The delegation, led by Djibouti National Parliament President and Acting Chairman of AU Muhammad Ali Houmed, was received by Senator Mirza Afridi and other Senate Secretariat officials at the New Islamabad International Airport.

During their visit, the delegation would visit the Parliament House and meet the Senate chairman, whereas a meeting with the Senate’s standing committee on foreign affairs is also scheduled, along with a visit to the Senate Museum and Senate Hall. “Pakistan seeks to establish parliamentary, political and trade relations with African countries on an integrated basis,” the Senate chairman said.
