Two million Pakistanis working in Saudi Arabia: Ahsan Iqbal

RAWALPINDI: Federal Minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Ahsan Iqbal has said that two million Pakistanis are rendering their services in Saudi Arabia and the kingdom had helped Pakistan not only verbally but also physically on a number of occasions.
The PML-N leader expressed these views while talking to Hamid Mir, the host of Geo News programme Capital Talk, on Monday. He said that the whole world had stopped our aid when Pakistan had carried out the nuclear tests but it was Saudi Arabia which continued providing aid to us. “The Saudi kingdom is always ready to help us in any kind of crisis.” He said that it was wrong to say that relations with Saudi Arabia were with one personality. In fact, the state has its ties with other states, he added.
