The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government’s preparations to welcome Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman are in full-swing as the party has booked 300 Luxury Toyota Land Cruiser Prado vehicles for Salman and his companions.
However, the crown prince would be travelling in his personal vehicle which will be transported from the Kingdom with his other belongings. Express Tribune reported that everything the Saudi’s will use during Pakistan visit will be brought from the Kingdom.

The Saudi Embassy said that all expenses except for security ones would be looked after by the Saudi government itself. Expenses for hotel stay and the vehicles will be borne by the Saudi government. Security expenses will be taken care of by Pakistan.
Moreover, 130 royal guards will accompany the Saudi prince. A 235-member delegation of the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC) led by ex-COAS Raheel Sharif is already in Pakistan to review the security situation and preparations for Muhammad Bin Salman’s visit.
According to reports, Prime Minister Imran Khan will himself receive the crown prince at the airport. Also, Muhammad Bin Salman will stay at the PM House during his trip to Pakistan.

He will also be given VVIP protocol when his plane enters the Pakistani airspace and will be presented a salute by JF-17 Thunder fighter jets.
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Nafisa Shah called PTI government ‘a cruel joke’. “After wasting government's resources in bizzare auctions of all shades of cars and buffaloes, PTI is now hiring 300 Prados for Saudi crown prince’s visit to Pakistan. This Government is honestly a cruel joke,” she said.

More than a month after assuming office, PM Imran Khan kickstarted austerity drive by auctioning the luxury cars at the PM House.
He also refused to live in the PM House, official residence with 524 servants and with a fleet of more than 88 luxury cars, and opted to move to a three-bedroom house of his military secretary.
