ISLAMABAD:
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Army Chief Raheel Sharif will leave for Saudi Arabia on Thursday (tomorrow) for a visit to discuss the latest developments in the Yemen crisis, reported local media sources.
A high level meeting was chaired by Prime Minister in which the decision to visit Saudi Arabia was taken.
Important matters related to Pakistan’s willingness on seeking a solution on Yemen issue politically and cooperation with the Saudi Arabian government will be discussed during the visit, according to sources.
“The decision to find solution of Yemen crisis politically is welcomed,” PM said in a statement.
Shahbaz Sharif also visited Saudi Arabia last week to hold important meetings with the authorities.
Saudi-led coalition on Tuesday announced an end to four-week long air strikes in Yemen which has been welcomed by Pakistan, Iran and United States, according to a local media outlet.
Nawaz Sharif is behaving like a petty official and not a Prime Minister. He has succeeded in drawing in the Army Chief. Why did he not take Chairman Joint Chiefs? Why Gen Raheel?
It is gratifying to learn that Saudi Arabia has announced to halt military operation in Yemen. It was a clear case of war crimes. Nawaz Sharif was hell bent upon involving Pakistani military in Yemen in order to repay the debt house of Sharifs owe to the house of Sauds. It would have been an unmitigated disaster for us. General Raheel Sharif deserves all the credit for not allowing him to do so. As an ordinary citizen, I would request this soldier to prevent his PM from any mischief.
