Saudi Arabia’s Shoura Council Speaker Sheikh Abdullah Al-Asheikh warmly welcomed Pakistan’s Ambassador to the Kingdom, Ahmad Farooq, in Riyadh on Sunday. Their meeting reflected the deep, long-standing friendship between the two countries a relationship built on shared history, faith, and mutual respect.
Lately, this partnership has gained fresh momentum with important agreements like the Strategic Mutual Defence Pact signed in September 2025. This pact isn’t just a formal document; it’s a heartfelt commitment by both nations to stand shoulder to shoulder in times of challenge, promising to protect each other from any threat. It feels like a brotherly bond strengthened in today’s complex regional landscape.
And it’s not just about security. Economic ties are blossoming too. Just last month, the two countries launched an Economic Cooperation Framework to boost trade and investment, as well as joint projects in energy, technology, agriculture, and tourism. It’s an exciting time, full of potential for businesses and people on both sides. During their conversation, Sheikh Al-Asheikh and Ambassador Farooq also reaffirmed their shared dream a future where Saudi Arabia and Pakistan continue to grow stronger together, not just as allies but as extended family, inspiring hope and progress in the region.
