Biggest Takeaways from Saudi Foreign Minister Visit to Pakistan
This week, the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia arrived in Pakistan on a two-day visit to discuss economic cooperation and investment deals after all the ups and downs with the previous regime.
After a successful two-day visit, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan, accompanied by a delegation of ministers, concluded his visit to Pakistan on a positive note.
This visit was a continuation of the meeting between the Prime Minister and the Saudi Crown Prince in Makkah at the end of Ramadan.
Despite being decades old and multifaceted, Pakistan-Saudi Arabia relations have seen various fluctuations over the past decade.
One example is
Riyadh's dissatisfaction with Pakistan's decision to stay out of the destructive war in
Yemen.
In retrospect, it is clear that the parliament made the right decision, as the Saudis are attempting to disengage discreetly from the conflict with the Houthis.
Moreover, Riyadh's attempts to host an Islamic summit in
Malaysia were not well received by former Prime Minister
Imran Khan, who perceived these actions as an attempt to establish a "
parallel"
OIC. As a result, Mr. Khan ultimately canceled his trip to Kuala Lumpur to please the Saudis.
Meanwhile, we can see what happened to Imran Khan's government. In fact, there are many accusations by
PTI party leaders of involvement of the
US and Saudi Arabia in the regime change operation against them.
Despite the diplomatic bottlenecks in the past, the relationship between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan is on the path of improvement. Islamabad is actively seeking substantial investment from Riyadh, and the Saudi leadership is showing a willingness to overlook past problems.
In this official meeting, both nations also called for an immediate cease-fire and uninterrupted delivery of humanitarian aid in Gaza. Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan also expressed dissatisfaction with international efforts to broker a cease-fire between Israel and the militant group Hamas, saying they have been "completely inadequate."
