Meanwhile, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said that the relationship between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia is unprecedented in the world.

“The close relations between the two brotherly countries spanned over decades,” the prime minister said in an interview with Al Arabiya, a Saudi state-owned international news television channel today.
