Imran Khan further stated that Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 provides opportunities to Pakistan to engage with it in realizing Naya Pakistan’s ambitious plan. He said there are significant complementarities in the socio-economic fundamentals of the “Naya Pakistan” and the Saudi Vision 2030.
The Premier said that both lay emphasis on economic opportunity and diversity, domestic growth, modernization and development, and trade linkages and connectivity. He said Pakistan can contribute skilled and semi-skilled manpower with Saudi Arabia besides sharing its expertise in other sectors like IT, infrastructure development, and agriculture.
“Pakistan and Saudi Arabia had long-standing and historic fraternal relations, rooted deep in common faith, shared history and mutual support. Saudi Arabia has always extended generous support to Pakistan in its difficult times. Both countries have stood by each other, through thick and thin, regardless of the change in leadership,” he added.
