Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, as a special guest, attended a luncheon hosted by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud at the Royal Court in Makkah al-Mukarramah on Friday.

The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia gave a special welcome to the Prime Minister and personally drove the Prime Minister to attend the luncheon.

Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud warmly welcomed Shehbaz Sharif at the luncheon and informal talks were held between the two leaders.

The luncheon was attended by important leaders from the Middle East, including members of the Saudi cabinet and senior Saudi civil and military leadership.

The Prime Minister's grand welcome by the Saudi Crown Prince and his participation in the luncheon as a special guest is a reflection of the long-standing brotherly relations between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia and Pakistan's diplomatic achievements under the leadership of the Prime Minister.
