On the same day, Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang is also scheduled to arrive in Pakistan with a high-level delegation.

To ensure security during the summit, a comprehensive plan was approved by Federal Minister for Interior Mohsin Naqvi. The plan includes deploying additional personnel from Pakistan Army, Rangers, FC, and Punjab police for the safety of the international guests.
