November 26, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Belarus and Pakistan will consider a visa waiver, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka has said, following today’s talks with Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif in Islamabad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe heard you about the visa-free travel. The foreign minister knows our policy very well. I think we won’t have any problems here,\u201d the Belarusian ruler\u2019s press office quoted him as saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minsk is \u201cvery interested\u201d in Pakistan’s proposal \u201con the transport corridor, especially now,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s three-day visit to Islamabad has reportedly helped negotiate dozens of bilateral documents, including an intergovernmental agreement on international road transportation of passengers and cargoes, exempting carriers from customs duties, taxes and fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Pakistani nationals can travel visa-free to Belarus only via the Minsk airport provided they have multiple entry Schengen visas and flight bookings that confirm their departure from Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2021, many Pakistanis have been trying to cross illegally into the European Union via Belarus along with other third-country foreigners. Rights groups recorded 116 deaths among illegal migrants, including Pakistani nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
