Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said he was “deeply touched” by the warm reception given to him by Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud during his official one-day visit to Riyadh.
In a post on X, he described the unprecedented escort of his aircraft by Royal Saudi Air Force jets and the smart guard of the Saudi Armed Forces as proof of the “abiding love and mutual respect” between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
He said his “most cordial talks” with the Crown Prince covered a wide range of issues, reviewing regional challenges and exploring ways to enhance bilateral cooperation.
The premier praised the Crown Prince’s “vision and leadership” in guiding the Muslim world and highlighted his “consistent support” and “keen interest” in expanding Saudi investment, trade and business ties with Pakistan.
PM Shehbaz added that he prays for Pakistan-Saudi Arabia friendship to “continue to flourish and attain new heights of glory.”
