ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Raja Ali Ejaz, had a wide-ranging meeting with the Kingdom’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir, in Riyadh on Sunday.
The meeting reviewed the bilateral relations between the two countries and explored issues of common concern. It also focused on the regional situation in South Asia where tensions have escalated between Islamabad and New Delhi following of India’s Modi administration’s decision to revoke the special constitutional status of Jammu and Kashmir.
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have always enjoyed cordial relationship with each other. However, their bilateral ties hit a new high after Prime Minister Imran Khan’s government assumed the political power of the country last year.
Ever since, the top leaders of both countries have frequently visited one another to broaden and deepen bilateral relations between the two states. Earlier this year, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman visited Islamabad to meet Pakistan’s top leadership.
Prime Minister Imran Khan is also expected to visit the Kingdom in the coming weeks after attending the upcoming United Nations General Assembly session in New York.
