During her trip, the chief minister will visit Yokohama, Osaka, and Tokyo, where she is scheduled to hold high-level meetings with Japanese business leaders, major corporate representatives, and government officials.
The agenda focuses on exploring investment opportunities, boosting bilateral trade, and promoting stronger economic ties between Japan and Pakistan, particularly in Punjab.
