MULTAN: Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi says a high-level Saudi delegation will visit Islamabad after Eidul Fitr. Speaking to the media here, he said the delegation will deliberate the upcoming visit of the Saudi foreign minister to Islamabad. He termed Prime Minister Imran Khan’s recent trip to Saudi Arabia “highly productive”. FM Qureshi said the prime minister and Saudi prince signed an agreement under which the Saudi-Pakistani Supreme Coordination Council will be established. The council will provide an institutionalised and structured platform to boost relations between the two countries, he added.
