Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif met with Saudi Minister Abdulrahman Al-Fadley at the Prime Minister's House in Islamabad. He called for stronger economic and agriculture ties between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, describing the kingdom as a strategic partner.

The two leaders discussed ways to deepen economic and agricultural ties, with the aim of translating their longstanding relationship into a mutually beneficial trade and investment partnership, according to Business Recorder.
