Saudi Arabia has rejected reports that it pressurized Pakistan to refrain from participating in Kuala Lumpur Summit.

In a statement, the Saudi Embassy in Pakistan described such reports as baseless and fake.

The Saudi embassy said relations between Pakistan and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are superior to language of threat.

It said that the brotherly relations between the two countries are long standing and strategic based on trust, understanding and mutual respect.

The Saudi Embassy noted that the two countries enjoy a consensus of views on most regional and international issues, especially the issues of Islamic nation.

The Embassy said that Saudi Arabia has always stood with Pakistan in difficult times and that we strive always to stand with Pakistan to be a successful and stable country.
