In a ceremony held at PM House in honour of the Saudi Crown Prince, Prime Minister Imran Khan made a special request to the former to look into the hardships faced by Pakistani labourers living in Saudi Arabia.
Khan also talked about the Pakistani prisoners saying that they were poor people who had left their families behind. Muhammad Bin Salman responded to Khan saying that Pakistan should consider him as their ambassador to Saudi Arabia.
He added that Saudi Arabia cannot say ‘no’ to Pakistan and will serve the country in any capacity possible.
The cases of remaining prisoners will also be reviewed.
Earlier today, MBS left for Saudi Arabia after a day-long visit to Pakistan. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) official Twitter said that a new era in Pak-Saudi relations has begun and Pakistan will make progress under the leadership of Imran Khan.
