His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, met today with Mr. Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

During the meeting, the two sides reviewed the bilateral relations between the two countries and ways to enhance and develop them across various fields.

They also discussed regional developments, particularly the repercussions of the ongoing military escalation and its implications for the security and stability of the region and the world, in addition to coordinating joint efforts in this regard.

The meeting was attended by Minister of State, Member of the Council of Ministers, and National Security Advisor Dr. Musaed bin Mohammed Al-Aiban, and President of the General Intelligence Khalid bin Ali Al-Humaidan.

From the Pakistani side, the meeting was attended by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr. Mohammad Ishaq Dar, and Commander of the Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir.

Prime Minister Sharif affirmed that Pakistan stands with the Kingdom with all its capabilities in support of its security and stability.

The Office of the Prime Minister of Pakistan also stated that Prime Minister Sharif reiterated full support for Saudi Arabia during his meeting with the Saudi Crown Prince.

A few days earlier, Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman discussed with Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir the Iranian attacks on Saudi Arabia, within the framework of the Strategic Joint Defense Agreement between the two countries, as well as ways to halt these attacks that undermine the security and stability of the region.

It is worth noting that Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signed the Strategic Joint Defense Agreement on September 17, 2025, to strengthen military and security cooperation. Under the agreement, any attack on either country is considered an attack on the other. The agreement also aims to develop joint deterrence.
