Adel al-Jubeir assures Pakistan of Saudi Arabia's complete support in resolving tensions with India
Saudi State Minister for Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir arrived in Pakistan on Thursday in a follow-up meeting to Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman's two-day visit last month.
The Saudi minister, during his one-day visit, held meetings with Prime Minister Imran Khan, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa.
He was greeted at the Prime Minister's Office by the premier where the two discussed the ongoing Pak-India tensions and matters of regional and bilateral interest.
According to a statement released by the Prime Minister's Office, the premier expressed hope that the release of 2107 Pakistani prisoners — a request put forth by the prime minister on the night of the crown prince's arrival — and the increase in Haj quota would take place in a "smooth and timely manner".
The premier told Al-Jubeir that the crown prince had "won the hearts of [the] Pakistani people by his generous offer of support to Pakistani community", the statement said.
