ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will lead a high-level delegation to Saudi Arabia when he travels to the Kingdom today, Monday, to participate in the Future Investment Initiative (FII) summit, the foreign office said amid Islamabad’s drive to seek international trade and investment cooperation.
