ISLAMABAD, October 15: : Prime Minister Imran Khan arrived in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday in a bid to de-escalate tensions between Tehran and Riyadh.
“The prime minister will confer with the Saudi leadership in light of his recent consultations with other leaders. Bilateral ties and other
regional developments would also form part of the discussions,” a statement by the Foreign Office earlier said.
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are bound in a fraternal relationship marked by mutual trust and understanding, close cooperation and an abiding tradition of supporting each other, the statement added. This would be PM Imran’s third visit to Saudi Arabia this year. His earlier visits were in May and September 2019. Agencies
