ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Saudi Arabia has pledged to continue full cooperation with Pakistan to meet emergency oil supply needs amid regional tensions, underscoring the strategic energy partnership between the two countries.
The commitment was conveyed during a meeting between Ali Parvez Malik and Nawaf Saeed Al-Malki, where both sides discussed the current regional situation.
Malik said Saudi authorities assured the security of oil shipments through the Yanbu port on the Red Sea and confirmed that a vessel would depart from Pakistan to transport crude oil. He expressed Pakistan’s gratitude for Saudi support and hoped that supplies from Yanbu would be prioritised for Pakistan.
He also noted that most of Pakistan’s petroleum imports transit via the Strait of Hormuz, making Saudi support particularly crucial under current circumstances.
The Saudi ambassador emphasised that Riyadh would maintain full cooperation with Pakistan in any emergency, reaffirming that both nations stand together during times of crisis.
