ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry on Sunday said that bilateral relationship between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia will strengthen owing to visit by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman.
Mohammad Bin Salman is scheduled to visit Pakistan next month.
The minister made the comments while talking to his Saudi Arabian counterpart Turki Al-Shabanah via telephone.
Chaudhry said that mutual respect, trust and cooperation are the pillars of the bilateral relationship between the two countries. He elaborated that new avenues of cooperation between the two friendly countries are expected to open up, including cooperation in media.
In October last year, Saudi Arabia came to Pakistan’s assistance as it decided to deposit $3 billion in the national exchequer for a period of one year as a balance of payment support and agreed on a one-year deferred payment facility of $3 billion for importing oil. The announcement was made during Prime Minister Imran Khan’s visit to the country.
