Pakistan: Azerbaijan President to visit Islamabad July 11-12
Pakistan to host Azerbaijan President in Islamabad July 11-12. Heightened security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Pakistan will host Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev in Islamabad July 11-12. The leader will meet with senior Pakistani officials to enhance bilateral economic cooperation. While neither Baku nor Islamabad has released details of the visit's agenda, potential meeting venues include key government buildings within the city's Red Zone, such as the Presidential Palace (Aiwan-e-Sadr), Prime Minister's Office, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Increased security is likely in the capital, particularly within the Red Zone and other stops on Aliyev's itinerary. Authorities will likely erect checkpoints and block roads to facilitate Aliyev's movements, leading to localized traffic disruptions. Authorities could temporarily close airspace around Islamabad as the foreign leader arrives and departs the city; flight delays are possible.
Heed instructions from authorities. Plan for localized traffic disruptions and flight delays. Seek alternative routes to avoid potential venues for high-level meetings. Allow additional time to reach destinations.
