Bilawal’s change in plan create speculations abroad
After the two-day Shanghai Cooperation Conference, Foreign Minister and PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari landed in the US capital on Sunday morning, boarded a car, and hit the road to New York, the Pakistan Embassy said. Embassy officials explained the reason for the ‘detour’ to have happened because the foreign minister missed the direct flight to New York.
However, PPP workers in New York, and Washington, received an email from their local leaders three days ago, saying that “because of some last-minute changes in his plans, the party chairman will now go directly to Washington, before coming to New York”.
The email caused wild speculations among PPP supporters, and in the Pakistani American community in general, some of whom claimed that the foreign minister met “someone important” in Washington. Who, they do not say, but most of them insist that he indeed met someone.
On the contrary, diplomats at the Pakistan Embassy and the country’s Permanent Mission at the United Nations rejected such speculations.

But those who saw beyond these speculations, claim that this meeting was “part of an effort to arrange a face-to-face meeting between Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and US President Joe Biden”.
