Prime Minister Imran Khan is likely to pay visits to Saudi Arabia and Iran after concluding his visit to China, reports said Wednesday. Diplomatic sources said preparations for the next visits have already commenced as the role of Prime Minister Imran Khan gets significant importance for establishment of peace in the region. The prime minister will hold consultations with important stakeholders prior to departing for the next visits, sources said, adding that the dates for the visits will be announced after necessary consultations. The prime minister’s likely visit to Iran is being seen as very crucial as he had offered to act as a mediator to defuse tensions in the Middle East over the request of US President Donald Trump and the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during his trip to the US for attending the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session. The reports had earlier emerged that Imran Khan will be visiting Saudi Arabia on October 29 to participate in three-day Future Investment Initiative (FII) 2019 in Riyadh over the invitation of Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz. It is pertinent to mention here that the Saudi government has also invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the upcoming event.
