Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday reaffirmed Pakistan’s “deep appreciation for Saudi Arabia’s steadfast support and generous assistance” to the country and its “pivotal role in promoting peace and stability in the region”.
He made the remarks as Saudi Ambassador Nawaf bin Said Al-Malki paid him a farewell call at the Prime Minister’s House in Islamabad after completion of his official tenure in Pakistan, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said in a statement.
Ambassador Al-Malki has been serving in Pakistan since 2017.
The PMO said PM Shehbaz congratulated the ambassador on the successful completion of his official assignment and lauded the outgoing envoy for his “outstanding contribution towards further strengthening the deep-rooted fraternal and strategic ties” between the two countries.
