Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman's Pakistan visit delayed

Islamabad : Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's visit to Pakistan has been delayed by a day, said Foreign Ministry. He was scheduled to arrive in Pakistan on February 17 (Sunday).

The Pakistan Ministry, however, did not divulge any reason behind the postponement. The bilateral engagements "remains unchanged," reported Dawn.

This will be the Saudi Crown Prince's maiden visit to Pakistan since becoming the heir to the throne in 2017.

The sudden change in the schedule comes a day after Saudi Arabia strongly condemned the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district that claimed the lives of 40 CRPF personnel. 

Denouncing the deadly assault, Saudi Arabia on Friday reinforced its support to India against terrorism and extremism, wishing for the speedy recovery of the wounded.
