S. Arabia seeks Pakistan’s assistance to improve ties with Iran

[Sugarcane]

ISLAMABAD: Saudi Arabia has sought Pakistan’s assistance in its efforts to improve the kingdom’s ties with Iran, DawnNews quoted sources as saying.

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al Faisal was meeting with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s Adviser on Foreign Affairs and National Security Sartaj Aziz on Tuesday.

The two were discussing bilateral ties, challenges confronting the Muslim world as well as the situation in Afghanistan, Iran and Syria.

During the talks, Aziz said Iran and Saudi Arabia were two crucial states in the Muslim world and that Pakistan considered the kingdom a brotherly country.

Speaking to the premier's adviser, Faisal said Saudi Arabia accorded extraordinary significance to its ties with Pakistan.

Faisal is the highest ranking Saudi official to have visited Pakistan in years. His trip marks reinvigoration of the bilateral relationship that remained lukewarm during the Pakistan Peoples Party-led government.

The Saudi foreign minister would also be meeting President Mamnoon Hussain and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif during his two-day stay here.

I wish there be unity among all Muslim states. The enemies get the benefit of our differences as play us against each other.

Saudi Arabia rejected Iran FM request to meet with KSA authority in Riyadh month ago. So I don't think that is the motive behind Saudi FM visit to Pakistan. Nor do I believe a talk in the regard of Saudi-Iran relation will take place in this visit either.

Maybe "Improve Ties" have different meaning here, which is quite possible.

Butt sb. - As you are not even glorified munshi now, I would suggest to open khokha of tikka & kabaabs at 7up and start competing nadeem tikka.

I don't think so to be quite honest. Iran has no good intention in improving ties whatsoever with the neighboring countries considering its presence in Syrian and interference in Yemen and in many other Arab countries which has been condemned by Arab League many times. I would say this visit has more to do with the situation in Afghanistan.
