Will changing the region on my AppStore delete my entire Apple Music Library?

I have shifted to a new country and need to change my AppStore to get crucial apps and services (like ApplePay) that aren't available in my previous country AppStore. The only thing I need to carry over is my Apple Music Library. I don't have any purchased music from iTunes or anything, it is just the Apple Music library.


Will it be lost after the changeover?
