ISLAMABAD, SEPT 04 (DNA) – The foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia and the UAE arrived in Islamabad on Wednesday. Saudi Foreign Minister Adil Al Jubeir and UAE Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan will be in Islamabad for one day.
They were received by Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi.
They are expected to meet Prime Minister Imran Khan and Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa.
During the meetings, two-way communication as well as situation in Indian-held Kashmir will be discussed. The overall situation in the region will also be discussed.
On Wednesday, PM Khan and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman spoke over the phone and discussed the “latest developments in the region”.
This is the third phone call between the two leaders since India revoked Kashmir’s autonomous status on August 5. Tensions between Pakistan and India flared up after the move. India has curtailed movement and shut down phones and the internet in Kashmir, bringing in tens of thousands of troops to turn the main city of Srinagar into a fortress.
They are visiting Pakistan as a result of direct telephone calls by Prime Minister Imran Khan to the crown princes of the two countries in the past few days.
