Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Friday justified Prime Minister Imran Khan's maiden visit to Russia amidst Moscow's military operation in eastern Ukraine, saying it was a bilateral visit planned well ahead of the start of the conflict.
Khan arrived in Russia on Wednesday on a two-day visit - the first by a Pakistani premier in over two decades.
"We held consultations before the visit and looked at its pros and cons, and decided to go ahead as it was a bilateral visit. We had clarity about it," Qureshi, who was also part of the delegation accompanying Prime Minister Khan to Moscow, said here.
