The occupied territory has since been under a strict government-imposed lockdown and communications blackout.

According to a statement issued by the PM House, issues of mutual interest and bilateral relations were discussed in the meeting.

He condemned the recent attacks on oil installations in KSA, which has cut the kingdom’s crude production, fanning fear of further instability in the Middle East.

PM Imran was received at the royal terminal in Jeddah by Makkah's Governor Khalid Bin Faisal al Saud.
