Saudi Arabia's crown prince Mohammed bin Salman met with
Pakistan's newly elected Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif at the
al-Salam palace, Trend reports citing Al
Arabiya .
During the meeting, the two leaders discussed the“prospects of
bilateral cooperation and promising opportunities as well as the
ways of developing them in various fields,” the official Saudi
Press Agency (SPA) reported.
They also discussed regional and international issues.
The meeting was reportedly preceded by a welcome ceremony hosted
by the Kingdom to honor the new Pakistani leader.
A suite of high-ranking ministers from the Kingdom representing
the interior ministry, foreign affairs, commerce, energy, defense,
media, and more were in attendance.
Before meeting with the Kingdom's leadership, Sharif arrived in
Saudi Arabia's Medina to perform prayers at the Prophet's
Mosque.
Before arriving in the Kingdom, Sharif said via Twitter that his
visit seeks to reaffirm the“bonds of brotherhood and friendship”
between the two countries.
Sharif was elected as the new prime minister of Pakistan on
April 11. His cabinet was sworn in last week during a brief
ceremony in the capital Islamabad.
