PM Shehbaz departs for Saudi Arabia

Web Desk: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif departed on Wednesday for official visits to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkiye from April 15 to 18, the Government of Pakistan said in a post on X.

The visit came three days after the US and Iran were unable to reach an agreement to end their war despite marathon negotiations lasting around 21 hours. The prolonged talks, aimed at halting hostilities that have killed thousands and driven global oil prices higher over the past six weeks, ended with both sides blaming each other for the impasse.
