Pakistan Will Consider Visa for Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann’s Visit if Approved
Pakistan has expressed willingness to consider issuing a visa to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann if he wishes to visit for the World Punjabi Conference in Lahore on November 27. Pakistan's Foreign Office clarified that Indian government permission is required for Mann's travel.
