The goals of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s trip to Saudi Arabia are to boost economic cooperation, encourage investment, and fortify bilateral ties.
Foreign Office Spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan stated in a weekly briefing that the visit highlighted the long-standing historical ties between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and will open the door to deeper understanding between the two countries, improved trade and investment cooperation, and improved diplomatic coordination on bilateral, regional, and international issues.
The prime minister met Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman during the tour, and the two leaders had fruitful discussions about how to improve relations between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
According to the FO spokesperson, the number of unfounded claims made by Indian leadership about Jammu and Kashmir has increased.
The spokesperson responded to the Indian External Affairs Minister’s comments at the Raisina debate in New Delhi by stating that India was the one that brought the Jammu and Kashmir issue before the UN in 1948.
According to him, India had no authority to hold the security council and its former members accountable for the decisions that were later passed.
According to him, a sustainable peace in South Asia depends on a peaceful resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir conflict that complies with pertinent UN Security Council decisions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
Regarding Israeli aggression in the West Bank and Gaza, Shafqat Ali Khan stated that Pakistan calls for an immediate end to hostilities and categorically denounces Israel’s savage attacks against the West Bank and Gazan people, the flagrant breach of the ceasefire agreement, and the deaths of innocent civilians, including women, children, and the elderly.
