Saudi King values Pakistan’s strategic strength: envoy
ISLAMABAD: Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA)’s Ambassador in Pakistan Admiral (R) Nawaf Saeed Al-Malkiy said on Friday that Saudi King Sulman had prioritised economic and strategic strengthening of the Kingdom and Pakistan. He said to transform this vision into reality, KSA was all set to play a pivotal role in future.“In view of Saudi leadership, Saudi-Pak economic and strategic interests are intertwined. The people of Pakistan are partners with KSA in its quest for economic prosperity that will open up new job opportunities for the masses in general and for further Pak defence strengths in particular,” the ambassador said during an exchange of views with former federal minister for information Muhammad Ali Durrani, who called on him at the Royal Embassy.
He said a new era of cooperation in multiple fields including economy and defence between the two countries would boost benefits of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (EPEC) that would bring bilateral relations to a new dimension.
A high-level delegation from KSA would land in Pakistan at the start of the new year to develop an understanding already reached at the level of military and civil leadership on various initiatives to be taken in future, he explained.
He said Saudi and Pakistani relations are based on mutual respect, religious affection and trust. Ambassador Malkiy said King Sulman and Crown Prince Muhammad shared vision for Pakistan’s strong economy, defence and prosperity of its people.
Muhammad Ali Durrani praised the initiatives taken under the vision of King Sulman and Crown Prince Muhammad for 2030 for Pakistan and its people while appreciating an active role being played by the Ambassador Malkiy to start a renewed effort for getting the two peoples closer. He expressed his confidence that 2018 would lead relations of both the countries to an exemplary partnership of mutual advantage enabling people of Pakistan to gain from it the most.
