Saudi Arabia to stand by Pakistan : Saudi envoy


ISLAMABAD : Saudi Arabia Ambassador to Pakistan Abdul Aziz bin Ibrahim Al-Ghadeer on Tuesday said that assassination of Saudi diplomat Hassan Al Qahtani would not affect relations between the two brotherly countries. He was speaking at roundtable conference on killing of Saudi diplomat and its implication on relations between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.“ We are one nation and one family and I assure all Pakistanis that government and people of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will stand by Pakistan on every occasion”. He said that it was our duty to stand by  Pakistan as “we have historic relations,  We are Muslim and one Ummah”, he added.
Abdul Aziz bin Ibrahim Al-Ghadeer said “ We trust the government of Pakistan and believe that it will bring criminals involved in the killing of Saudi diplomat to justice. It was terrorist attack and Saudi government wants to know who were behind the crime”.
