Pakistan Open to Issuing Visa to Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann for Visit
Pakistan has stated it would consider issuing a visa to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann if he wishes to visit, following his invitation to the World Punjabi Conference in Lahore on November 27. Pakistan's Foreign Office clarified that India's permission for Mann's travel is a separate matter. Mann also expressed hope for reopening the Kartarpur Corridor to facilitate Sikh pilgrimages. The corridor has been closed since May 2025 after India’s missile strikes in response to a terror attack, with Pakistan ready to facilitate pilgrims once restrictions lift.
