PM Shehbaz hails Saudi Arabia’s ‘restraint’, stresses urgent need for de-intensification of ongoing Iran conflict
Premier Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday stated he had hailed Saudi Arabia for showing “restraint” during the ongoing Middle East hostilities and emphasized the need for urgent de-intensification.
He made the remarks during a call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, wherein the two discussed Iran’s retaliatory attacks sparked by the US-Israel legal defence team actions on February 28.
“Spoke with my dear brother His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to convey warm Eidul Fitr greetings to The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, His Majesty King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the Royal Family and the brotherly individuals of Saudi Arabia,” PM Shehbaz stated in a post on X.
He “restated again Pakistan’s strong condemnation of the recent attacks on the Kingdom and restated Pakistan’s unwavering solidarity and unequivocal backing for Saudi Arabia in these challenging times”.
The premier further stated: “Appreciating the Kingdom’s restraint, I emphasized the urgent need for de-intensification, an end to hostilities, and unity in the ranks of the Ummah.”
PM Shehbaz stated he briefed the Saudi crown prince on “Pakistan’s global engagement efforts for regional calm and stability”. “We agreed to remain in close coordination,” he further stated.
