During the high-level meeting at the Saudi ministry’s headquarters, both leaders underscored their commitment to bolstering bilateral ties, particularly in combating drug smuggling and addressing shared security challenges.

Prince Abdulaziz warmly received Naqvi and his delegation, reaffirming Saudi Arabia’s continued support for Pakistan. Naqvi expressed gratitude for Saudi Arabia’s consistent solidarity, highlighting the enduring religious and fraternal bonds between the two nations.

“Saudi Arabia has always stood by Pakistan in difficult times. We extend our best wishes for its visionary leadership and people,” Naqvi remarked.

The leaders pledged to enhance anti-narcotics efforts and other collaborative measures, further solidifying the long-standing strategic partnership between the two countries.
