Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif urged Pakistan and Saudi Arabia to strengthen their economic and agricultural ties, transforming their existing relationship into a more robust trade and investment partnership, according to the Prime Minister's Office. The prime minister made these remarks during a meeting with Saudi Environment, Water, and Agriculture Minister Engineer Abdulrahman bin Abdulmohsen Al-Fadley at the Prime Minister's House in Islamabad.
Both nations have recently signed a Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement, which stipulates that any aggression against either country is considered an aggression against both. Additionally, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkiye formalized their strategic relationship with the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement in August. During their discussion, the prime minister and the Saudi minister emphasized the importance of deepening economic and agricultural ties, stating that it would help translate their long-standing relationship into a mutually beneficial partnership.
The two sides also discussed ways to enhance agricultural productivity in Pakistan through technology, research, and efficient water resource management. A delegation of Pakistani agricultural experts is expected to visit Riyadh to further explore these opportunities.
