th to 16th September, may be cancelled due to the
ongoing political tensions in Islamabad between the government and protestors led by
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT)
leader Tahirul Qadri.National Security and Foreign Affairs Advisor to the PM Sartaj Aziz said
that the Chines leader’s visit will not be cancelled but it is a possibility that it could be
delayed.At the same time Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal said on Twitter
that the visit had been cancelled and lashed out at the PTI and PTA leaders.
