ISLAMABAD: A Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson on Thursday said that Pakistan is immensely concerned with the crisis in the relations between Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and Canada and places on record its solidarity with the former.

“Pakistan always supports the sovereignty of states and the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other states. Both these aspects are enshrined in UN Charter and are among the basic tenets of international law, and the foundation of peaceful and friendly inter-state relations,” he said.

“We fully agree with the statement of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) secretary general that KSA enjoys immense respect at the regional and international level, as it does among the people of Pakistan,” he added.

He further said, “Pakistan stands by KSA in protecting its sovereignty as a matter of principle and based on the historic and brotherly relations between our two countries.”
