On May 12, Saudi Ambassador to Pakistan, Nawaf bin Saeed Al-Malkiy Monday called on the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar here and discussed matters of mutual interest.
During the meeting, they discussed full gamut of bilateral ties and reaffirmed their commitment to further strengthen already existing fraternal relations across all sectors, a press release issued by the Foreign Office Spokesperson said.
Pakistan has categorically rejected the baseless, provocative, and irresponsible allegations made by the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a recent public address in Rajasthan.
The Foreign Office, in a statement on Friday, said the remarks, replete with distortions, misrepresentations, and inflammatory rhetoric, are clearly aimed at stoking regional tensions for narrow political gains.
It said such statements not only reflect a deliberate attempt to mislead the public but also violate the norms of responsible statecraft.
