Nawaz is a tool, but he's not stupid. He'll show up and he'll kiss the prince's ***.

A rumor is floating around about 100 million dollars to be invested in JF-17 and Al-Khalid MBT programs

US$ 100 Million is like 4 JFT!!!

You sure it's US$ 100 Million and not like US$ 2-5 Billion? Now that would actually make a difference.....AESA, TVC, RAM, composites, Better Engine etc......

Well I remember just a few months ago, the members were bashing KSA like anything on this very forum. They threw some money on the table and everybody is all praises?

Weren't the members going after KSA for precisely the opposite reasons? Such as investing US$ 70+ Billions on US Military equipment, thereby providing the US military with Billions for further R&D instead of investing atleast partially in R&D with a brother nation. I mean, with their money and our efforts, we can develop weapons that can rival western/US weapons, at perhaps 1/10th the cost, within a decade or 2.....especially with the help of China!!

No, the Pakistani army is too important for KSA to demand it to beg. If there are any institutions that have any pride left in Pakistan, it's the military and judiciary.

Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud arrived in Pakistan for a three-day visit Saturday and met with the country’s President Mamnoon Hussain at the presidential palace in the capital, Islamabad.

“During the meeting, they exchanged cordial talks and reviewed bilateral relations between the two countries,” the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

The crown prince, who is also the kingdom’s Deputy Premier and Minister of Defense, was invited to visit the south Asian country by Pakistan’s Prime Minister Mohammad Nawaz Sharif.

The crown prince told SPA that his visit came within the framework of the strong historical relations between the two countries, stressing that both Riyadh and Islamabad desire to deepen and further their relations.

He highlighted that his visit aims to enhance work between the two countries towards common issues to serve their both their interests regionally and internationally.

He added that his visit will promote the roles of the two countries to maintain security, stability and development at regional and international arenas, particularly Islamic issues and role of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

In the third day, the prince will be meeting with Pakistani military officials, including the country’s army chief, where it is expected that they will sign a security agreement.

After Pakistan, the crown prince will be visiting Japan, India and the Maldives. These countries have invited the Saudi official to visit.

We don't tend to make announcements to everything we do with Pakistan. But here comes an example to counter such claim:

No one begs you. Pakistan is a pillar ally, we will always have a mutual understandings on every subject of a concern.

Our relations are far from being comprehended by mere random emotional judgments.

Only 100 million dollars??? Seriously?? That's pocket change my friend. The Saudis throw $70 billion in arms purchases from the USA and EU but they can only give us 100 million. So much for brotherhood aye?

No body except you to look at one another as a brother.

We don't need to announce everything we do with Gov't(s) and that's that.
