RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman received a phone call on Wednesday from Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
During the call the prime minister reiterated Pakistan’s full support and commitment to stand firmly with the Kingdom against repeated Iranian attacks threatening its security and sovereignty, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
During the call the two leaders discussed the latest regional developments, the repercussions of the ongoing military escalation on regional and global security and stability, and the efforts being made in this regard.
The call came as Shehbaz Sharif indicated that he was willing to host talks between the US and Iran on ending the war in the Gulf, a day after President Donald Trump postponed threats to bomb Iranian power plants, saying there had been “productive” talks.
In a post on X, Shehbaz Sharif said Pakistan welcomed and fully supported efforts to pursue dialogue to end the war.
