ISLAMABAD: Making no secret of support to its ‘decades-long’ partner, Pakistan has said that it backs Saudi Arabia in its row with Canada, and that it stands by the Saudi Kingdom in protecting its sovereignty.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Dr. Mohammed Faisal has said that Pakistan was following with immense concern the “crisis” in relations between Saudi Arabia and Canada, and also that Pakistan, “places on record its solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

“We fully agree with the statement of the OIC secretary-general that Saudi Arabia enjoys immense respect at the regional and international level as it does among the people of Pakistan.”

Dr. Faisal said that Pakistan always supported the sovereignty of states and the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other states, adding that both these aspects are enshrined in the UN Charter and are among the basic tenets of international law as well as the foundation of peaceful and friendly inter-state relations.

“Pakistan stands by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in protecting its sovereignty as a matter of principle and based on the historic and brotherly relations between our two countries,” Dr. Faisal added.

What’s going on between Saudi Arabia and Canada
Saudia Arabia and Canada have been embroiled in a diplomatic row ever since Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland posted a demand for the Saudi government to release women-rights activist Samar Badawi on social media.

Saudi Arabia, angered by Canada’s demand last week that jailed activists in the kingdom be freed immediately, expelled the Canadian ambassador, blocked imports of Canadian grain and ended state-backed educational and medical programs in Canada.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appeared to extend an olive branch on Wednesday, saying he would keep pressing Saudi Arabia on civil liberties but also saying the Gulf Arab state had made some progress on human rights.

The Saudi Ambassador to Canada said in an interview with al Arabiya television on Thursday that Trudeau’s comments were positive, but more needed to be done.

The dispute has threatened to undermine Riyadh’s foreign investment drive, a campaign already unsettled by a series of assertive political and diplomatic initiatives by the top oil exporter.

The Financial Times reported that the Saudi central bank and state pension funds had told their overseas asset managers to sell their Canadian equities, bonds and cash holdings.

Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir two days ago ruled out any mediation efforts and said the kingdom was considering taking more measures against Canada for interfering in Saudi Arabia’s domestic affairs.

Get used to it, they demand the release of someone in China every week, we just ignore them.

Get used to it, they demand the release of someone in China every week, we just ignore them.

They give refuge to terrorists and anti nationals who create chaos in their home countries

That's a very admirable strategy you have. Indian government definitely needs to learn it from you guys.

 

[Chakar The Great]

Good decision, its goo to take sides. Rather than having confused foreign policy like India, where no one really trusts you.

 

[somebozo]

Many financial crooks have looted Pakistan and washed themselves clean by migrating to Canada which allowed all corruption proceeds to make way into Canadian economy without much question. Its time Pakistan and Saudi both demand accountability from Canada. I personally know over a dozen corrupt people who acquired Canadian citizenship..

They give refuge to terrorists and anti nationals who create chaos in their home countries

Also financial criminals..entire Palestinian mafia is operation from Canada with Canadian citizenship

 

[Śakra]

LOL stand by a country that put you on FATF grey list...

 

[BHarwana]

LOL stand by a country that put you on FATF grey list...

Pakistan is not standing by country but by values that Canada is interfering wrong here and trying to derail the reforms in Saudi Arabia

When Canada abstained from Palestine vote they have no right to talk about human rights.
A bus full of children was bombed and Canada never uttered a word and they speak on human rights what double standards.

 

[Yaseen1]

we should not damage our relations due to saudis .it is bad decision.canada has done nothing to us.stay neutral as these saudis not supported us when our name was put in FATF grey list and only turkey voted in our favour

 

[BHarwana]

we should not damage our relations due to saudis .it is bad decision.canada has done nothing to us.stay neutral

Cannot stay neutral to defend our allies and neighbours west is intervening too much into Muslim countries that has to be countered. Canada is after destroying the Saudi image after they have brought in reforms the want to take Saudis back to the place where Saudis were bashed for human rights due their propaganda. It is Saudis today Iran tomorrow and Pakistan next day this is agenda based bashing it has nothing to do with human rights.
There are more women raped in India but no country is pointing figure at them. There are protests in Denmark over Burqa ban but every one is silent. This is double standards not human rights if we go silent for our interests these westerners will pick us one by one.

 

[B@KH]

Pakistan has very few choices and cannot make saudis angry for the canadians.

 

[Pan-Islamic-Pakistan]

I did not know these activists made these anti-Pakistan statements and anti-Muslim posts.

I disagree in general with KSA’s crackdown on Saudi political and religious dissidents, but in this case I will have to begrudgingly support KSA.

Canada are supporting anti-Muslim bigots here.
