This was done not only to protect Pakistan but the entire world. He out rightly rejected baseless Indian accusations linking Pakistan to the Pehalgam incident without any evidence and reiterated his call for a transparent and neutral international investigation into the incident.

The Saudi Ambassador thanked the Prime Minister for sharing his views on this important issue and said that Saudi Arabia wants to work with Pakistan for peace and security in the region.
