Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Performs Umrah During Official Saudi Arabia Visit

Islamabad backs Gulf peace efforts, boosts Saudi ties and expands regional diplomacy

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is visiting in Saudi Arabia on Friday for what his office has billed as a routine one-day working visit amid regional tensions.

As reported by AFP, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif will meet in Jeddah to formalize this joint defence agreement.

The Crown Prince received the call from Macron early Friday, during which the two leaders also reviewed bilateral relations and areas of cooperation between Saudi Arabia and France, as well as ways to further develop them.
