Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to Pakistan, Ahmad Farooq, has confirmed that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is expected to visit Pakistan soon, signaling further strengthening of bilateral relations.

Speaking to the media at the Pakistani Embassy in Riyadh, Ambassador Farooq highlighted that cooperation between the two countries is expanding not only in defence but across multiple sectors. He said the recent Pak–Saudi defence agreement has added a new dimension to ties, and the benefits are already being reflected in Pakistan’s economy.

The ambassador revealed that agreements will soon be signed between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia in eight key sectors, including information technology, agriculture, and textiles. These deals aim to enhance trade, investment, and economic collaboration, boosting growth for both nations.

Ambassador Farooq also noted that Pakistani exports to Saudi Arabia have reached historic levels, highlighting a significant milestone in trade relations. In 2025 alone, around 500,000 Pakistani workers moved to Saudi Arabia for employment, contributing to the Kingdom’s workforce. Currently, more than 3 million Pakistanis are employed across various sectors in Saudi Arabia, underscoring the depth of labour ties between the two countries.
