Speaking on the occasion, Nawaf bin Said Al-Malki, the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) to Pakistan stated that both nations have close and fraternal relations.

KSA has always stood with Pakistan in difficult times, particularly during disasters. Lieutenant General Akhtar Nawaz, the Chairman of the National Disaster Management Authority, thanked the Ambassador of KSA to Pakistan.

He also expressed gratitude to the Director of the KS Relief, as well as the KSA for generous and prompt assistance to flood victims.
