Long long time ago , PPPP government is still tiring for years to get loan for oil from Saudi Arab but they declined. They are happy to sell Oil to India.
Saudi Arab, Jordan and Iran were the nation who used to help Pakistan (during war) but now all the friendly Kings to Pakistan are dead.
Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan of UAE (may he rest in peace) was the last true Pakistani friend alive.
All friends Bhutto made in Islamic world (except for Colonel Muammar Al-Gaddafi) are dead. Pakistan should look for new friends.
I do not agree with that
Saudi Arabia assures full support in war on terror
ISLAMABAD: Saudi Arabia fully supports Pakistan’s role in the war on terror and will extend all possible support for countering and defeating forces of terrorism, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said here on Saturday.
He was talking to media persons along with Saudi Ambassador to Pakistan Abdul Aziz Al-Ghadeer, who earlier held a detailed meeting with the minister and handed him a letter of the Saudi Interior Minister Prince Naif bin Abdul Aziz, in which he assured full support to the Pakistani nation and its security forces in fighting terror.
‘Our commitment and full readiness to provide all possible help to our brethren in Pakistan for countering the forces of terrorism and defeating the saboteurs who are causing havoc on earth’, the letter says.
Rehman Malik said, ‘We are greatly thankful to the Ambassador and Prince Naif bin Abdul Aziz for such good words of help. Saudi Arabia has always stood with Pakistan at every difficult moment’.
He also condemned the group from Yemen which was interfering in Saudi Arabia.
‘We stand shoulder to shoulder with our brotherly country Saudi Arabia for any support and help in this connection’.
The minister said Saudi Arabia was facing same kind of terrorist threats and actions as being faced by Pakistan.
‘The world must look into factors, states, people and groups supporting the enemies of humanity. They have no religion and boundaries and are doing it to destablise certain countries,’ said Malik.
Replying to a question, he said there was no deadlock between PPP and MQM, adding both coalition partners were moving ahead smoothly.
‘Difference of opinion exists in democracy but this does not mean they are leaving us. We have no such problems.’
‘Altaf Hussain made a phone call during talks at Dubai, saying he never demanded resignation from the president, rather he assured he would use all his resources along with his party to strengthen the president’.
Rehman Malik said they have to think above party politics as the country was facing a lot of problems and fighting the war on terror.
He said PPP and MQM made joint legal and political think tank teams for discussing important national and international issues.—APP
Military cooperation
Pakistan maintains close military ties with Saudi Arabia, providing extensive support, arms and training for the Military of Saudi Arabia.[3] Pilots of the Pakistan Air Force flew aircraft of the Royal Saudi Air Force to repel an incursion from South Yemen in 1969. In the 1970s and 1980s, approximately 15,000 Pakistani soldiers were stationed in the kingdom.[3] Saudi Arabia has negotiated the purchase of Pakistani ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads.[3] It is also speculated that
Saudi Arabia secretly funded Pakistan's nuclear programme and seeks to purchase atomic weapons from Pakistan to enable it to counteract possible threats from arsenals of the weapons of mass destruction possessed by Iran, Iraq and Israel.[5][6][7] Both nations have received high-level delegations of scientists, government and military experts seeking to study the development of a nuclear programme.[5][8][3]
