His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, received a telephone call from His Excellency Mr. Mohammad Shahbaz Sharif, Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, as part of the ongoing communication and joint coordination between the two leaderships to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood and fruitful cooperation.
During the call, the two sides reviewed the strong bilateral relations between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, discussing ways to develop cooperation in various fields to serve the interests of both countries and their brotherly peoples.

The depth of historical relations between Riyadh and Islamabad
These telephone conversations are a continuation of a long and distinguished history of fraternal relations between the Kingdom and Pakistan, characterized by strategic depth and a shared understanding of issues concerning the Muslim world. Saudi-Pakistani relations are considered a model of international relations, based on strong religious, cultural, and social ties that transcend immediate political interests, forming a strategic alliance that has endured for decades.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia pays great attention to the stability and prosperity of Pakistan, which is always evident in the Kingdom’s support for Islamabad in various circumstances and crises, whether through direct economic support or through development investments aimed at strengthening the infrastructure and economy of Pakistan.
The importance of economic and political cooperation
On the economic front, the Kingdom is a major trade and investment partner for Pakistan, and recent years have witnessed remarkable activity to increase the volume of trade and inject Saudi investments into vital sectors within Pakistan, in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, which aims to expand international economic partnerships.
Politically, Saudi-Pakistani coordination plays a pivotal role in addressing Islamic and global issues, as the two countries share similar views on many matters, particularly regarding combating terrorism, supporting Muslim causes worldwide, and strengthening joint Islamic action through the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. This contact underscores the commitment of the Crown Prince and the Pakistani Prime Minister to continued consultations to ensure the achievement of international peace and security.
