ISLAMABAD: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Monday has met Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman and discussed Pak-Saudi strategic relations.

The meeting was taken place in Islamabad.

Earlier, Saudi Prince Mohammad bin Salman (MBS) had been accorded a red carpet welcome and a guard of honour at the Prime Minister (PM) House in Islamabad after his arrival at Noor Khan Air Base in Rawalpindi.

The crown prince was received by PM Imran Khan and other members of his cabinet at the air base.

Seven agreements and Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) were inked with Pakistan hoping that they will provide welcome relief to its teetering economy.
