Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has met with the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman for a second time within a month.
During the meeting the two leaders discussed bilateral relations between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, the regional situation, and Israel’s war on Gaza, Sharif’s office said in a statement.
Sharif, who arrived in Riyadh on Saturday to attend a two-day special meeting of the World Economic Forum, attended a Special Dialogue and Gala Dinner hosted by the Saudi crown prince in Riyadh.
Sharif congratulated the Saudi crown prince for successfully organizing the WEF Special Meeting, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said.
It was the second meeting between the two months in April. They had earlier met on April 8 when Shehbaz Sharif was in Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah during Ramadan.
“To continue the discussion, the Prime Minister said that he has brought with him a high-powered delegation to Riyadh, including key Ministers responsible for investment so that follow-up meetings could take place between relevant officials,” the PMO said.
Sharif met Saudi Arabia’s ministers of finance, investment, and industry on Sunday at the sidelines of the WEF meeting. In his meeting with the Saudi finance minister, the two sides agreed that Saudi Arabia would explore more opportunities for investment in Pakistan.
The Prime Minister extended his invitation to His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, requesting that he visit Pakistan formally as soon as possible.
