Saudi foreign minister to visit Pakistan soon: FM Shah Mehmood Qureshi

The delegation includes Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan al-Saud.

The foreign minister emphasised that the visit reflects that the ties between Islamabad and Riyadh are “further strengthening”. He said the two countries have “deep, historical and fraternal ties”.

Qureshi once again denied pressure on Pakistan to recognise Israel. “Pakistan’s stance on Israel is clear and we stick to it.”

FM Qureshi said India is using its land against Pakistan. He added India is training terrorists and sponsoring banned organisations as the EU DisinfoLab unveiled India’s nefarious designs about Pakistan.

Referring to the opposition’s anti-government drive, the minister said the PDM-constituent parties’ narrative to bring the government under pressure has become ineffective. Prime Minister Imran Khan enjoys public support; therefore, why he should resign on the desire of the PDM, he asked.
