President Asif Ali Zardari is scheduled to travel to Germany from October 22 to 24 for discussions on enhancing bilateral ties between the two nations. This visit coincides with the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Pakistan and Germany, marking the occasion with heightened significance.
