ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has been invited by Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman to visit Saudi Arabia during Ramazan.
Well-placed diplomatic sources told The News/Jang here the other day that the visit would be worked out through diplomatic channels once the schedule is finalized.
Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman, who is also prime minister of the kingdom, has extended the invitation to few leaders of the Muslim world. They would avail the opportunity to spend few days in the holy land and perform Ibadat in Makkah Mukarma and Madinah Munawarah besides visiting the coastal city Jeddah where they will call on the custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdul Aziz and the crown prince to discuss subjects of mutual interest.
The two distinguished royals will shift to Makkah towards the end of the month and some leaders would call on them. It is likely that Shehbaz will visit the kingdom in the third week of this month.
