The two sides will also exchange views on regional and international issues of mutual interest.

A number of bilateral agreements/MoUs are expected to be signed during the visit.

The Prime Minister will meet the Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Dr. Yousef Al-Othaimeen, the Secretary General of the World Muslim League, Mohammad bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa and the Imams of the Two Holy Mosques in Makkah and Medina.

He will also interact with Pakistani Diaspora in Jeddah.

Both initiatives call for investing in nature-based solutions to address climate change.
