Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have long-standing and historic fraternal relations, rooted deep in common faith, shared history and mutual support. Saudi Arabia is home to over two million Pakistanis, contributing in the progress and prosperity of both countries.
The visit of the PM Imran will carry forward the positive momentum of cooperation between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
