The two ministers agreed to stay in touch and actively engage on the matter, in continuation of the close contact Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have maintained since the first joint US and Israeli strikes on Iran, and the ensuing conflict.
Both sides expressed satisfaction with the longstanding relationship between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, describing it as rooted in mutual trust, shared values, and close cooperation.
Of recent, Pakistan has increasingly positioned itself as a key diplomatic actor in conflict resolution, offering to not just facilitate but also host US-Iran talks in Islamabad; talks which are possible in the coming days.
Meanwhile bilateral contact and consultations between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are expected to continue; countries which are now also tied together in a mutual defense agreement.
As regional situation shifts quickly Pakistan and Saudi Arabia appear aligned in the pursuit of stability through dialogue and cooperation.
