Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman arrived with a high-level delegation in Islamabad on Sunday evening.
Prime Minister Imran Khan and Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) Qamar Javed Bajwa greeted Prince Mohammed on the red carpet of a military airport in the garrison town of Rawalpindi before the prime minister personally drove the crown prince to the federal capital.
A formation of JF-17 thunder jets and F-16 fighter jets escorted the plane of the crown prince after its entry into the Pakistani airspace. On arrival, the crown prince was given a 21-gun salute.
The crown prince’s trip is being treated by Islamabad as the biggest state visit since Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2015. The visit marks deepening ties between the two allies.
Prince Mohammed said the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia desired an economically and politically strong Pakistan. He said Pakistan had a great future under its new leadership.
