  "summary": "Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif reaffirmed Pakistan's unwavering support for Saudi Arabia during a meeting with the newly appointed Saudi Ambassador Dr Rajeh Tami Albugamy. The statement from the Prime Minister's Office highlighted the commitment to strengthening bilateral relations across various sectors, condemning recent Houthi attacks in Saudi Arabia that resulted in casualties and injuries. The meeting comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, with Saudi Arabia launching airstrikes on Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen in response to the attacks on Saudi Aramco facilities. Pakistan has consistently expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia, most recently at an emergency meeting of the Makkah pact in Riyadh.",
