Nawaz Sharif is making the trip ahead of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s planned visit to Islamabad. The dates have not been finalised yet as the Iranians are keeping them open for now because of a developing situation, as described by a diplomatic observer.

The issues Nawaz Sharif would possibly discuss with Saudi leaders during his stay in Riyadh include Pakistan’s role in the 34-nation military alliance; Saudi Arabia’s financial assistance and planned investment in Pakistan; regional issues and other facets of bilateral ties.

  1. PM is actually going for the so-called 34 nation alliance. This is contrary to national aspirations. Parliament advised him accordingly but he is adamant due to personal obligations. Is he coming back?

  2. He should stay in Saudi Arabia with his head chopping friends. The world is against the Zionist and house of Saud and Trump wants to occupy the Saudi oil fields and ban Muslims but not Zionist who initially caused all the problems in the beginning. I think its time to ask Putin to look after Mecca and Medina with s400 .
