ISLAMABAD, August 20 (INP): Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have always enjoyed unique relations deep rooted in historic, religious, cultural and social ties and they will always stand together. This was stated by the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at a press briefing here on Thursday. " The two countries have strong economic, political, security and military cooperation at all levels. Relations between the two brotherly countries have continued to grow over time. Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have not only closely cooperated with each other at international fora but have always stood by each other at times of need. Pakistan values Saudi Arabia important role in the OIC Contact Group on Jammu & Kashmir. Pakistan has an abiding commitment to defending the sanctity of Harmain Sharifain. Pakistan remains firmly committed to the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of Saudi Arabia. The people of Pakistan have special reverence and affection for the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques (Khadim ul Harmain Sharifain). Frequent high-level visits and close leadership level contacts have been the longstanding tradition of the brotherly relations between the two countries. The visits by Prime Minister Imran Khan and the landmark visit of Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman in February 2019 have further cemented our relations and provided new avenues of cooperation in trade, investment and other fields. The long-term strategic relationship between the two brotherly countries is time-tested and will continue to grow to our mutual benefit. Prime Minister Imran Khan’s remarks on the subject in his recent media engagement and COAS Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa’s just concluded visit to Saudi Arabia testify to the unchanged fraternal relations and close contact between the two brotherly countries."
