Turkey’s Erdogan heads to Saudi Arabia for talks with MBS, Pakistan’s Sharif
The visit comes as the three countries ramp up coordination to weather the regional fallout from the Iran war.
From August 6 to 8, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, alongside Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Asim Munir, will embark on a visit to Saudi Arabia, according to the Foreign Office. Spokesperson Tahir Andrabi revealed that Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, currently in Saudi Arabia following a visit to Jordan, will accompany the two leaders.
The visit aims to strengthen the longstanding Pakistan-Saudi bilateral relationship and exchange perspectives on regional and international matters of mutual interest, said Andrabi. Despite the current tensions in the Gulf, the visit will carry significant implications beyond the immediate crisis, extending to deepening strategic cooperation and enhancing coordination on shared concerns, he added.
The visit underscores Pakistan's enduring partnership with Saudi Arabia, built on decades of mutual trust, cooperation, and brotherhood. An official statement further affirmed the importance of the proposed visit.
