Pakistan PM due in Saudi for talks on improving ties
Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan was due in Saudi Arabia yesterday for a visit aimed at enhancing ties after months of strained relations over the disputed region of Kashmir. Saudi Arabia was the first foreign country Khan visited after his election in 2018 and he has visited the kingdom five times since, most recently in December 2019. But Saudi Arabia appeared frustrated with Pakistan last year after it came under pressure from its longstanding ally to take a firm stand on the Kashmir dispute with India. Khan is due to meet Saudi leaders in the Red Sea city of Jeddah (west) during his three-day visit, which Islamabad said was at the invitation of de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
