A high-level business delegation from Saudi Arabia, led by Prince Mansour bin Mohammad Al Saud, Chairman of the Saudi-Pakistan Joint Business Council, arrived in Islamabad on Tuesday to discuss trade, investment, and economic collaboration, the Foreign Office (FO) said.

The visit follows Pakistan’s decision to form an 18-member committee to oversee bilateral economic engagements and negotiations with the Kingdom. Last month, the two nations also signed a mutual defence agreement, pledging a joint response to any act of aggression.

According to an FO statement, Prince Mansour and his delegation will hold meetings with Pakistani leadership, senior government officials, chambers of commerce, and leading business groups to explore avenues for expanding trade and investment cooperation.

The FO said the visit underscores the “deep-rooted and brotherly ties” between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, reflecting their shared commitment to expanding economic and investment partnerships under the Saudi-Pakistan Joint Business Council.

“Discussions during the visit are expected to focus on trade and investment facilitation and collaboration across priority sectors aligned with Saudi Vision 2030 and Pakistan’s economic growth agenda,” the statement added.
