ISLAMABAD: Pakistani army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa arrived in Riyadh on an official visit ahead of a visit by Prime Minister Imran Khan to Saudi Arabia later this week, Islamabad’s mission in Riyadh said on Tuesday.
Bajwa arrived in the kingdom just days before a visit by Khan, who is scheduled to be in Saudi Arabia on May 7-9.
“He [Bajwa] was received by the [Pakistani] Ambassador [to Saudi Arabia] Bilal Akbar & Defense Attache Brig. Haroon Ishaaq Raja,” the Pakistani embassy in Riyadh said.
Last month, an adviser to the PM on the Middle East said his upcoming visit would give a “new dimension and impetus” to Pakistani-Saudi relations.
Khan has been invited to the kingdom by Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman.
