ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has instructed officials of relevant ministries to stay in close contact with their Saudi counterparts to ensure tangible progress in all areas where the two countries had agreed to work together during a recent visit by the PM to the kingdom, a press release by the PM Office said on Monday.
Khan traveled on a three-day visit to Saudi Arabia earlier this month on the invitation of Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The two leaders were present as senior government functionaries from both sides signed several agreements and memoranda of understanding related to trade, energy, media and economy.
“Recalling the warm hospitality and keen interest of the Saudi leadership in forging closer cooperation with Pakistan in diverse fields, in particular bilateral economic and investment ties, the prime minister urged the ministries to ensure quick and robust follow-up on the outcomes,” the official handout added.
Khan maintained there was significant potential for bilateral cooperation between the two countries while chairing a high-profile meeting regarding his visit to the kingdom.
“Highlighting the potential of Saudi Vision 2030, the prime minister mentioned the prospects of job opportunities in skilled and semi-skilled sectors for Pakistanis in the coming decade, which, if optimally utilized, could help transform Pakistan’s economy and development,” said the statement.
He emphasized the importance of developing a close liaison with the Saudi authorities for the completion of all projects within the stipulated period.
