Prime Minister Imran Khan will visit Saudi Arabia either before or immediately after Eid-ul-Fitr, Saudi Arabia’s Embassy in Pakistan said on Monday. During his visit, the prime minister will have a meeting with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. According to the Saudi Arabian Ambassador to Pakistan Nawaf bin Said Al-Malki, the prime minister’s trip to the kingdom has been confirmed but the dates will be announced later.
